My Sheltie is taking Thyroid meds, losing hair and has terribly dry skin. Any home remedies out ther

You may first want to have his/her thyroid level checked. Make sure that you are giving the proper amount. (it can change over time)

The product "Missing Link" is EXCELLENT and will help with the dry skin, and also EFA or Omega Fatty Acid capsules (available at Pharmacy)

Make sure he/she is on a high quality food, too.

Thyroid can be hard to maintain, but with a little time these problems should resolve with supplements.

I hope I have helped.

As the others said, sounds like the Thyroid meds aren't working. It may be a good idea to discuss this with your vet.

In terms of dry skin/coat, there are a number of supplements you can add to his food. Missing Link is a good one, although you can go to the drug store and get Vitamin E and Fish Oil capsules and add these to his food, as well (we use 1 capsule daily). Anything that will add Omega Fatty Acids will help.

Good luck!
