Post Clipping Alopecia
A temporary failure of hair to regrow after shaving or clipping, commonly observed in certain double-coated breeds.
Key Facts
- It occurs when hair follicles enter a prolonged telogen phase after trauma from clipping.
- Breeds like Akitas, Chow Chows, and Siberian Huskies are particularly susceptible.
- Hair regrowth can take several months to over a year to complete.
- Prevention involves avoiding full-body shaving unless medically necessary.
