Hi, Oil of evening primrose, either capsule straight down throat of drizzled over food, improves skin and coat, malaseb is crap, my dog had that and it didnt do anything. try bathing in mild baby shampoo too.

DermCaps available from your vet or some onlinr stores, sounds like poochy has a skin irritation, have you checked for fleas and mites. It may well be just dry skin in which case the Dermcaps will help, also try looking at the shampoo you use to bath poochy, it might be irritating her skin.
If you suspect fleas, are or were the problem remember to rebath your dog a week later to kill off all the eggs that have now hatched.
Also try to buy a good quality dog food that contains fatty acids and ammino acids and garlic that are a balanced diet all are essential for a healthy dog. I would suggest Purina or Iams in the UK, Nutro if you're in the USA.

My dog is exactly the same choc lab/newfoundland his hair comes out in buckets full. The itching is the downey coat underneath i have been giving him moult ease which seems to slow the moulting down and seems to stop him scratting as much.

Fatty oil supplements help my dog this time of year. He has allergies. Ask your vet for EFA Caps.

caster oil in her food and some sort of mild baby oil on her coat we do it on baby's for cradle cap so i think it would work for the sensitive skin of a dog

Sounds like hot spots -- try cortisone tabs. The shots are hard on their hearts.
