It sounds like her low protein diet is lacking in various nutriments. When Charlie (10 yo. rescue) came to live with me in April, his coat was thin and dry. The vet recommended Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil once daily (1/4 tsp), and the results is wonderful. His hair has grown back, and shiny. Also, Charlie also had thyroid deficiency, and takes a 1/2 tablet Soloxine 2xday. The deficiency is tested via a blood draw for thyroid.
Good luck and your pup shouldn't be shedding. Many people adopt a Yorkie for that reason, no shedding. Warmly, Deborah |
