Thanks Bluegirl. We already keep Charlie on a low fat diet due to a pancreatic issue a few years ago and his weight is already on the lower side due to his back issues and spinal surgery. Normally Charlie and his dad would spend a couple of hours 3 times a week finding golf balls on the golf course in addition to his normal walks, which is more strenuous for him than a normal walk. That is stopped till we see how he will react to the meds. I will look at the honey, rosemary remedies for him.
