Add vitamin E and fish oil to the diet

Has your dog been checked for thyroid and cushings?

Try taking ur dog off the dog food for atleast a week and feed only boiled chicken and potato.

Is the hair loss with/without a lot of scratching?

Do you bathe your dog often? If you do, this is part of the problem. Dogs don't need nearly as much bathing as people give them, it removes the oils their skin and coat need.

Also, it may be environmental depending on what you use on your floor/carpet to clean and if you take your dog to areas that use pesticides and fertilizers on the grass.

What is the name of the cream and antibiotics the vet gives? Why does the vet give antibiotics and what was the vets diagnosis?
