Fish diet

Hi All

I am wondering if OES is good in Fish diet? Currently, I am trying to feed a little portion of Raw Salmon about 10g to my OES, he still can manage it. However once I over the 10g, he will get diarrea. I am not sure he is allergic or OES is not much suitable on fish diet.

Any experience guys, please advise

Thanks
Ranger

Are you sure about your salmon source?? Read the above.

Also salmon is oily, maybe too rich for your guy.
Any good fish recommendation for OES breed? Especially in RAW.
Well not raw but I do feed caned Tuna in springwater and Caned Sardines in springwater..

Mackerel. I cut the frozen fish up into peices for my boy but its the only thing my girl eats raw! she loves the heads and tails - go figure. I bought a bulk order and defrost as needed. its low in mercury and other than being smelly good for them.
My boys have fish in their diet but it's cooked salmon.

It made a noticable difference in Panda's coat as when he arrived his coat was yellow and the skin underneath was flaky. It's improved, as has all my foster cats fur who have a diet rich with salmon.

I've cut back now on the salmon for the dogs but the cats have beautiful luxerious coats due to a heavy fish diet. However, cats have different diet requirements than dogs.

Cats need a protein called Taurine in their diet, as without it they would die. In a nutshell, a cat can never be a vegetarian while it's possible with a dog. However, very few dog owners (myself included) do not have vegetarian dogs. However, I'm going off the topic. I personally think a varied diet is good but always in moderation.

I remeber reading somewhere about a new awareness about the need for Taurine in dogs as well.........
Good advice Kerry! I did a search on the net and found this info regarding Taurine in a dogs diet. It's good reading and informative, giving people a better understanding of what Taurine is.

Another article states dogs need Taurine as much as cats"

Oliver doesn't eat fish, but he eats food that is high in Omega-3, and I have to agree, it makes a HUGE difference in coat and skin.
