The November 2007 issue of Acres USA, a magazine about organic/sustainable farming, has an article (not online) about using omega-3s to cure farm-animal problems. Here are the best parts:
One family reported that their dog had failed obedience training three times. Our therapy of cod liver oil (Nordic Naturals), Fasttrack probiotic, and a homeopathic prescription enabled him to pass on the next attempt. . . . Dogs experience panic attacks for a variety of reasons. One frantic German shepard dog jumped through a plate glass window to escape the house and get near his owner. The solution to his panic and anxiety attacks proved to be cod liver oil, the correct homeopathic medicine, and a whole-food diet rich in omega-3 oils and quality live probiotics.
The obedience-training story resembles my story of taking flaxseed oil capsules and the next morning being able to easily put on my shoes standing up. With the difference that I’d had trouble several hundred times in a row, not just three.
