Thanks for posting that. That's what I was going to say, get her thyroid checked.
having basenjis, I am well aware of the signs)
There are many who feed the dogs the RAW diet. I don't, but I 'think' they supplement with a good all around multi vitamin for dogs

Also we changed their dog food to a lower fat content feed. So far Chili has lost 25 lbs. in 3 months. And her hair and skin have dramatically improved.
We supplement their diet with knuckle bones and marrow bones. Our vet says their teeth are in excellent shape little or no tartar build up.
