Hi Teresa,
I am glad to hear that she is doing well on the medication. The type of hair loss that you are describing can be seasonal hair loss. Often the undercoat will be the only thing to shed and it can look like what you are describing. If the shedding continues for more than 2 weeks or if you notice any other signs like balding areas, a rash, or itchiness I recommend that you take her back into see your vet. They can examine her and let you know if it is anything to be concerned about.
