My Golden Retriever is 1.5 yrs old. He lost his fur in the back and tail recently, and vet suggested it might be bacterial infection. For a week we gave anti-bacterial medication and looks like the shedding slowed down.
Now his tail looks like a Labrador. Will it grow back to golden style?
Often if a dog gets shaved for surgery or something like that, the hair won't grow back until the next "shedding cycle" (I'm sure there is a more scientific word for that). I think this is only for dogs like retrievers that have fur, compared to something such as poodle that has to get hair cuts all the time. I would be patient and I am hopeful it will grow back for your pup!
