yeah I know how you feel. Dex has been fine for 4 years and dd is my challenge so i know how you feel as dealing with dex for a year was horrible so i am so thankful for every day that goes by with no issues.
Years ago 6 mos prior to him getting sick I rotated one day dermacaps, one day flaxseed oil, one day fish oil. This was before i knew anything and yep I tried everything I had an animal communicator come to the home and she said what are you putting on the food as it is making dex sick to his tummy and she said he is vomitting once in a while and i found vomit but not all the time but did not catch who was doing it and she said it is Dexter so I stopped immediately and 6 mos later he had full blown pancreatitis. Now how freaky is that - she picked up on his issues 6 mos prior when she was at my home. I was always skeptical of that stuff but yep I will try anything for Dee Dee so I had her come out for Dee Dee but she did all dogs and that is what she said with dex. After that I never used fatty acids except for coconut oil for Dee Dee. It really did not seem to help dd back then though and she is allergic to flaxseed so probably why she was not better
I also had her on cod liver oil before per holistic vet back when this itching all started which is a huge no no for mvd dogs but she was fine so she did fine with cod liver and on raw diet and has mvd. I was pretty lucky I guess lolll as she has never showed signs of liver disease just showed up in blood work.
