this is the study i posted on the link in my post as this was the issue as well as the red blood cell count increased but someone said that was done a long time and the coconut oil was processed differently back then vs now but i still stopped giving internally and only use as a topical for hot spots and it is a miracle as it heals dd up fast and some use it on a cotton ball and rub lightly inside of ears and it works for ear issues as it is a natural antibacterial and antifungal. Honey is a natura antibiotic and lemon is a natural astringent. I prefer to go as natural as possible as my dd has horrible allergies and chemicals do her in

I would not recommend giving your dog coconut oil - there's still a lot of controversy about it. Here's an MSN article which mentions some of the issues surrounding coconut oil use in humans.

I haven't read any recent studies, but studies done decades ago on canines in which coconut oil was given to dogs, they developed coronary artery disease just like people.
