Fur not growing back?

Hi everyone!

I've been away for a while, sorry!
I'm looking for some advice x My problem is not as serious as others (i hope!) but I hope someone can help me out x

I took Lola in for a spay on January 5th, all went well, no complications, and she bounced back from it and was her old self again in a few days!

However, it's now March, and she still has the bald patch! I mean, completely bald, the fur doesn't seem to have grown back at all!

Can anyone tell me if this is normal? How long does it usually take for the fur to grow back?

Thank you

This happened to Marbles after her spay. It was bald for months, but did grow back eventually. The vet said she'd had a slight reaction to the stitches I think.
 
I have no experience of this.My bridge bun Cleo when she got spayed her fur started growing back within a week! When she went for her check up after a week the vet could hardly see the wound at all.She was a cross minilop/lion head,maybe depends on the buns type of coat.
 
Willow was spayed in December (by the rescue)...... She has only recently grown all her fur back....
 
My two dwarfs were done begining of December and Mimi still has no sign of growing back, I was thinking of asking the same question.
 
Poppy had an ultrasound a couple of months ago and was shaved for that. She is still bald as a coot under there!!
