My dog, and the neighbors dog has gone thru the same thing. Shave resulted in no hair growing-back. We have had success with adding Thyroxine to the pet, which regrew hair. Cushing disease can be serious. The adrenal glands get burned-out (steroids are often blamed for this). I hope it is just a low thyroid, the medicine is very inexpensive. Try goole-ing or Ask.com about cushings disease and dogs, and hypothyroidism and dogs. I honestly don't think you can learn too much, when it comes to the care of you pet. I wish you the best of luck! Kat Have you pet tested for Cushing disease and low thyroid. My dog, and the neighbors dog has gone thru the same thing. Shave resulted in no hair growing-back.

I treat my sammies to a yearly spring shaving which they all really like. This last spring Billie got his shave, loved it, but an unusual situation has developed which, in 30 years, I have never before seen. All of his fur has grown back except for his back. It has just come back in patches and with winter coming on I am concerned. Also that something might be out-of-balance. The vet has suggested blood tests, but I am trying to treat them in the holistic manner, both cooking their meals and eliminating unnecessary veterinary procedure as you have suggested. Can you offer any advise on this fur situation? Katie. Advise needed for Billie the Samoyed. I treat
