It may be something that you will have to take up with the vet. Also, it may require blood tests in order to determine the exact cause of the heredity problem.
I think I should definately go to the vet and see if they can help me out. Previously, her vet recommended Beiwers Yeast because she said her skin was dry. I think i'll put her back on those and see what happens.

I really appreciate the help of everyone!
