Yumega for a hamster?

[Queen Of The High Teas]

Can hamsters have Yumega cat? Ingredients evening primrose oil, sunflower oil and salmon oil. Meant for cats with dry flaky skin, so I'm wondering if it would be ok for Sunny instead of cod liver oil? Please can someone answer quickly as I'm at work and can bring it home with me when I finish at 1. Thanks

EDIT: never mind, I asked one of the vets who says they don't see any problems or harm with the ingredients. Will see how it goes.

Well I've given Sunny some if this stuff this evening, and whatever it is he seems to like it! I put a drop on his food and a drop in the tiny scoop it comes with, and he was lapping at it like it was ice cream! Here's hoping it sorts his coat out

Its great stuff. YUMOVE was fab for my arthritic lab. Never used the cat version but what a great idea. Wonder if the YUMOVE would be any good for elderly hams once they start to get abit stiff.

Hope it works.

Thanks. Yeah Yumove is really good, it tends to go like hot cakes at our vets, and those who take the dog Yumega say it works well too, so hopefully the cat one will do the same. The stuff in it though must be nice, as Sunny can't get enough of it, he was sat waiting at the cage door this evening and could hardly wait until I put some out for him. Hopefully, his coat will start to improve with it, and I've also put a drop on the food for the others, see if it gives their coat an added shine, so we'll see how it goes!

As for the Yumove, I'll have a look at the ingredients in them tomorrow. Theirs deffo nothing chemical in them because their non prescription, but not sure if what is in them is ok for hammies.

Sunny has now been on Yumega cat for about a fortnight and WOW what a difference!! His coat was dull, thinning (you could see the skin on his head where the fur was sparse), skirt had gone, flaky skin all over making him look awful and feel bitty and he was looking old.. In short he looked quite dreadful. Not any more! His fur is silky soft with a really lustrous shine like he used to have, really thick and fluffy and his skirt has come back. His skin is clear apart from the last little bit on his neck, which is now brushing out much easier anyway, and he looks bright eyed and young again. This stuff has worked amazing and whatever is in it he loves as he'll drink it straight from the bottle like a baby.

Aww bless, glad it is working so well.
My dog has both YUMOVE and YUMEGA even though he is allergic to some of the contents be seems to do better with his allergies and stiffness while on it, which I find really bizarre. But hey if it works and all that.
I have heard so many great things about it, and they have apparently started doing a human version called IMOVE, although I've only heard about it.

I might offer some of mine a little taste, especially Zippy with her bald stop.
