Ask your vet about a medicine called Atopica. A friend of mine told me it was a miracle for her dog after many years of scratching, licking and hair loss. I told someone with a Westie about it, here in The Villages and she was amazed at the result - her dog became a normal happy dog and his coat came back. She told me he stopped all the scratching and was able to sit and relax with them on the couch again. It might be a powder or pill you put in the food and you have to get it through the vet. This was several years ago, so the vet would know about its effectiveness and side effects. I am only relaying the experience of two people I know who obtained this through their vet.
