Question about Coconut oil

[GunnyHighway]

When I look up coconut oil online it looks like it comes in a jar which makes me think that it is like a paste. Is that so? I was expecting an oil like salmon oil.

Thank you! Does that mean I should heat it up to make it liquid?

I am feeding the bland diet right now, beef and white rice, and adding probiotics and salmon oil. Because of allergies. Can I substitute coconut oil for salmon oil? Or should I be giving both?

Really its which ever your baby tolerates the best Sheldon does well with both but I really like the coconut oil because he has less stinky gas and he LOVES his new food and he loves it even more with the coconut oil on it every morning!

We rub it on Harlea's belly when she gets a rash from the grass and we put it on her gums when she pulled a tooth out a few weeks ago and it helped it heal nicely. Also, for less mess we made a little plate of coconut oil droplets and put them in teh fridge and we just give her one of those a day as it is a solid below 76 degrees and a liquid above it.

I was just going to ask that Todd. I recently got some from Amazon and it was solid. I was wondering if it was bad or something.

Well i put some on chesty's coat, he loved it...only because he loves puppy massages!! i used to give him massages without the coconut oil so using the oil this time made no difference to him..but i did stick a teaspoon on his food /: oops hopefully he don't get the through out the night!!!

I use coconut oil on a Brie's nose and pads weekly or more if they are dry. I use it on her coat weekly as well. I don't put it in her food anymore as we use salmon oil in food. the vet said I need to be careful about her losing her curves...she loves it tho!

I have a stupid question..how do you get it on the coat? Rub it in your hands and massage it in? You use like a teaspoonful?

I have used it on spots but I have never used it on his coat I too would like to know how to do this do you mix it with lotion....or rub it straight on the coat?
