oh how i wish i knew... i feel like i'm reading my own post here... same story for us... doing everything i can... i have no idea what the weather is like in Alabama but i think it is just SO dry here... i try lotion on her belly.. Aveno Baby Oatmeal lotion.. her tummy is so dry i can see the cracks in her skin... i have NO idea what else to do... i've tried oatmeal baths.. they don't do much.. just make her fur really soft! she probably has more omega 3 fats in her than any dog i know... i'm at a loss.. this will be our first full summer with her so i'm HOPING the change in weather helps.. otherwise... geez.. i might have to shave her bald and moisturize like crazy
