A Husky will typically shed or "blow" the undercoat twice a year. The shedding you are seeing is likely normal if you are going through a change of seasons. Brush her daily to prevent matting. There is nothing you can do to make the coat grow faster. A fish oil supplement may promote healthier skin and coat.

You can certainly take her to the vet for a check-up if you're concerned, but what you're describing sounds completely normal for a husky :) They do have very thick undercoats, and at certain times of the year it comes out in huge tufts and handfuls every single day when you pet them or brush them. As long as you are not seeing bald spots, crusty areas, a rash, or other signs of skin disease, this is likely just normal shedding for a double-coated breed. Hang in there, and keep brushing!
