Ok, where are you all getting your Salmon Oil?? (Or flaxseed oil for that matter?) I looked for it (in Walmart, heh
) with all the other supplements, but all I could find was fish oil capsules. My kitty, Lily, had HORRIBLE dry, flaky skin so my vet advised puncturing the capsules and squirting over her food. I have 2 kitties, so I puncture one every day and squirt about half or so of it over the 2 bowls (and then throw the rest away). It has worked in just the week or so I've been doing that...much less dry skin!! AND it has worked as a "diet" too....she doesn't just binge and binge on food like she used to. Much not like it much, but it hasn't kept her from eating completely....she could stand to lose a pound or 2, so I'm not worried at all! Now, with Bella, maybe I should try the flaxseed oil instead so she'd be more likely to eat it? (Or I could just squirt the salmon oil in her mouth or add it to a treat like suggested....) And let me just reiterate....I'm supposed to be giving Vitamin E too?
How much salmon/flaxseed oil AND Vitamin E should Bella (3.8 lbs) and Lily (14 lbs--cat) be getting per day? I know you can't overdose on a lot of vitamins because what you don't need just gets flushed out, but I'm not sure if those work the same way....and I don't want to be giving them too much!
