I PROMISE IFYOU DO THESE 2 THINGS your itching dog will heal. darcy --- On Tue, 8/3/10, OKreationZ <[email protected]> wrote: >From: OKreationZ <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Bella, POM-Dry skin under very heavy thick coat >To: [email protected] >Date: Tuesday, August 3, 2010, 1:19 PM > > > >A friend on another list has recently suggested 1 tsp cod liver oil or one >gel >cap of cod liver oil per day per dog..
