[nagdu] Fish Oil

[Nicole Torcolini]

For a while, I gave Lexia fish oil, but I stopped because she did not really
need it that much and it made her stink.

Minh,
With my first guide, I added a tablet worths to her water. With my Emma
girl, I added a punctured tablet to her food. Once she got sick and would
eat around the tablet, I would squeeze out the contents of the tablet on to
her wet food. She was from TSE, where they give the pup food with a little
bit of water on it. Not sure if they do that anymore. With this pup I will
puncture the tablet and put into her dry food. I guess it depends on the
pup, the school in which you got yoru pup from, and how the food is given to
the pup. 

Yes it does smell bad, it is from fish though...LOL
