My beautiful little Molly suffers terribly from skin issues. Is there a vet on this planet who actually knows anything, or even cares? I'm struggling hard to make her comfortable, just so she can have a little Quality of Life.

Diet! Some vets know, some care. Our westie rescue (WROC) has had a lot of success with pups that come in with skin issues. Sometimes they need different meds to get them over the hump and a change of diet. Mine are hugely allergic to corn, one is allergic to wheat and maybe chicken. I rotate food/kibble using only limited ingredient foods with no grains and I use some of the recipes found here. There's a lot of good tips on this page ;) http://westierescueoc.com/the_westie_diet
