I put up a link to the Nature's Own fish oils caps which I used to use and was advised by Connie that they're not real good so I switched to Swisse Wild Salmon Oil, much better product and seems to be available everywhere I've found it in the local supermarkets as well as the chemists.

I would start with just about a gram a day of the fish oil and work up to the 3-gram dose I use (that is, a gram per ten pounds of dog). I would find the smallest d-alpha E I could, which will probably be 200 IU, per day, at this size.
Is your fish oil in the form of gelcaps or liquid?

If gelcaps, they are probably a gram each (1000 mg). If liquid, a measuring teaspoon is about 4.75 grams. So you could start with a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon.

Edit reason: eta
Right now I have the 1000 mg gel caps but they are left over from when I had Sierra. As the puppy gets bigger, I will be switching to the liquid. Otherwise I'll be spending all day just giving a gazillion gelcaps.
