That's what we thought but as she has no ovaries we thought it strange.

I discussed this with my vet for the only bitch we had spayed that wasn't done as an emergency Pymetra proceedure. She pointed out the pitfall of the dog still having seasons ,as you have done.I felt it wasn't worth still having all the problems that seasons bring for the sake of a sleek coat.<br />
Oddly enough Ellie(who had Pymetra) and whose coat is like a wooly sheep,has stared to become sleeker since Arthur the puppy arrived.Strange but true!

I've found that fish oils help to keep the coat glossy in neutered males but no idea if it works on bitches as they tend to go woollier. A breeder in the U.K. that I once knew was going to try having a bitch only partially neutered [no I don't know] to see if the coat could be saved but the bitch would still be unable to breed. Never heard any more so no idea if it worked. Any one heard of this and the results?

Hi Cassie & Barbara, The thyroid levels are normal which is a relief. She has just had a huge moult so hopefully the new coat will be better. Thanks for your suggestion anyway

My 3 year old (unspayed) bitch's top coat has gone wiry & flicks up when she gets damp, it has been a problem for most of this year. She used to have a lovely silky coat & we have tried adding sardines and other fish oils, Doreen Paige Vita oil to her food not much improvement. We are now trying Royal Canin Skin Support food as my vet thought this may help.<br />
