I bought it at the vet's office, so I hope that guarantees quality. It's AllerG-3 Liquid "An Omega-3 fatty acid supplement for dogs and cats" by Vetoquinol. With an expiration date of Feb 2013.What kind of fatty acid supplement is it? If it's something like fish oil, check to make sure it's not rancid. I would buy human-grade stuff from a good source that uses third-party testing for purity and freshness (like Nordic Naturals).
My dog jess has had problems with "acid reflux" for over a year,Symptoms such as foamy vomit,,and especially first thing in a.m. when stomach is empty, was the first of her symptoms. After endoscopy (which showed more foam at stomach opening),,and months of meds such as Prilosec,,and fomotadine,,I finally found a WONDERFUL herbal vet who has made her so much better.Ebi is a 2 year old Pekingese we adopted three weeks ago. She was vet checked (no blood tests though) and was deemed healthy except for a nasty flea allergy.
Those scabs healed but she still had really itchy skin. The vet's recommendation was 10mg benedryl 3x daily and a half a squirt of Omega 3 fatty acid supplement once a day. We've been following this for two days, and Ebi has suddenly started having accidents in the house (not an issue before) and vomited foamy goop at 11am today. She's been gobbling grass all day every time I take her out (it's 5:30pm now) which, I understand, can be a sign of an upset stomach.
Could it be the Omega 3 supplement (or I suppose the benedryl could be at fault) that might be causing the accidents and vomiting?
This thread is a year old.if expiration date is feb 2013 possibly be expired and rancid. Return to vets office for a refund or a newer bottle. It is quite possible the oil is making your dog sick. Some dogs are allergic to fish and will experience an allergy from Omega 3 if it is from fish. Your dog's symptoms sound more like acid reflux disease. I would bring your concern up with your vet so he/she can prescribed some medicine to help your dog.
I guess that would be my fault,,,sorry I'm new. But it was a google search that brought me to that thread,,and perhaps the information might be helpful to someone else dealing withdont feel bad I never look at the dates either.
