Fish oil seems to have that side effect. My vet recommended it because Teeka has been doing a lot of scratching. She has only been on it a few days so we'll see how it works for the itch! If nothing else it is a good supplement for the whole body. I hope this helps.  |
I will check into the flaxseed oil. Thanks! If you get a chance, I would be interested to see how it helps Teeka.

Thank you! Yes, that is very significant! I'm checking into the flaxseed oil.
