An interesting read, though when Jasper had the fluffy pulling issue, which was sudden, it was considered stress related not a medical issue. Both myself and her vet put it down to me colouring my hair, and Jasper became stressed by the sudden change, so suddenly plucking may not be a medical problem :)

I think 99% of the time, it is stress related. The strangest of things can make them start to pluck  :shrug:

Yes I agree Wendy, thankfully she is not nearly as bad. Her poor back was bare at the time  cry
