QUOTE(jaunty_niel @ Jun 9 2007, 03:31 PM) starting 2 feed da both evening primrose oil [EPO]. consulted da vet n they say dat its quite ok for the coat. cut open da capsule n pour da oil on da kibbles. i mix 1 capsules for them per meal. [1 capsules 2 dogs, twice a day] EPO r much more cheaper than flax seed oil or fish oil, but of cos da quality is different. it provides more vitamin E. for da skin n coat. ya jack jack ate da bloody pad. smelly one. she din pack it nicely n i don think she throw straight into da dustbin dats y jack jack can find it.. when i came bac from college da whole floor fulled wif scraps of bloody pads.. conclusion = don let ur pups touch da pads!! @@ wah ...whole floor fulled with the scraps of those bloody pads..GOSH .... cant imagine the picture of the scene how was it look like . Terrible huh ? @@

jus now saw solid gold brand flax seed oil selling at rm51! dunno o..read da contains?
Added on June 9, 2007, 11:47 pmEvening primrose oil has a rich content of fatty acids. It also contains campestrol and beta-sitosterol. GLA is converted by the body into prostaglandin - substance that posses properties for controlling inflammation, clotting the blood and synthesizing cholesterol properties. The anti-inflammatory properties of evening primrose provide relief for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. It is still unclear as to how much of GLA is produced within the body and how much is enough. Supplements of Evening primrose oil have shown benefits in cases of skin afflictions such as itching, redness and drying.
Flaxseed and flaxseed oil may be indicated in hyperlipidemia, to decrease platelet aggregation, to lower blood pressure, to help prevent heart attacks and stroke, and to ameliorate some of the symptoms of arthritis. There is a suggestion that it may be helpful in some cancers. Claims that it can be useful in the treatment of anxiety, benign prostatic hyperplasia, constipation, vaginitis and weight loss are unsubstantiated.
Studies show fish oil can support the health of canines just like it can with humans. A study published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine found that dogs with heart failure had lower levels of EPA and DHA than their healthy counterparts. Supplementing with omega 3 oil rich in EPA and DHA improved the survival rates for all dogs.

Give supplement only when your furkid encounter illness, skin problem, & etcs
