Re: [GinsengPeke] Why does my dog have a fluffy coat after she was spayed?

Your b*tch has a "spay coat." And yes, it does so with most long haired, double coated dogs. In many cases, spaying causes a more profuse, abundant coat, sometimes to the point of being outrageously overdone. There is no shine to it, the hair is very light & it gets tangled easily.

What causes it? Hormones. That's why I was reluctant to spay my GR. Previously she had the CORRECT GR coat but now, she is 5x fluffier (makes her look fat) & sheds like hell EVERY single day! It's a nightmare.

Here are some 'before' & 'after' spaying pictures of my friends' dogs in the US...

This is Gabby the Basset Hound (long coated) Before Spay:

After Spay:

Now she's just got a bigger coat & a huge plume on her tail.

Kharma the Gordon Setter Before Spay:

After Spay:

Her coat is so fine like a Shih Tzu's. Her owner can groom & groom & get the tangles out & within an hour she'll have another one starting. That's why nowadays she has her clipped.

To minimize the shedding, try brushing her everyday for atleast 10 min long OR order a 'Furminator' on Ebay. I heard that it is very good at removing loose & dead fur.

Hope I helped.
