I agree 100% about foods taking time to work...I am guessing its a food or environmental allergy. I personally would put her on a fish based food. Innova EVO has a new Herring and Salmon formula that looks EXCELLENT http://www.evopet.com/products/default.asp?id=1699 this is an expensive product but I think worth it..natura has some excellent products! I would also put her on fish oil tabs...but you are looking for atleast a month to see the results.
