Question:
Hi my 2 year old cocker spaniel gave birth to her first litter of puppies on July 19th. Today while petting her, she had huge clumps of fur coming off of her and raw patches where the fur came off. Is this normal and what can I do. Thanks for your help.

Answer:
It's normal for many dogs to shed a lot of fur, but if there are bare spots where the fur came off that is NOT normal.
You should take your dog to the vet, too many things to even list can cause a dog to lose patches of fur.

Answer:
Thanks for your input. I will call the vet first thing in the morning.
