what has your vet said about the hair loss?

There is seasonal alopecia , where the hair falls out and then will regrow on it's own . usually the same thing will happen again .

Thyroid problems show up many times as hair loss too , usually along the flanks ( sides ) . This can be checked by a blood test by your vet . And can be treated with meds .

And of course mange can cause hair loss , this needs to be tsted for by your vet as well . it is done by a skin scraping and checked for the mites under a microscope .

Instead of supplimenting with something that will most likely not work I would get her to the vet and have them look at her .
