Fish Oil For Dog With Seizures
Fish oil for dog with seizures
Hello, I have two small dogs one is 6 lbs and the other is 7 lbs. One of them has real bad seizures I was wanting to try fish oil I was wanting the human grade, most of them have lemon or orange in them, is that ok?
Also, how much do I give them? Also, I read somewhere you are supposed to use fish or salmon oil, does that mean you can not use cod liver oil?
Thanks
Answer.
I recommend in small dogs to use one fish oil capsule every other day. One Capsule contains 1.000 mg of fish oil, equivalent to 300 mg of omega 3 fats (EPA plus DHA, from the label. Some cod liver oils are so bad in quality they don´t even say how much EPA and DHA they contain. Do not use those). No problem to use human quality fish oil, it is the same product.
Some liquid cod liver oils and fish oils come in different flavors, you can use those too, but I like to use fish oil instead of cod liver oil because Cod liver oil contains vitamins A and D that could accumulate in the body after long periods.
Fish oil is specially recommended for optimization of the nervous system in humans and dogs. In the case of seizures, you could improve this condition if you avoid feeding your dog with dry food, that is with a high protein diet. Dry dog food is made with grains and all other carbohydrates that not only work against the digestive system dogs have developed to digest meats but it is related with seizures.
