Why does Teddy have severe hair loss

When you joyfully welcome a furry teddy bear into your home, its round eyes, curly fur, and every move melt your heart. However, as time passed, dog hair began to dance around the house, causing headaches on clothes, sofas, and floors. Why does the cute little teddy bear have severe hair loss? There are many reasons behind this that are worth exploring in depth.

From the physiological characteristics of Teddy, they belong to the curly haired dog breed, with a relatively unique hair structure. Under normal circumstances, Teddy will have a certain degree of seasonal molting. In spring and autumn, in order to adapt to changes in temperature, Teddy's body will activate the molting mechanism. In spring, they shed their thick winter fur to welcome the warm season; Autumn is about growing thicker hair to resist the cold winter. During this process, the amount of shedding hair will significantly increase, just like when we change clothes during the season, Teddy is also "changing clothes" for his body.

Dietary factors have a significant impact on Teddy's hair health. If the diet lacks necessary nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals, it will directly affect the quality of hair. Protein is an important substance that makes up hair, and a lack of protein can cause hair to be fragile and prone to breakage, thereby exacerbating hair loss. Vitamins and minerals help maintain skin health and promote normal hair growth. Long term consumption of low-quality dog food, or the owner randomly feeding Teddy with human like food, can lead to nutritional imbalance. For example, excessive salt content in human food can increase the burden on Teddy's kidneys, thereby affecting the health of hair and making hair loss more severe.

The living environment is also quietly affecting Teddy's shedding condition. If the living environment is too humid, it is easy to breed various bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms can invade Teddy's skin, causing skin inflammation, disrupting the normal function of hair follicles, and leading to hair loss. Imagine that people are also prone to skin diseases in humid environments, and Teddy is no exception. In addition, allergens in the environment, such as pollen and dust mites, may also cause allergic reactions on Teddy's skin, leading to itching. Teddy can't resist scratching, which can damage his hair and skin, further exacerbating the problem of hair loss.

Health issues cannot be ignored. Some internal diseases, such as endocrine disorders, hypothyroidism, etc., can interfere with Teddy's normal metabolism, reflected in a large amount of hair loss. Skin parasitic infections, such as common fleas, ticks, etc., parasitize on Teddy's skin, feeding on blood and irritating the skin, causing unbearable itching and frequent scratching, resulting in a large amount of hair loss. There are also some immune system diseases that can affect the normal growth and shedding of hair.

When we discover that Teddy has lost a lot of hair, our hearts are filled with worry and heartache. This cute little guy should be accompanying us healthy and happy, but he may be experiencing physical discomfort due to hair loss. As owners, we need to carefully observe Teddy's daily performance, in addition to shedding hair, to see if there are any other abnormal symptoms, such as skin redness, itching, mental fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. These details may be key clues to finding the root cause of hair loss.

To improve the serious problem of Teddy shedding hair, we need to start from multiple aspects. In terms of diet, choose high-quality and nutritionally balanced dog food, and if necessary, supplement some pet specific nutrients such as lecithin, which helps nourish hair and reduce hair loss. Keep the living environment dry and clean, regularly clean the room, wash Teddy's bedding, and reduce the growth of bacteria and allergens. Regularly deworming Teddy both internally and externally to prevent parasitic infections. If you suspect that Teddy's hair loss is caused by illness, be sure to take him to a pet hospital for a comprehensive examination and professional treatment in a timely manner.

Every teddy bear is a little angel in our lives, bringing us endless joy with their pure companionship. When they face the serious problem of shedding hair, we need to take care of them with love and patience. By understanding the causes of hair loss and taking scientifically effective measures, we can help them restore their health and make their hair shine again. During this process, the emotional bond between us and Teddy will become even stronger, and we will spend more warm and wonderful times together. Let us cherish every moment spent with these lovely little creatures and guard their health and happiness with care.
