Question Omega 3

I started feeding my dog a fish oil supplement about 2 weeks ago and shes thrown up 6 times in two weeks. My dog has always had an extremely sensitive stomach. But fish oil is supposedly gentle on a dogs stomach. This is the only thing i have changed in her diet. Has anyone else ever had this problem? She hasnt lost any weight or anything but it does worry me. Oh she did go to the vet last week but the vet said she looked so healthy and that her skin and coat looked amazing.

Are there any other vitamins, etc. like vitamin E for 1? May be getting too much of something else from your supplement when you include the total diet. Prob. not but I would check the ingredients just the same.

Hmm... i will definitely check that out! Im at work right now and my moms dog sitting but she may not know what to look for. So i'll check it out tonight and see what i find. I didnt really think about overloading her with supplements, i mean i knew it could happen i just for some reason didnt think about it. Thanks

Just wanted to do a quick update. I actually think i was feeding her to much food. So i cut her food in half and she hasnt thrown up once. Shes never been a huge eater but with the fish oil she definitely eats more and she just doesnt need that much food. Thanks for the help!
