For Jen, Emeraldgirl - re cat cancer

[jenluckenbach]

Also, I will begin giving him some salmon oil in his food. I will look online for the appropriate dose for cats

Have you found any info on this?? I bought the Omega-3 capsules today and now I need to find out HOW much is goo (and safe). I am not a good "searcher" . But if I find something, I'll post it.

EDIT..... I found this product:

It is similar to the capsules I bought. (mine have 600mg, these have 500mg of the Omega-3).

Since a liquid filled capsule is impossible to give 1/2 of per day (the dosage suggested for this product) I fugured I would open the capsule and suck it into a small oral syringe. THEN give half of that amount.

My experiment with this suggests there is .6 ml in a capsule, so I will start giving him .3 ml per day.

Here is a qoute I found on the effects of Omega-3's
Omega-3s also work as an anti-inflammatory for skin diseases, asthma, allergies and kidney inflammation and some studies have shown them to be beneficial in reducing and stopping the growth of tumors.

Jen - could it be mixed into wet food? (Assuming there is some Mr Meow likes! )

If it is an Omega 3 from fish oil, it should smell pretty good to him. Otherwise - there might not be any taste at all.
