Will my dog get used to fish oil eventually? General Dog Discussions
My dog has chewed on her feet since I got her a year and a half ago. She recently started scratching her eye and rubbed some fur off around it, and chewed a small bald spot into her tail. I took her to the vet and the vet said to try fish oil. I started giving it to her but she got diarrhea so I stopped. Should i continue giving it to her, hoping her system eventually get used to the fish oil, or should I try something else?I've tried Benadryl and it didn't do anything. The vet also gave me a special shampoo to use once a week.Also, my dog has a history of being a picky eater. When I first gave her the fish oil on her food she started only eating the bits that had oil on them. Then she kinda stopped eating for a bit and I'm not sure if it's because the fish oil upset her stomach or because she was waiting for fish oil food. I decided to wait till she started eating normally again and then giving it to her as a treat after she had already eaten her food.Her eye and tail are improving.The vet suggested that her skin irritation was partially because of the dry air here in Utah. That's hy she suggested oil first.
