I hate her dry itchy skin. She is just a flakey girlie!!

I just thought maybe a conditioner might help calm her skin anf stop the flaking.
Have you tried the Epi-Soothe by Virbac? That is a decent product. I'm not crazy about the conditioner though on my long coated dog. I've also used the John Paul oatmeal shampoo and conditioner and like it.

I don't blame you for being nervous with fish oils with a dog with pancreatitis but if your vet said it was ok then he/she is ok w/ it.
