The results are reported of a search for evidence of mass loss from three very hot, helium-rich degenerate stars, PG 1034 + 001, PG 1159 - 035, and KPD 0005 + 5106, based upon a search for weak, velocity-displaced line features in high-resolution IUE spectra. The search was entirely negative for PG 1159 - 035 and resulted in the detection of Si IV in PG 1034 + 001 at the same redshifted velocity as the other detected far-ultraviolet resonance doublets. The presence of photospheric silicon in a DO star at 80,000 K is not predicted by current radiative acceleration theory. For KPD 0005 + 5106 there is no convincing far-ultraviolet spectroscopic detection of either past or ongoing mass loss. The high-ionization resonance doublets of C IV, Si IV, and N v share the same velocity broadening as the interstellar lines but are velocity displaced by + 10 km/s relative to the local interstellar medium. Their origin is ascribed to an expanding, photoionized H II region around KPD 0005 + 5106.
