If your dog was taking it with no problems, IMHO I would continue, but do check with your vet. Or do you think the CO brought on the Pancreatitis? My male had two episodes of Pancreatitis years ago, before I started the coconut oil, and he's had no problems since.

I know alot of people that use Tresaderm and it works just fine... I just can't seem to get it to work for me and mine. Tresaderm does have to be kept refrigerated though. Regular coconut oil does not have to be refrigerated, check the label on yours.
I've never heard of putting coconut oil in their ears. What does that do? Do you use it like a cleanser, or in addition to an ear cleanser?
