Supplements

[Stacey]

My new rescue Bailey seems to have a few problems that we are treating.  Right now we are giving her Fish oil and Seameal in her meals (2x per day) to treat a loss of hair issue.  She is also has bad breath/teeth and Sue (from the board) suggested I give her a digestive supplement (D-Zymes by solid gold).  I am just wondering if I can mix all three of these supplements in her food together or if I should give her the fish oil and seameal at one meal and the D-Zymes at the other??  Her hair on her ears and nose are coming back so nicely so I don't want to stop that treatment yet.....  I guess I just don't know what all I can mix together!!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

If Bailey will eat the mixture I'd go for it.

I think you probably could mix them together - I mix several supplements together and it seems to be fine.  I would try it and make sure his tummy can handle it !

A note on discontinuing supplements.  I was giving Drs. Foster & Smith supplement for skin and coat.  It was a fish oil of some kind.  I switched to a store brand, which neither furkid is crazy about.  Loki became constipated.  After coaxing her to take some of the new oil, she got "regular" again.  If you are feeding dry kibble, the supplement adds needed oil that helps skin and coat, and "other" regions, as well.  Maybe you could mix in small batches so you don't have to open every container each time you give it.
Glad to hear it's working for the skin and coat!  Baily's going to look beautiful!
