Jimboslice Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I got my 3 yrs old siberian husky last november and she had a litter of puppies previously and had blew out her coat out due to nursing pups. Not uncommon. She grew a good winter coat and was healthy as the vet said. She's had three litters and I had her spayed in february. It's now mid may and getting quite warm and while the coat has stopped growing it's only releasing dead hair from the undercoat. She is too hot. I know this is not common. Does anybody know anything about this please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 3 litters in 3 years has probably taken its toll on the poor girl, if she is shedding out the undercoat tho that's good , just keep brushing her , walk her early/late when it's cool, make sure shes got plenty of shade , a paddling pool and plenty of water to help keep her cool aswell will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpup Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have a woolly husky that refused to blow his coat for 2 years - this year he was the same - and believe me brushing him was a nightmare. Last week we bathed both dogs and the day afterwards Marley started to shed properly. Granted it only lasted for a few days - but it was the most I had gotten off him in three years. I put his lack of shedding down to the fact he has been very ill on and off for a couple of years (food allergies) but also to the fact he had an operation close to his spine that went wrong, needing another surgery - so was run down. My other husky has shed twice in the 7 months we have had him. It could be a coincidence - it was just very noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboslice Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Guess I'm brushing it. Any recommendations for the undercoat for brushes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 An undercoat rake would be the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
