Our guys get-
Fish oil (sardine/anchovy/etc) every other day coconut oil once a week glucosamine/condritin/msm daily bovine colostrum 5-6 days a week apple cider vinegar w/the mother in water (and some at breakfast) slippery elm bark powder when they have the runs
there are a few others we use that i cant recall the names of right now. one is for my elderly cat (helps with cancer), and then there's the one we have for help with infection (cprcheetah recommended) - traumeal?, taurine (mostly for the cats), and l-lysine (helps boost immunity) - again mostly for the cats (all of whom have the herpes virus).

Steph is it salmon oil? I used to give a squirt with their meal a couple of times a week but remember to start off slowly with that too or he will get loose stools.
