Advanced Cetyl M for dog hip dysplasia? Fish oil dosage for 41lb dog?

Question

My dog has hip dysplasia. I would like to start him with supplement but HD or Joint supplement in my country is limited. Any feedback on Advanced Cetym M as I would like to try it. Also how much of fish oil should I give him? He is 19kg (41 lbs) but he's on Hill's Diet Weight Reduction canned food as he just has a perineal surgery and the vet suggested to cut his weight to 15kg. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 5 years and 5 months old | 41 lbs

I have used Cetyl-M in my patients in the past, and have found it to be a good product. It's quite a bit more expensive than products like Dasuquin, but if it's all you can get I think it's a great option for Sly. The dose of fish oil that is believed to combat the inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs is based on their metabolic weight, not actual weight. This is calculated by raising the weight to the 0.75 power. You then combine the milligrams of DHA and EPA in the product you are using and give the dog a total dose of both that is 310 milligrams/kilo of metabolic body weight per day. Consider starting with half the dose and working up to ensure good GI tolerance.
