We've been using coconut oil with the girls for over two years. We began using it when Sissy was diagnosed with PLE as it has wonderful digestive healing properties as well. I use about 1/8 tsp per girl per day if I'm using the oil, or I use the ground up chips on their food.
The products sold by CocoTherapy are far superior to any other organic I was able to get at the health food store. The chips they sell are not the same as buying coconut chips at the store, so if that is what was used and came out looking like it went in, you should try the CocoTherapy chips.
Coconut oil does not digest the same was as an Omega fatty acid. I know of many with pancreatitis that have successfully used coconut oil.
I also use the oil in addition to their conditioner. I melt it, mix it together in my hand then rinse as normal. It has made such a huge difference in the condition of their coats!
As you might tell, I am a huge fan!!!!
