Fish Oil and Vitamin E??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tinker'sMommy · 11-09-2007, 08:48 PM

Can someone please help me understand how to give these to my baby

Tinkerbell's skin gets very dry during the winter and she scratches so hard that she almost makes her skin bleed

Do you feed her the oil or use it on their coats??

and what about the vitamin E? feed or use it or the coat??

Sorry I am confused

Also is there a specific brand??

I give Lady 3V caps for small dogs. They are the same fish oil as in human capsules, but in the proper dosage for small dogs. I just put it on top of her food and she gobbles it up.

I've never found it in stores. Your vet may carry it, but they mark things up so much. I get it from online places like Entirely Pets, Revival, etc.

if you want a liquid to put on their food many people here use grizzly salmon oil. i use one made by Bravo! or you can just buy salmon oil capsules at your local vitamin shop along with vit e.

I use Eicosaderm by Dermapet. I think you can only get it through a vet's office. www.dermapet.com is the website for their products. It's a fish oil/vitamin E. supplement - comes in a capsule form or a pump bottle. I just pump some out on her food every morning.

OOOH! Found it on VetAmerica - $29.99 for 32 oz. - I got some. I couldn't any other fish/salmon oil that came WITH the needed vitamin E. Is the 10 IU enough vitamin E (in other words, I assume this is the extra amount of E that is utilized by the body's processing of the EFAs???)
