>>> Years ago, while hanging out in the cafeteria at U.C. Davis Vet Hospital, I >>> met a professor from the animal nutrition department. I described the wonderful diet I had put my aging cat on and mentioned the addition of flax oil. She said something like "well, flax oil is close to useless for a cat, it can't digest it well or utilize it -- give flax oil to your horses and give fish oil to cats." ... I had not yet seen an Icelandic horse.
That's pretty ironic, isn't it, in light of this thread? But, there are lots of old folk remedies (for humans and for animals) that are either useless or downright harmful. Some may work, but I don't lightly buy into folk remedies without doing a lot of checking first. Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
