Shadow is suffering badly with hair loss and she\u2019s not happy about it. It all started as it normally would have done as a pre-season shed. The problem is that it just hasn\u2019t stopped. She\u2019s a tough cookie, but she is asking if she can borrow my jacket when she goes out as it\u2019s turned a bit colder and she\u2019s feeling it. Her undercoat, which is the extra layer that keeps us nice and warm seems to be missing altogether and her top coat is both short and thin. The vet says it may be the hormonal changes with having had a litter and now being neutered, but if it carries on they will do a blood test. Her hair doesn\u2019t seem to be growing back at all on her operation site either, which she is not happy about. She said if she\u2019d wanted to be a Mexican Hairless she\u2019d have been born a different breed. I told her she looked as lovely as ever, but she didn\u2019t seem to find that any consolation.<\/p>\n

Our Mistress has had to resort to the doctor for antibiotics as her cold has become a chest infection. She\u2019s fed up as that will interfere with her Helminthic Therapy and mean she can\u2019t eat all the things she was planning to over Christmas. I looked at her expanding waistline and had the good sense not to say that might be a good thing! You should have seen how much sugar went into making the cherry fudge she made at the weekend. Even I thought that might be a step too far and I\u2019ve got quite a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

My anxiety medication doesn\u2019t seem to be working yet. I\u2019m ok round the house unless the others get too lively, but out and about I just go into meltdown when I meet another dog. Our Mistress does her best to time my walks for the points of the day when she rarely sees anyone else, but that\u2019s not always possible. Even I can see the problem it\u2019s causing, so I do hope my tablets make a difference soon.<\/p>\n
