oil, it comes from a genetically engnieered plant in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant. It is an industrial oil, not a food oil. There has been much debate on this since it started being marketed for human use.



This is the same plant that is used for insecticides and the base of Mustard gas used in chemical warfare that casues blistering of the lungs and skin. It is also thought to be related to "mad cow" disease as once it was removed from the fed, feeder aniamls were fed, the symptoms stopped.



Olive oil, sweet oil, or other vegetable oils are safe to use, about 3 drops with warms soaks will work if it is moveable, other than that, you need a vet to assist
