Lacey is shedding like crazy.  and its driving my crazy.  I vaccuum her and brush her and I got out a fine toothed comb today and combed her with it.  Wow...tons of hair comes off her.  I wish there was a remedy to stop the shedding.  Her skin is a little itchy too...I have her on NB duck and potato allergy formula and she doesnt get the rashes anymore.  I also checked her for fleas with a flea comb and there isnt any on her.  I havent bathed her in a long time so Im not sure why her skin is itchy.  Im wondering if the excess shedding has to do with the itchyness too.  Do you think fish oil would help?  I've been meaning to get some for her, but I just havent yet.  Also I thought maybe the flea meds are drying out her skin.  Any thoughts?
