Question
We recently lost our 7yo German Shepherd a month ago. I noticed that my bulldog has areas where she is losing hair. No itching, skin irritation, no licking, and it doesn't bother her. Could this be due to stress of the loss that she is experiencing?

Answer
Hello Lisa, So sorry for the loss of your German Shepherd.  Yes, your bulldog could have excessive fur loss related to anxiety.
If it continues, please have her see the VET for a good exam and blood work.
Have the Vet check her blood/ Thyroid levels.

Blessings to you!
