Flax Seed Oil Update
Posted by Michelle & Sunshine on 9/10/2022, 12:43 pm
I found a great way for Sunshine to get some flax seed oil in his diet like the vet suggested. I rub a cheerio in a little bit of the oil on plate and he eats it. Now, he is very mad initially that its different and slightly damp and he lets me know but he still can't resist! LOL he really loves Cheerios. He will run away when he notices the difference but come back for it. I do this twice a week for now just so he gets a little more flax in his diet than just what his seeds and pellets provide. I use Barlean's Cold Pressed Organic Flax Oil. I will probably by a new one monthly as it can go rancid quickly even when refrigerated. I am using it for myself too. Every time I give it to him, I take 1/2tsp for myself to make sure it is still fresh and to keep me heart healthy! I also use it in my salad dressings so I can use it up and i'ts beneficial so why not. Let me know if giving flax oil works for your babies. A drop in the food was recommended by the vet, but a drop can vary so I just plan to do it 2 to 3 times a week. Anything helps!
