We also used Missing Link before, no luck there.
CO is a medium chain fatty acid, fish oil is a long chain fatty acid. They are used and break down differently in the body, so adding fish oil is not duplicating what she's getting with the CO.

I had mine on both for about a year or two, I used a high quality Alaskan Salmon oil, and started with a small amount then gradully increased it to the recommended amount over two weeks or so. I've been considering adding it back into their diets again, at least for the winter here.
