What kind of food do you feed your dog? I suggest Blue Buffalo dog food. It is available at Petsmart. It has the highest possible nutritional formula and is human grade!
Sounds like your dog has a nutritional deficiency, from being pregnant.

What type of food are you feeding her? If you are feeding her a low quality dog food, she may have an allergy to it due to all the fillers. If you aren't already, I suggest feeding her Innova. It's human grade and has all of the proper nutrients she needs. Also, how many times a year are you bathing her? If you bathe her more than 4-5 times per year MAXIMUM, that can cause her to lose fur and her skin to become irritant.
It's possible that while she was pregnant, she had a nutritional deficiency due to being pregnant and not getting the right vitamins. Just see a vet. He has better advice than any of us can give you.

take her to the vet!!!! He may tell u its lacking vitamins or getting to much. My sister's cat did the same and she had 5 kittens none lived. Strange. We found out we were giving her vitamins that she didn't need. The vet is ur best bet. Don't wait around it may be carrying a disease that u may not want.

That happens to rabbits. I'm thinking it's her blood line. She also may have some shedding going on.
If you're lucky her fur will grow back.

It means she is not getting enough vitamins. Check with your vet and add supplements to her food.
