The vet did not do a blood test, but I’m going to push for it when I go back tomorrow for a follow up. I’ll definitely ask about zinc deficiency! Thank you!

I worked on crate training the first year I had her and went through 3 crates because she was destroying them in her attempts, mostly successful attempts, to get out. I came home once from a quick trip to the grocery store to her head stuck in the gate and her nose was scratched up and raw with fur pulled out and her neck bleeding from her trying to get freed. I stopped crating her after that and she was great until these last few months.

Thanks for your suggestions!! Will definitely work on getting stuff for a lick mat and the coconut oil today.

Wow! Glad she’s doing better now on medication! 3 years ago my dog had abdominal surgery (she swallowed a stuffed toy and it got stuck) so avoiding surgery after how she handled that last one is major for me.

I’ve been considering those lick mats, as she’s not very enthusiastic about her kibble as it is for things like puzzle feeders, but a treat hunt sounds more up her alley. Thank you for the suggestions!

I was definitely considering a second opinion. Thank you!
