My dog is nuring

Question
Good Morning,

 My Black Lab had 10 puppies 18 days ago, she is doing great all a great deal of her hair is falling out on her back legs and rump, because she is nursing I am not sure what I can give her to stop the hair loss. There are whole patches now were her hair is falling out. Any advice would be great. Also this is her first litter she is 2 years old.

Answer
Hi Margaret;
If she was not on a diet for pregnant females, the hair loss could be due to a vitamin deficiency. Maybe all her nutrients went to the puppies.
This could also be a serious mange, so a trip to your Vet is NECESSARY!!!!!
She needs to be seen so she can have a proper diagnoses.
If this is Sarcoptic Mange, she needs to begin treatment, and the puppies need shots before they catch it and you end up with thousands of dollars in veterinary bills,
