dewlap fur pulling

hot cross bun

Alpha Buck
the last few wks my spayed doe has been pulling out fur from her dewlap any idea why when she has been spayed for over 12 months, also she has been making like a grunt when she eats or is fussed which she never used to do???
 
it does sound a bit hormonal - maybe it is just the time of year even if she is spayed. One of my neutered does was running around nest building yesterday despite our finding the receipt for her Spay. We did have another bun who was pulling lots of fur out of her dewlap and we figured out in the end that it was stress. once we changed her environment she stopped.
