LuvTaycieGirl, you're very welcome! Back to your original question on coconut oil, I've been giving it to my 2 Yorkies and kittys for over 5 years and none of them have developed hyperlipidemia. One of my Yorkies, Violet had allergies and was on Prednisone. I thought she would have to be on prednisone forever, but after giving her coconut oil, she has been off pred for years now. I have heard many first-hand stories on how it has helped hypothyroid dogs, IBD, colitis dogs, etc. You can read some compelling testimonials about how coconut oil has help their dogs:
