Cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil and Tanuki
-
- I GAVE, dammit!
Hydrogenated coconut oil is satured and bad. This stuff is non-hydrogenated so supposedly very healthy.
I'll call my vet tomorrow, and if I can an appointment Tuesday, I'll go then. I have some transportation issues the rest of the week, so if not Tuesday, I hope waiting until next Monday is okay. It doesn't seem to itch or bother him at all.
I want to get him neutered soon, so a vet visit is in order anyway. After he attacked Costanza I don't trust him with boars, so I think it's his only chance at having a friend.

OK, y'all need an Almond Joy break. Coconut, chocolate, almonds? Hmmm?
It's kinda funny that you referred to him as a hippo Holly. Isn't it Sari?

Tanuki is a cutie. I've joked with my husband that I would love a hairless because it would be the closest thing to a baby hippo in my lap.
The local WalMart has coconut oil, but it isn't the organic extra virgin. It can be used like shortening in cooking. I store mine at room temperature.

I guess it works for growing hair.

- Who's your Branni?
Get rid of fungus!!
Yea - hydrogenization and heating of the oil is what makes it crappy for people.
And now you know all the good it can do you too!! Little for Tanuki, little for mama's feetz!
It can be used like shortening, it has a higher smoking temperature than some other oils, but it turns into not great for you then.

Ok, I called the vet and I have an appointment at 11am tomorrow.
I scheduled the appointment to have a look at his nose, and also to ask questions to see if I want this vet to neuter Tanuki. So I've read the Cavy Spirit page on neutering, and plan to print it out and ask all the questions suggested, but is there else anything I should know or ask about? I don't have a clue about this vet's surgical skills, so anything to help figure out if I should trust this vet will help.
Oh and should I mention the coconut oil? Or just ask for Program? 'm assuming Program is available in Canada?
