Have you had Chloe to the vet? Does she have any other medical problems? It sounds to me like she isn't processing protein correctly.

I don't mean to scare you, but my first yorkie had a terrible dry coat all the time it was never shiney and healthy looking and she died at the age of 3. Something to do with her inability to process protein. That was many years ago and vet medicine has come a long way since then so maybe it can be corrected if it is actually that problem.

She had no other signs so I never had her to the vet until she started vomiting and getting thin.
