Re: [pyrnet] Hot Spots

Nancy,
Often the fish oil capsules are labeled Omega 3
(essential fatty acids), and if you look at the
ingredients, they are primarily fish oil. Most stores
that carry vitamins or other supplements should have
them. Usually Mandy gets 1 a day, but if she is going
to get a bath, sometimes I will double up (or if I
notice her scratching at all)
Let us know how Eiger is doing.
Kelly & Mandy
