Update - Yellow Labrador Retriever Losing Hair on Sides

This is an update sent to me by Connie who owns Cosmo, a yellow Labrador Retriever that was having problems with hair loss on both of his sides.

Reader's E-mail - Connie Writes:

Fay,

I just wanted to give you an update on Cosmo's fur. You were a great help in all of this!

He is still taking the Omega Fatty Acid, so his fur looks very shiny and healthy again.

We are brushing him every day, so again, that has helped bring back some oil into his fur and it shows.

He is taking two 3 mg pills of melatonin for a hormone replacement.The growth of fur seems to be coming back almost completely!

He is not sleepy or sluggish!

I will take him back to the vet for a check up on things at some point, but this is probably a seasonal loss of fur-flank--and he is really looking great!

I have made note of your website, check it once in awhile.....

Thanks

Have a great Spring... (Got the hose out the other day and Cosmo's personality changed before my very eyes. water, water and more water!

Connie
