Another YT memeber told me she may have read that giving dogs human fish oil is a big no no. Has anyone heard this? Possibly it is a bad thing if you give the whole pill not the liquid inside??

While we were there he asked about having her spayed. She is 9 months and weighs 2.8lbs. I have heard the horror stories of little ones not coming back from surgery. Should I or should I not? There are benificial reasons but there are great risks too. I want to do what is best for her despite my fear!

About the Fish oil. We use to give that to our pekingese all the time. But we did NOT give the hole pill , we broke it and put the oil in his food and threw out the shell of the pill. It worked great for us and it made him have a wonderfull coat as well.

Good luck
