Thank you for posting this, I will defiently ask my vet about that. I really feel like there has got to be somethign causing this since she sheds so bad and its only getting worse. She also keeps putting on a lot of weight despite being on weight control food and a diet and Im wondering if this could also be a sign of thyroid problems.
