I have a 1 yr.old pom mix never shed before until I had her spayed, brought her home from the vet she started excessive shedding, I feed her Iams, now I just put her on omega 3 supplement. Is there any other reason she could be loosing large amounts of hair

Hormonal changes can cause excess shedding. This should change once the hormone levels settle usually takes @ a months to 6 weeks.
Also the food you are feeding isn't a good quality. It contains too much cheap fillers. Corn can cause skin/coat issues.

Anesthetic can contribute to hair loss in dogs just like in people. Brush her often, keep on the omega 3 supplements, and this will pass.

She could be allergic to something in her food. Iams has chicken fat in all their foods, even lamb and rice. Most all dog foods have chicken in them-I have 2 dogs allergic to it.
Food allergies is becoming a very big problem in dogs. There are many allergens, chicken is often overlooked.
