Don't have any fish oil recommendations, but if you can find some in standard sized capsules, you can pill them without any scent.
We use a 5ml syringe with the front cut off, with a tiny amount remaining so the plunger doesn't push through. We can fit full human sized capsules in there. Load wet food in, put pill after, loaded in the tip. Fires it down their throat and tastes like regular food.
I would rather avoid the stress of giving them pills unless completely necessary, it’s absolutely miserable for us all when we do have to give them meds. This will be good info tho if we ever need to give them meds regularly, so thanks!
Glad to help! Works way better than those pill poppers. One of our cats now refuses to eat on her own, and will harass us until we syringe her. Multiple cans a day with this method, and she loves it!
