Hi Everyone,
Winstin and I have been so busy that we have not posted in forever. At least it feels that way.
He turned a year old on June 10th. His daddy cooked him a steak!!
Here is my question though. Lately he has been scratching some. He is bathed every two weeks and his skin is not dry. He gets brushed but the situation is this. He is loosing little clumps of hair. I cannot figure it out. When you look at him there are not bald spots. What is happening? Also as soon as I brush him, two seconds later he looks like a mess. I use ALOE and OATMEAL shampoo on him. Does he need conditioner? I know they do not shed but something is going on. Any ideas?

Thanks! My mom thought he was blowing his coat but I said mom they do not shed. I am a little confused. I could call the vet.

aww thank you! i think you can do a search on blowing coat and maybe it will pull up old threads on it...

Thanks!!
I just did that and the first thread I read was they can have shedding/blowing from anesthesia. Well, my little boy had four teeth pulled three weeks ago. I think that makes sense.
