Hello Kelly and Romeo: I wonder if he is just have some allergy issues and it will affect his digestion. Glad to see he is eating Wellness Formula Dog food, good job!
Here are a few supplements we can try for Romeo:
1. give him some Activia Yogurt - Must be this brand for his Digestion. It has some wonderful Probiotics in the Activia brand.
Give your boy 1/2 of the cup in the am and then 1/2 in the pm.
( if the cup is just 6 oz - split it up for 2 feedings per day)
Do this for a few weeks.
2. give him some NuVET Plus - 1 wafer treat per day / great for allergys - will strengthen the immune system , and helps digestion.
not sold in stores/ only thru Holistic VETS and Some breeders:
go her to the manufacturer: 1-800-474-7044 ( tell them pet Nurse Marie Peppers sent you from all experts)- code # 81098
or go to : http://www.nuvet.com/81098
*** a 2 month supply is 39.00 / ask them about the 15% off.....
3. Pure salmon oil - Please give you boy just 1/2 of a teaspoon for the first week and then build up to 1 full teaspoon per day.
Mix into the Wellness dog food.
Pure salmon oil can be found at many pet stores or on-line

As far as the fur loss / I am sure the NuVET will help with the regrowth. Allergies will do that to the fur.

THE SALMON OIL IS FINE, TOO.
