护理宠物纪要
有许多健康问题，围绕着我们的宠物，从关节炎、发炎的关节、割伤或瘀伤到循环和心脏的问题。
一个健康的宠物，最重要因素之一，是它有健康的饮食，在饮食中其中一些最重要的营养物质是必需脂肪酸欧米伽3和6。
你的宠物缺乏必需脂肪酸是非常严重的，但是如果出现缺乏症状，如皮肤片状剥落和阴暗无光，在早期阶段，发现的任何严重问题，通过在它们的食物中补充简单的添加物，是可以避免的。
欧米加6脂肪酸 -- 亚油酸，是很好的必需脂肪酸。我们知道，狗和猫所需要它。现代加工动物食品往往缺乏足够的必需脂肪酸，特别是低热量的食品。欧米茄6脂肪酸是已知的补充剂。在其他方面，必需脂肪酸功效如下：
--血液流到身体组织的调控
--损伤后的血液凝固
--正常的繁殖
--免疫系统对损伤和感染的反应
--健康的皮毛和皮肤保养
--增加能量水平
欧米加3在犬和猫的饮食方面的作用研究不多，但他们被认为有助于对付某些皮肤疾病的炎症，有助于神经系统的维护和肿块消除，有助于缓解视敏度减低和减少副淋巴瘤作用。
鸸鹋油
鸸鹋油是100%的天然治疗法，已药用于土著居民数百年。在世界范围内，由于鸸鹋油的强大舒缓不适的特性及其具有的最有效的自然疗法的广泛性，鴯鹋油现在已经越来越受欢迎。
明显的是鸸鹋油含欧米伽6很丰富，还含有少量的欧米伽3。
鸸鹋油的好处不仅体现在这里，，然而，一项发表于1998年的出版物（5）表明，鸸鹋油用于动物皮肤伤口愈合，可以帮助伤口的愈合时间加快2倍。
此外，已发表的一些研究表明，鸸鹋油对皮肤的应用可以帮助减轻炎症和肿胀（1-4），特别是与动物有关的关节炎。
Pet Care fact sheet
One of the most important factors in having a healthy pet is that it has a healthy diet and among some of the most important nutrients within that diet are the essential fatty acids, Omegas 3 and 6.
A lack of essential fatty acids in your animal's diet can be very severe, but if the signs of deficiency, such as flaky skin and a dull coat, are spotted at an early stage any serious problems can be avoided and remedied with a simple addition to their diet.
Omega 6 fatty acid 'Linoleic acid', which is the only essential fatty acid known to be needed by dogs and one, of only two, needed by cats. Often lacking in sufficient amounts in modern processed animal food, especially reduced calorie foods, Omega 6 fatty acids are known to aid with, among other things, the following:
- Regulation of blood flow to body tissues
- Blood clotting after an injury
- Normal reproduction
- Immune system response to injury and infection
- Maintenance of a healthy coat and skin
- Increased energy levels
The role of Omega
Emu oil
Emu oil is a 100% natural remedy that has been used in Aboriginal medicine for centuries. The oil has now become famous around the Globe for its powerful soothing properties and its popularity as one of the most effective natural remedies available is growing quickly.
Emu oil is seen to be very rich in Omega 6, and also contains smaller amounts of Omega 3.
The benefits of emu oil don't appear to stop there however and a study published in 1998 (5) showed that when emu oil was applied to the skin wounds of animals it helped speed up the wound healing process by up to 2 times.
Furthermore there have now been several published studies that have shown that the application of emu oil to the skin can help reduce inflammation and swelling (1-4), especially that associated with animal arthritis.
