I sent the question about my dog, Madchen, who has a chronic problem with
ear infections, etc. I bought the VCO and she likes it, but I need to know
how much to give her. Madchen is part yellow lab and beagle. She has no
problem with hair in her ears. As far a diet, for two years she has been on
expensive supplements and I've been rotating the raw meat, lamb, turkey,
beef. I started keeping track of her symptoms and what her raw diet was at
the time. As I look back on my records it is confusing. If she has an
allergy to one of the meats, would the symptom come immediately, or would it
appear a few days or week or two later. With people I know it can show up
as late as two weeks after eating something. I've rotating foods every week.
Perhaps I should rotate every month?
What I'm trying on Madchen's ear currently is Frankincense with coconut oil
then geranium on top. Is that what is known as "layering?"
Again, I would appreciate any suggestions,
Thanks,
Birdlover

My apologies, VCO stands for Virgin Coconut Oil. You can buy it at
health food stores.
