Furball was happy and purry this morning. I was hoping I'd see what she's doing on the new dose before I have to go back to work tomorrow, but it doesn't look like it. I hope she slides down today.

 

My vet suggested I get some fish oil and add it to Callie's food to help boost her immune system. She said I could buy caplets and break them open, but all I can find are softgels. Does anyone know where I can buy this? Thanks.

 

We've been using Nordic Naturals Omega-3

It's not a caplet, but it's a liquid you just add to their food

 

Time to slide Furball! Give your mama some hint of what to expect with your new dose! We also used fish oil at one time that came in a bottle with a pump, rather than capsules.

 

Happy, Purry Furball....can you show your stuff today. DaBean goes back to work tomorrow so today's the day to show what you can do. How 'bout it.

Carla, my dog has an Omega-3 supplement from the vet. Liquid. Welactin 3. Ingredients: fish oil and mixed tocopherols.

I used to get some fish oil from the local pet shop. I even think I got some at a grocery store. The liquid form is so much easier than capsules...poking a whole in those and squeezing out the "juice" was messy for me!

We use fish oil that comes in a bottle and it's messy. I like the pump idea. We've used capsules before and used a pin to poke a hole in the end to squeeze some out.

Hi Carla

No clue on the fish oil, but ti seems others here do use it. Sounds like a good idea.

I will hope Furball can find the blues today.

Enjoy your day today Carla. I hope all goes well.

 

One thing I like about the Nordic Naturals that Chris mentioned, is that it comes with a dropper than can also be used as a lid. Makes for easy measuring of exact amounts. The other kind I've used is Ascenta Feline Omega but it's just a bottle and messier. Both it and the Nordic Naturals are made from smaller fish (sardines and anchovy) instead of the larger fish (such as salmon). I've seen some discussion that using the smaller fish that are lower down the food chain, have less contaminants. I used to use the Grizzly Salmon Oil, that has a pump. I've seen fish oil supplements in both pet stores and natural vitamin stores.

Slide down Furball please!

 

Hi Carla,
Slides down, Furball!
I hope fish oil works for Callie.

 

Another yellow day for Furball, but she's feeling good this evening.

Thanks everyone for the tips on the fish oil. I'll have to look around and see what I can find.

 

Glad she's feeling good tonight...even if it was a yellow day. However, there is always time for a little blue tonight! Scritches to Miss Furball! Sleep well, Carla. Tomorrow is Monday.

 

It looks like Furball is listening, Carla! Just a little more, Furball, and you'll be in the Blue Grotto!

Can't help you with the fish oil. I gave one dose to Rusty several years ago and discovered that he was allergic to fish!

Have a good restful evening before the work week begins,

Hugs, scritches,

Ella & Rusty

 

Wendy is right on the smaller v larger fish issue. Because the bigger fish eat the smaller fish they have much higher levels of mercury and other nasties. Think blue Furball!
