Answer
Hi Ralph - Let's get her on some special oils and suplements:
Get some Pure salmon oil for her diet.  You will give 1 tabelspoon per day on top of the dry food...
Here is a link for Salmon oils -

Next - Let's also try NuVET Plus - this is a special skin / coat supplement only found in VET offices or Groomers... YOU can go to the ON-line store and get NuVET Plus in 3 days...  If you buy thru the VET is will cost more... GET direct from the Manufacturer...
Cost is only about .50 cents per day

Also, I would look for an oatmeal shampoo and oatmeal cream rinse.  Give her a bath every 3-4 weeks with this special shampoo for dry skin.  If you don't want to give the bath yourself, you can visit a groomer and bring your own shampoo for them to use.  Just say you want a good bath for your big kid.
NuVEt Plus has some great special needs shampoos..
