Has the vet recommended any kind of malt paste which is supposed to help them bring the fur up?
I have used Katalax before:

Katalax: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

I don't really know of any other remedy, other than frequent brushing which you are already doing.
Or is there anything you could do in terms of diet?
I hope more knowledgeable members may be able to suggest something.

Bella has had Katalax before, our vet suggested she have a one dose a day, and also looking into anti furball kibbles from hills, but finding out first if it is suitable to mix with ZD, some one also suggested putting a bit of oil into her feed as well....
