Hi

You could try evening primrose oil capsules, one a day, Ive found they're very good for these non specific skin problems.

Hope that helps

Does your dog have any bald patches?

When you say flakey...is it like really bad dandruff??

What do you feed and do you give any suppliments??

my daughters dog midnight run was diagnosed with an under active thyroid ,one of the main symtoms was flakey skin and hair loss

Sounds to me like a dietary problem,what do you feed him?

 

[mutley]

could be too much protein...

 

[simpson]

spray tee tree oil on bald patches ....when you`ve sorted the other problem out ....

you could try benzol benzoate that good stuff
