oh, Lorraine, it's only 21! I haven't snuck in 5 new ones without telling anyone!![]()
Have you tried giving her a zinc supplement? Huskies are prone to a condition called zinc responsive dermatosis. It has some similar symptoms to what you are describing, although your dog's sound extreme. Human zinc pills from the drug store will work. I give Muskwa 75mg a day, 100 when he is working. It takes several weeks of consistent dosing to kick in and change the symptoms.
There is also a product call ZinPro that you can sprinkle on their food. I use that for my other sled dogs even though they don't have a zinc problem. Zinc is important in maintaining the health of a sled dogs' paws! http://www.dogfooddirect.com/Zinpro.htm
That site has some more info on ZinPro. I've fed the biscuits too--tasty treats apparently. My dogs love 'em!
Good luck.
