supplements

I was going thru some old copies of posts I had printed off the forum. I found one that mentioned not giving fish oil to pregnant dogs due to an increased risk of cleft palate. I checked with my repro. vet. She said she always give her girls fish oil. Has anyone else heard anything either pro or con?

Re: supplements

Fish body oil or Salmon oil is fine; it is Cod Liver oil that you should avoid (Vit A) for the first 2/3 of the pregnancy (if you supplement with CLO). Ditto for liver (high in Vit A).
