Four years of antibiotics, steroid shots, and prescription diets couldn't stop the itch.The diagnosis said allergies. The problem was yeast.Max tells the story himself. Becky, his mom, finishes it.
“I later learned it was hurting him, because it was just treating the symptoms and prolonging his misery.”
Max's own telling opens the story: "I would constantly rub my face on the floor and chew on my feet. I felt like I was going crazy." His family put socks on his feet and a special collar so he couldn't chew and scratch himself raw. The vet said allergies, and the treatments began: antibiotics, steroid shots, a prescription diet.
"All that didn't really help, but for a day or two." Then came the black rings and red splotches, oily hair with a bad odor, and his undercoat falling out. Back to the vet, again and again. More shots, more antibiotics. He kept getting worse.
Constant rubbing and chewing; his eyes drooped from the misery.
Swollen cheeks and an oily, odorous coat.
The vet referred Max to a veterinary dermatologist. "I thought, at last, I'll get some help." Instead: more antibiotics, another diet change, and a skin test that left him looking, in his words, "like a walking pegboard." Becky gave him allergy shots every day. He got worse, and felt worse.
Then his groomer stepped in. She told Becky about Nzymes and said: call them and talk about Max. "I am sure glad she did. They were so helpful. So in July, my life changed."
Under the neck: the undercoat was going.
The story came to us twice: once from Max, and once from Becky. Here they are, lightly trimmed.
“Before long I was acting like a puppy again and my skin was changing every day. Finally no more itchiness or smell. And best of all, I have all my hair and I must say I am very handsome.
I am so thankful for my parents, groomer and the Nzymes products!”
“Max went through a lot. Some days I felt like he would not be around much longer and his life was miserable. Even the dog groomer told me later that she kept expecting a phone call that Max did not make it, because he looked so bad.
We spent a lot of money on prescription vet foods and a lot of time and money going to different veterinarians trying antibiotics, allergy testing, allergy shots, steroids, and it just was not helping him. I later learned it was hurting him because it was just treating the symptoms and prolonging his misery.
Following the program and having patience is the key. Calling the staff with questions or concerns when needed is important. It took an entire year to work through the full recovery.”
No more itchiness or smell.
The same neck that was losing its undercoat.
The cost was a small price to pay to have our beautiful boy back looking like a show dog.
Max closed his letter looking forward, not back: "I will be 9 years old on April 12th and I will take my Nzymes every day so I will live a healthy and happy life." And Becky closed hers with the line that sums up the whole story: "His outside appearance is a reflection of how healthy he is on the inside."
