I contacted nordic naturals to make sure they had vitamin E in the omega-3 and they confirmed they do have vitamin E in it but never hurts to double check with them as things are constantly changing.
Ibd dogs are very prone to pancreatitis especially if the ibd is in the small intestines which I believe Ava has as she vomits not so much diarrhea. Vomitting is small intestines, diarrhea is large intestine and vomitting and diarrhea is the entire intestinal tract. If the fatty acid goes wrong then it can trigger pancreatitis in an ibd dog - I personally would not risk it with an ibd or pancreatitis dog. |
what about amino acids; like glutamine (sometimes they add it in the food)
and zinc-carnosine (which is in gastri-smooth) to promote healing of the GI track.
has anyone here used it or heard of it.
thanks
