ok i read that for dry eyes i can use cod liver oil and unmedicated eyedrops in addition to uping the humidity. my poor new little guy scratches his eyes alot when he first wakes up and seems like he cant open them for a few min after waking. i couldnt find cod liver oil so i got fish oil, can i use this? the website said i can poke a hole in the gel capsule with a needle and put a drop on his eyes...but again is cod liver oil the same as fish oil and if not can i use it anyway? also it said the eyedrops work well too, so i got some regular eye drops...some genaric kind because they were all out of the name brand...the active ingreients are polyvinyl alcohol 0.5%, and povidone 0.6%. the fish oils ingredients are fish oil 1000mg, EPA, DHA, and total omega 3 fatty acids 300mg...will either or both of these work for my poor little guys eyes? my vet is on vacation for the week and i just got him yesterday so i have to wait til next week for his first check up, so i need something to sooth his little eyes for now.
