But, I think she might like the fish - she used to love salmon and tuna when she could eat it. I'm not sure if her IBD would be activated.

Speaking of IBD, have you heard about EV coconut oil as beneficial for IBD dogs? I use coconut oil myself so have been giving her 1/4 tsp in her L/D.
Yes, it is a bit high for an MVD dog but the recipe was created for Ellie and she is basically asymptomatic. It is made iwth fish oil and sweet potato because she has IBD/SIBO.

I have heard some good things about coconut oil but have never looked into it.
