skycat 6,174 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Is it dry skin? Or an allergy: I've had to put 2 of mine on Piriton cos of a grass seed allergy. If it is dry skin get some animal fat into her: before I got all my dogs on 100% raw meat and bones several of them used to have dry coat and skin: not any more. If you can't get animal fat such as breast of lamb, beef trimmings etc then get some Evening Primrose Oil into her: capsules from health food shops, or Cod Liver Oil: do not exceed half the stated adult does.
