Thank you, Jodie. I plan on calling her tomorrow. I've been looking at some information on the net, and it appears it will be complicated to give Cocoa the type of diet that she needs. One place said that she needs about 43% fat in her diet with very low carbs. Said that it has been found that low-protein diets aren't good for EPIs. As skinny as Cocoa is getting I think it is imperative that I get help quickly.
