In mid-December, my beautiful 12 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, Dancer, had all but been formally diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy, an insidious disease which is very much like MS in humans. Her prognosis was very grim. She was fast losing her mobility, stability, coordination, and was experiencing random rear leg paralysis. While all of the symptoms were extremely unsettling for both her and us, the most frightening aspect of all was the paralysis. She has always been so vibrant, and these incidents were clearly scaring her and quickly taking her confidence away. My vet at this time, said there was very little they could do for me other than refer her to a vet who specialized in neurology and who could test her more aggressively.
It was at this time in mid-December 2014, while frantically searching for help, I found your website. When I first found your page on Degenerative Myelopathy, and your suggested treatment plan, I was both hopeful and skeptical. There is, after all very little hope offered when it is suggested a dog may have this condition, as anyone searching the Internet regarding this condition will find. I spoke with Maria and she was very knowledgeable about the condition which immediately impressed me. We spoke at length, and she empathetically offered her support, and let me know that while this may not be the answer, she has seen success with their core plan in both her personal experience, and those of her customers.
I decided to order the package and eagerly awaited the arrival. In the meantime, I contacted a holistic vet in my area, who, though would not be able to see her for 2 weeks, said with the chiropractic treatments, a raw food diet, and proper supplements, he could very well be able to improve the quality of her life. When I informed him that I had just purchased the supplements from Pet Health and Nutrition Company, he asked me to forward the information to him so he could review. I did so, and when he got back to me soon after, informed me that this was an excellent direction to take, and that the products were high quality, and that he did not see any reason why starting her on this program while we waited to see him would hurt in any way, and would more than likely provide great help.
Upon visiting our new vet, he advised me on how to incorporate a raw meat diet into her life. Since doing this, and giving her the supplements in the DM package, along with a high quality fish oil and the BioPrep formula, I am so very happy to report that my baby is back! Her coordination and mobility have vastly improved, and the leg paralysis episodes have essentially gone away. While her stamina is not what it used to be, we are able to take her on walks and she does not trip and stumble anymore, which is amazing!
It is now, early March 2015. There is light and life in her eyes and in her step. I know nothing is promised, and I won’t have her forever with me on earth, but I am so grateful to see her enjoying her life again, and I will be happy with every extra day I have with her. As well, I will always and forever be grateful I found your website on that awful day. It gave me hope and guided me to a vet who supports your products and your recommendations, and helped me so much with changing her diet. Ultimately though, it has given me many more precious days with my beautiful angel on earth.
