I think your best option is to have Rubby examined by the veterinarian. Dry skin can be a sign of parasites, inappropriate diet or endocrine disease. At home you can try giving her an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for pets but it may not correct the underlying cause. This can however improve over all skin health. There are two brands of food, Royal Canin and Nutro, which are aimed at skin health and they may help as well but again, they may not affect the underlying problem. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by rude behavior. Please try reposting with what is happening. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
