Worms and thyroid are also my top tow rule-outs.
Logan also has a pretty crappy coat right now because he's shedding.

It was sudden, I dewormed her yesterday, if things don't improve in the next week or 2 I'll take her to the vet... She is shedding right now but she's NEVER gotten this bad of a coat from shedding and all the other dogs are shedding and are still looking good.
OK one more question - in general how quickly do you expect to see a difference in a dog when changing food and/or adding supplements? Thank you for all your help guys!

If it was worms, a single deworming dose might not be enough, nor might it get the particular worm in question. It took 3 rounds to get rid of Sports tape worm (hence me calling it persistent)
When we finally killed it the change happened in a week! Never had coat issues caused by bad food or not enough what ever in the diet so can't say how long that would take. |

^^ What Kerri said. We also had to give Emme a couple of doses, but as soon as the worms were killed there was an instant change.

OK good to know, having never had a dog with worms other than puppy round worms, how will I know if the treatments are working/that i should continue treatments? I check her stools daily as is and haven't seen any worms in them prior to treatment.

Most worms are not visible to the naked eye. You need to bring a stool sample to the vet.
