This is a testimonial that I read about the benefits of coconut oil.I found it at:Success Stories-Coconut Research Center

QUOTE "About a week after we moved in to our new home, our eight-year old dog, Davis got deathly ill. We actually thought he may have broken his back on the stairs. He could not walk and had to be carried everywhere. The vet was certain that he had hurt his back as well, but on the second day, he started having blisters on his feet and on the back of his body. When he stood up on his feet, they would just bleed. (Just lovely in the new house!!!) After inconclusive tests, as well as even a spinal tap, they decided to call it an immune disease. Still not sure quite the diagnosis, but he was on death's bed. After $1500 in tests and medications, the vet still was unsure of prognosis and suggested to put him out of his misery. Davis was still unable to walk, but now unable to open one eye and had large half-dollar size lesions all over his back and hind legs.
After making the appt. on Friday, to put him to sleep on Monday, I decided to try one last thing over the weekend. I read on the net about coconut oil being good for dog's immune system. Desperately I tried it, and miraculously about four hours after his first dose, he got up and walked. Within a day, his feet stopped bleeding and he was once again walking over to the food bowl! I am convinced and just amazed! Funny how after $1500 of tests and meds from the vet, a $15 jar of coconut oil healed him!!! It has now been two weeks and he is back to normal.

I have recently been using the extra virgin oil from-- Tropicaltraditions.com-- and after my shower I have rubbed it on my feet and calves and my yorkies can't wait to lick it off.

If anyone has used it for their furbabies ills I'd appreciate hearing about the results.
