Marlon's story · Back legs giving out · 2019

“Vet after vet told me I couldn't save him.” Two weeks later, Marlon was walking again.

A white Boxer mix with a poor immune system from the start, fifteen vets, and at five, a back end that was giving out. Surgery was quoted at fifteen thousand dollars. His family tried one more thing.

“I wasn't giving up on him until he gave up,
and even then I tried one more thing.”

– L. Swanson, Marlon's mom · Champlin, Minnesota

The vet told her straight out this pup had a poor immune system.

"We've been through a lot in our short six years together now. He's always had some issues that I thought were related to digestion. Ever burped a puppy? I have. If I didn't, he puked. Even though I did, he still puked regularly. His issues were sometimes severe. The emergency vet staff knew his sign language because he was there so often! One vet, who we only saw once, told me I couldn't spend my life trying to save this dog."

"First it was puking, then seizures, then allergies, then life-threatening allergies. One time at night in the backyard we think he got bit by a bug. His face swelled so bad that his eyes were swelled shut, and the pores actually opened up and blood droplets were seeping down his face. Another time he had anaphylactic shock. He was only two years old then. Thankfully, the vet and vet staff were able to save him through those issues. Problem was, I couldn't figure out how to fix them!"

"We went holistic when he was two years old, but it still wasn't enough. We changed foods regularly and tried supplement after supplement. Thyroid meds looked horrible for him, although he tested low thyroid. Raw food and a few supplements seemed to make him at least more stable. I feared that was probably as good as it was going to get."

Marlon's situation
White Boxer mix, deaf; poor immune system from puppyhood
Chronic vomiting, seizures, severe allergies; anaphylactic shock at 2
Tested low thyroid; thyroid medication did not suit him
At 5: back end atrophying, falling over as he walked, no stairs
Diagnosed: severe spondylosis, arthritis, mild hip dysplasia, deformed back knees
Surgery proposed: about $15,000 with a year of recovery

Then at five, his back end started to go.

"I couldn't tell exactly what from but I could see it happening. Sometimes his back end would just fall over as he walked. He could no longer do stairs. The vet diagnosed him with severe spondylosis and arthritis, mild hip dysplasia, and deformed back knees. They recommended approximately $15,000 in surgery with a year recovery. I knew he couldn't make it through that, even if I had the money. Plus, I don't think a year recovery is fair for a dog. We tried more supplements, chiropractic, acupuncture, knee and hip braces, etc. Nothing was working."

"I cried and cried and cried knowing I was finally going to have to give up on my boy! He was getting sad and losing his spirit, and I was having a hard time helping him up the stairs and lifting him in and out of the car. Somewhere in all those tears I finally asked God for help. Marlon was only five years old! And suddenly the next day online I saw Nzymes ads everywhere! I asked a question online and they called me and talked with me and told me to give Nzymes a try. Am I ever glad I did!"

Within a few days he was walking better.

"On Nzymes Marlon was showing improvement within a few days! He did get rashy skin in some spots (a detox side effect), but he was walking better! After a week or so I was feeling better too, watching his condition improve. After two weeks I was a true believer!"

"I call this chapter of my life 'to save the white boxer.' I've been trying to save him for his entire six years. He's such a goofy, lovable, over-sized lap dog. Nzymes is one of the cheapest supplements I've ever tried for him and by far the most effective! He's off of all other supplements now! I do still carry Benadryl and Liquid Magnesium for emergencies, but so far I haven't needed them!"
