  Lucy was spayed on July 9th at 18 months old. In the past week she has started to completely blow her coat. I’m having issues uploading photos of her. After I’ve brushed her daily (3 or more times), her back is mostly stripped with a dark undercoating. She’s eating normally, in fact she’s been bossier about her vegetables whenever she hears me in the fridge. Pooples are normal, but I’ve found uneaten cecotropes here and there.

  I would say this is completely normal in response to her de-sexing. It doesn’t happen with all de-sexings though. I experienced the same thing with my Bam a couple of months after his neuter and with my bridge dog after her spay. Bam’s fur then became normal again but for a while he looked like the most un-cared-for pet in the world =/ But fortunately, he’s not moulted in that crazy way ever again. It took a longer time for my girl dog to get her normal coat back, but she did eventually.
  
  It’s not uncommon for desexed animals to get a bigger appetite. Again, this is not at all true for all. It’s ok as long as she doesn’t get fat. Veggies are unlikely to make her fat though.
  
  Uneaten cecals signify a too rich diet. Maybe cut back a little on pellets and/or treats?
