Mordecai Siegal (Ed.) The UC Davis Book of Dogs. I continue to take it because I feel at this point I would be worse off without it, and my hair would most definitely shed at an alarming rate. Hair that eventually grows back in may be darker in color. The year 2004 was probably my most memorable best hair year, hardly any shedding and I just remember feeling a sense of relief from it all. Loss of the hair may cause a drop in temperature in the area that adversely affects the blood supply to the area. This may be an adaptive mechanism to reduce the loss of heat from the exposed skin area in harshly cold climates. The hair no longer insulates the skin and the blood vessels constrict causing loss of blood flow to the hair follicles. Two theories are proposed as to why this occurs in sled dogs: After the hair is shaved closely, like when shaving the hair for venapuncture, surgery or wound management, regrowth is delayed for up to 6 to 12 months. Post-clipping alopecia is a common condition found primarily in sled dogs (Samoyeds, Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes), Keeshonds and Chow Chows. I have attached the information from the e below: My vet said the hair will eventually grow back, but in the mean time I can give my dog some Melatonin vitamins (you can get these at any natural food store). It is counter-intuitive, because apparently it is the skin's exposure to colder temperatures that slows/stops the hair growth.when you would think the cold temperature would make them grow more hair.
I took my dog to the vet, as well as this theory to the vet, and she told me this was correct. Apparently, sled dogs (close relation to poms) are prone to post-clipping alopecia. I found some information on the internet. I shaved her, and now her hair is growing back in patches. I am having the same problem with my pomeranian.
