Question
Hi! I have a toy fox terrier and he's four months old now. One week ago, he started shedding and losing a large amount of hair. Until now, he still is losing some hair. From his back to his tail. It is now very thin. I started feeding him with dog food a week ago. Do you think it has something to do with the dog food that I'm feeding him? What supplements can i give him to thicken his coat back? Thank you.

Answer
Hello Daven, Please take this little one to the vet.  It may be that he is Blowing his puppy coat??? Not sure --- You need a vet to see him plus he will be needing some shots soon.
BEST of luck to you guys!
