https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/29311/any-experience-with-youmove-effects-on-blood-panels Hi guys, I have a concerned client who gives youmove to their two schnauzers. Over the months, we have done routine bloods and we have seen an association between the use of the supplement and raise of ALKP with no other noticiable effects.

Given that weight loss, in my experience, is demonstrably beneficial (and the proposed beneficial effect of omegas sounded like a poor mans meloxicam) I concluded that a few drops of metacam would likely be equally efficacious without the calories... (and that smaller doses of omega supplementation were wildly speculative at best)</p> <p>Regarding the improvement noted, I have no reason to believe this is more than a spurious correlation. Whil the A/lkp increase could also be a spurious correlation, id probably discontinue the omega excess?</p> <p><a target='_blank' href="https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations">https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/225133?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 29 Aug 2020 15:35:43 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:32ddf4ba-3595-4655-a704-6eb05ec05ee8Richard Carter<p>I have had pancreatic cases as well as more nonspecific g/int diarrhoea in dogs on both skin and joint suppl&nbsp;</p> <p>would have thought schnauzer with known hyperlipidaemia problems probably more sensitive to extra oil&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
