We used to have an older dog with some type of skin condition. Nothing seemed to work until we started giving her a Vitamin E pill every day. I don't remember the dosage - 400 IU should be fine. We'd stick it in a bite-size piece of hotdog - she'd swallow it whole. Within a month her coat was beautiful and the skin condition cleared. You would need to continue it as a daily supplement even after the condition clears up.
