My vet is recommending EPA (fish oil) supplements

Has anyone tried these for their pets? Have you seen any improvement?
The fentanyl helped some. About an hour after we placed the patch, his spirits improved quite a bit and he was able to get around okay, once he got up (which was difficult). Of course we restricted his movements but as long as he was walking, not running or jumping, we let him move around.
This morning he is not able to move around a whole lot. Just a few feet from one room to another.
So is there any real chance that the EPA supplement will work? The vet seems to think so. Anyone with direct experience?

Hubby definitely into supplements and the like
so I will ask him to research about what you have said above and ask him to get for me. I might have said in the first post, the leg pains (only of a night)wake me from sleep. I at 1 time (knocking on wood as I type this) had electrical currents that would shoot up thru my foot- only when I walked and never knew when it was going to happen. These leg pains are deep, deep aching pains and when I wake, cannot find a comfortable position. Is this what your hubby had or similar? Don't know how the antidepressant would work, have never been advised to take but then again, have nothing for the deep aches either. Tell me how he was diagnosed, treatment so far, etc. Thanks.
Have you ever tried zinc supplements
for flares?
Any new foods? Is there any particular food she eats too much of do you think?
Hope she gets better soon.
Magnesium supplements may help (sm)
Magnesium-calcium imbalance can cause eye twitching. Might be worth a try
Flax oil and taurine supplements helped me tremendously (sm)
Mine is now pretty much gone but any time I feel bad I start back on the flax oil (oil not capsules) and it helps tremendously. I hope you feel better soon!
Omega fatty acid supplements helped my son a lot (sm)
I just by the gummy supplements brand name Little Critters at Target. After a couple of weeks on them, my son himself, at the age of 9, recognized the difference in how he felt and he now reminds me when we run out, that I need to get him some more.
Are you on hormones? Tried oil supplements into your diet? Flax seed oil? Coconut oils? Research

Right?! I once caught a fish so big...(sm)
that I wanted to run back to the house to get the camera or at the very least an eye witness, but was all by myself. This fish I caught, it was a carp, which is a basically a goldfish on steroids. This thing was as big as a 5-gallon water bottle--no word of a lie. It actually broke my fishing rod.
So there I was, down below the highway with my huge catch, and I had no way to contain the thing and didn't want to kill it by taking it for a walk with me. So, I did what any insane person would do. I unhooked my bra, took off the bra, strung the straps through the mouth, out the gills, and attached this "tethered" but quite safe carp to a sapling that dipped into the river.
Mind you, this all took place in the CITY (I so totally don't belong in city) and I had to scramble up an embankment and cross a 2-lane highway, while holding down my flapping boobies, to get back to the condo to get my eyewitness.
My husband was home and he got to witness the whole spectacle. No camera though...all I have are my memories, which I am told are degrading, as my fish gets bigger and bigger every time I tell the story.
Long live us rednecks! 
do you know where the fish is coming
from? Kind of scary after watching some consumer reports. The state of Alabama is one of the few to have a fish inspector and he will not order fish in a restaurant in his own state! You don't even want to see where they catch fish in China or what they are fishing in. That is being sent over here. Good luck.
I can't make fish. I don't care for it that much and sm
every time I make it, it tastes fishy, which I hate. no matter what I do, it just turns out badly.
OMG. I have never heard a fish story like that
I still have my christmas lights up on my front porch.
Can't stand a limp fish
handshake . . . my 8th grade English teacher insisted that she would not pass anyone who would not learn how to correctly shake hands, and consequently I have had more than my fair share of comments regarding the strength of my shake :)
When other females offer the limp fish, I'm pretty much disgusted by it.
Italian Christmas Eve with fish.
There aren't a lot of us, so we won't do the full-on 7 fishes, but we'll probably have some mussels, some shrimp, pasta, maybe some baked white fish.
For Christmas, probably ham, because I can serve that hot or cold and we can relax and not stress.
to grill steaksand fish is in the
George Foreman griller!
What is the best temp to cook fish at in the oven. nn

Ol' Charlie the Tuna was in the fish section.
I used to have a Charlie the Tuna watch when I was a kid, and so when I saw him there I snatched him up!
I still think you're ahead of me, I STILL can't figure out how to get the smileys in my posts!!
Oh, I see now you got it to work! Now you ARE ahead of me!
Reminds me of a lady allergic to a certain fish, well
she went to eat dinner one night and they had ran out of the fish advertised in the front line and substituted the one she was allergic to. She got, ate, almost killed her. My question is if a person thinks might be or might not be allergic to a thing, why take a chance on it? Same with question of dog allergy to aspirin. If possibility, sure wouldn't give to arf-arf.
You silly bunny, oh course you can't make fish
its already made. Ha, ha!! I just had to do that after all these threads that have gone on and on and on. We will next be handing out boxing gloves.
Bunch of cold fish on this posting.....nm

That is a good question - white fish?
Have some in the fridge, don't know what to do with it. The old standard (baked) doesn't seem to be working up my appetite. Any advice?
Call your local fish and game wardens, they

My husband puts fish he catches & sodas in the same cooler! (nm)

Great frozen fish - halibut, blue hake, fillets; sm
I also use the packages of veggies like asparagus spears - next best thing to fresh. You don't have to use the premixed things, just buy single items that you'd like to keep on hand. Good selection of low-fat frozen yogurt and ice cream items. And I ditto the poster below about the bagel dogs - great snack food on the run!
Hey, nice to meet goombas here! Love the fish tradition Christmas Eve!
