Hi Mark -- here is the picture of PEA and her testimony.
Hi
everyone, this is my first testimonial. I have an 11 year old
Papillon, named PEA ( because she's so sweet, like a sweet pea ) and
until this past November she was doing just great. One day she had
diarrhea, and it had a little blood around it, and she vomited, I was
concerned, but not overly worried. Then I noticed her tummy was
swelling. She's a very small dog, and within days, she looked like a
beach ball, she was so round. I measured her belly and she was 21 and a
half inches around. I took her to the Vet. They ran some blood work
and put her on Steroids and Lasix ( a diuretic ) telling me that she was
'spilling' protein into her abdominal cavity and that the Lasix would
get it out.
Every day I measured her and her tummy went down
little by little. At the same time however, she stopped eating, hardly
drank, slept all the time, and was listless.
I took her back
to the Vet. They ran the blood work again, and told me that here ALT's
or something like that, which should be less than 100, were 35,208 --
very very bad. They said she has Liver Failure. I was devastated. At
this point in time, I was able to get her to eat a little cat food (
bad for her due to the high protein levels, which she can't process )
but it was that or nothing. Sometimes she'd eat a bit of a scrambled
egg, or a bit of hamburger from our local Mc'Donalds ( not my choice,
but hers ) anything to get some food into her. I'd even syringe water
in her mouth. She hardly went to the bathroom, there was nothing to
let out.
I took her back to the Vet, and they did a Bile
test, where she had to fats, then drew blood, then they force fed her
and took her blood again. Bad news. She's going to die. Liver Failure
for sure.
I had just come back from my Mothers Funeral 2 days earlier. I was frantic to save Pea.
I
found this website - I called Mark - he suggested that I do the
questionnaire and if she lived through the weekend, the custom formula
would arrive on Monday. That was Saturday January 26th.
After
I hung up with Mark, I called the Vet, we discussed putting Pea down
that day - her tummy was completely yellowish brown by now, the whites
of her eyes were also very yellow. She lost her bladder, and was laying
in her urine - looked like a animal rug ( the feet were out to the east
west, and north south - not normal at all ). I held her all day and
night, she was shivering, so I put her in my bed and used the electric
blanket to keep her warm, her temperature dropped from the normal 100's,
to 99 and she was cold to the touch. I prayed that she'd live through
the weekend. I spoke to her Breeder that night, thinking she might
want to come and say goodbye, and she looked up her papers - it was
Pea's 11th Birthday - January 26th. Oh my gosh, to think she might die
on her birthday. I just cried.
Well, she made it
through the weekend, and the Custom Formula's arrived on Monday, just as
Mark promised. I began mixing them with a little water and chicken
broth and syringing it down her throat - twice a day. That was on
January 28th.
Pea is doing AMAZING!!! Her stomach is no
longer yellow - its the normal color, as are her eyes. She eats
regular dog food meals. She loves her treats. She runs with the other
Papillon in the yard. She hits the side of the bed in the morning to
tell me to wake up - just like she used to. She hits my leg when I'm in
the rocking chair to tell me to pick her up and rock. I can't hardly
believe my eyes. She barks again. She's the NEW IMPROVED version of
Pea. It's a miracle. The custom formula works. I still give it to
her twice a day with chicken broth, ( she tolerates the taste better )
and we have to use a bib ( as you can see in the picture ) because
sometimes she just doesn't want it and spits it out or lets it dribble
out...lol - she's a character. There are no more shivers or trembling
episodes. She's regular with her bathroom habits again. I'm so
grateful and thankful for this site. I've told all my friends and even
put it on my facebook page. Thank you and thank you again and
again.
Pea's very thankful and grateful Mommy.
PS:
I just ordered the formula for the Trachea/coughing, since the other
Papillon, Pew, spent the night in an Oxygen tent due to a
coughing/choking spell. I will write a review once he begins it. :)
I'm sure it will make a huge difference.
