This week’s feel good attempt for my dog involves coconut oil. Because kidney disease causes extreme dry skin, I dab his stomach and private area with coconut oil-soaked- cotton balls and it works like a charm. He recently started developing gum issues - so I tried giving him some edible ones to drink and he licked it off my palms. He has been doing this every night this week, abt 3 teaspoons, and his gums are much better. He had some throat irritation and that’s gone. Every night I hear his stomach churning and that’s stopped too in recent days. This boy is feeling much much better, still weak from lack of red blood cells which is also a side effect of kidney problems to which he takes folic acid, but as of now he is a happy boy, out sunning his balls and just chilling!
Keep those kidneys well. One too many problems when they get messed up!
