Oh so another thing I forgot to mention. The Dr also recommended fatty acid or fish oils. Do you think CO would be equal to that? Or should I go get some fish oil? Last time we tried Ark Naturals I think it was called. Smelled terrible. No one wanted to give Uni any kisses. Is there any brand that doesn't smell? Probably not huh? Any advice? We also used Missing Link before, no luck there.
People give fish oils and flax seed (Missing Link) to help nourish the hair. I really don’t think that’s Uni’s problem. The itching sounds like its causing hair breakage and loss, maybe even an autoimmune type of problem. I would think Coconut Oil would be very similar, but you can use that topically as well. Obviously, with hair loss you might want to do something to nourish the hair, but I just don't see that as the solution.

Have you watched Real Housewife’s of Beverly Hills? The little dog Giggy on the show had lost nearly all his hair on his body from some type of allergy, the itching is horrible for him, and she has access to some of the best vets in the world. His breeder said he should be put to sleep, and I guess his vet recommended Atopica. I don’t know if she’s having any success yet, but you might want to check it out. Check out this site. Pet owners - Atopica
