Fur loss

My burberry (Continental) has had something very similar. He has had such a bad moult this year but I think part of it is because he was neutered around moulting time which has made it worse. He had bald spots around his head but it has grown back and his new fur is almost identical to his skin colour which is a silvery grey. I have been pulling tuffs out too as they are just hanging there and poking out. He is struggling to shed the top of his back and around his bottom area. He looks so weird at the moment a bit like a designer poodle! The new fur around his head is absolutely stunning, it is so soft like velvet and his fur colour is beautiful. so i expect the very same thing is going on with your Bun. xxx

Thank you! Hector is a conti too so there's loads of fur left to shed!!

I agree, I love it when their new fur comes through. So so soft :love:

Thank goodness I've found this thread (thanks for the heads up, SJH)! (I've just posted that "I think I've plucked her bald by accident"). What a relief! Looks like she's not the only one having a startling moult this year then, phew!
 
I was just going to link it but you got there first!

I'm pleased to report his Lordship now has a lovely, soft new coat. :love:

Hopefully, beautiful velvet will return soon :)

Thank you :). I haven't dared to tease any out today! x
 
I posted earlier in this thread about my Rex Buck. He is still developing even more holes of missing fur and looks very odd :lol: There are certainly some serious moults going on this year.
