Hi Kim,
Thanks for checking in. I had reduced the amount of fish oil that Amber was getting after reading that SLO restrospective & not long after that the licking started up again so regardless if it might be a coincidence I'm upping it again. She's still on the doxy & we've run out of niacinamide so I need to track down more (I have the hardest time finding that stuff). So currently it doesn't look like I'm doing anything that's an improvement

.
She's down to 3 remaining "original" nails and they still appear to be sound but I haven't tried to keep them too short. The big goof has these giant cat paws now without the nails on them, I'm afraid she's going to need grippy socks to get around on the ice!
Very interesting about the food. I don't want to mess with Amber's food since it took us awhile to find something that agreed with her (Canidae). We're back to the vet this weekend for her annual check up & I'll see what he has to say about stuff. Otherwise she's her usual self. But I'm very curious about how your boy does once he's back on the Cal Natural puppy.
