Peanut Oil

My miniature pinscher is losing a lot of hair on her back and there are large flakes of skin coming off. She doesn't seem to be that irritated by it, a bit of scratching and there doesn't seem to be any open wounds on her back. It's really worrying me because her once fur covered body is now half white from missing fur. I'm taking her to the vet on sunday to get it checked out, but thought maybe someone had similar experiences.
I was told by a Dobe breeder 30 years ago to put a tablespoon of Peanut Oil on my dogs' food. They LOVE peanut oil, so if anyone has reluctant eater, it will sure encourage them to eat.
Also, with only one dog, you could put him on 100 units of vitamin E per day. Talk about good skin and patent leather coat!!!!! Oh heavens......I am assuming all here know what that is, rofl.
As far as thyroid goes, it seems that something like 90% of dogs have low thyroid. But generally not significant enough to be a problem for most doggers.
Oh yes......also some folks rinse their dogs with Alpha Kerri mixed with lots of water. You can also put it into a spray bottle, and spritz it onto the flakey areas.
Nothing suggested here is meant to start a brue ha-ha. I only SUGGEST!!!
