coconut oil and fish oil both I've thought about. How much is appropriate? Every time we get her past 3.88 pounds, it goes right back, so her weight is always a concern with any medication or fats that I give her. I'm more than willing to, though.
I hope she does, she's absolutely miserable. The antihistamine therapy is working a little bit, and I'll take that over none. She's not coughing or doing sneezing- inverted or not, and her eyes water much much less. The itching continues. Not as bad, but bad enough. We had a mosquito invasion when my daughter set fire to the microwave, as there was a hole in the kitchen screen, but her crate was completely covered so I doubt that made it suddenly worse than usual at end of June.
As far as supplements which brand is the best? I need to have her on those as well. I'm desperate. I was told to stop fighting her on the boiled potatoes/rice/barley with beef/turkey preference, so I've added plain yogurt or cottage cheese to it, or cabbage or carrots, or celery. I give her bits of blue berries and cucumbers, too. I worry that she isn't getting enough vitamins. Vet has been told to call me about this, but no phone call as of yet.
