my 7 year old, pearl, has only had one short term issue with dry,bald spots on her side a few years ago. otherwise, her skin is very healthy. the last few days i've noticed flakes on her back & when i brush them off, there's more. i looked closer at her skin & it's really dry & flaky. it's not red & doesn't seem too itchy, though. any suggestions on what to bath her in or put on her to get rid of the flakes & dryness? thanks in advance for any help!

Here's a potion I use...
I got this from an English Mastiff breeder (we have two mastiffs and two bullies)for dull, dry coats. I also give it to my bullies with fantastic results.
It's called Owen's Coat Potion:
18 (400 I.U.) vitamin E gel caps
15 (360 mg) Fish Oil capsules
12 (240 mg) Borage seed oil
Safflower oil
Puncture the caps and squirt into a bottle. Fill bottle to the 200 ml mark. Mix well. Dosage = 1.5 ml per 40 pounds at every meal. In the summer (if it ever gets here) I will cut to 1/2 dose.
I got everything, including bottle with ml marks on it and syringe, at Walmart.
I've had really great results with this potion on both my mastiffs and my bullies. They are all much softer and shinier (Sophie-our 3 yr old bullie just developed allergies this year. She had balding spots on her sides. I believe this is helping to keep those spots hydrated and the fur is growing back.)
Good luck!

Yes we give human
every other day or so. I believe it's a 500mg pill. It's great for their skin/coat and heart. =)
