“Spike still had so much spirit that there was no way I could give up on him.” Two weeks later he was walking again.

He had just started moving like a younger dog.

"Our 12-year-old Bull Terrier, Spike, has always been healthy, but this last year he started to move more stiffly, so I went in search of something to help. I found Nzymes.com on the Internet and placed an order. Within a couple of weeks Spike's stiffness had been greatly alleviated and he was moving like a younger dog."

"However, in April, all of a sudden, he lost strength and the movement in his rear legs, and in a couple of days, also in his front legs. He could not walk at all or even stand without collapsing. We took him to 3 vets and a specialist in neurology. A variety of tests continued to come up empty, and the diagnosis eventually was that Spike probably had contracted a virus that paralyzed nerve endings along the spine, not allowing signals to the brain. The symptoms resembled something called coonhound syndrome. No one offered any treatment possibilities, other than that Spike might get better on his own, but most probably the virus would continue to recur."

She called us in desperation.

"Spike still had so much spirit that there was no way I could give up on him. In desperation, I contacted the people at Nzymes to see if they knew of anything that could help. They put me in contact with two wonderful caring people who designed a health and nutrition program for Spike. We increased his Nzymes and added some health food supplements."

"Then they arranged for us to get a new product they thought could help, called Nzymes Ox-E Drops. This is a natural formula which can be very supportive for immune health, and goes into Spike's food and water every day."

In 2000, Ox-E Drops were brand new. Spike was one of the first dogs to try them, which is part of why his letter has stayed in our story vault for over twenty-five years.

Two weeks in, up and down on his own.

"Within 2 weeks, Spike was on his way to getting his health back. The improvements were subtle at first, but at the end of 2 weeks he was getting up and down on his own and walking again. Every day he gets stronger and his muscle tone is returning. He is one happy dog again."

"On behalf of Spike and the entire Myhre household, we extend our heartfelt thanks for a company that goes an extra mile."

Coonhound paralysis has no specific veterinary treatment; dogs recover on their own timetable, and the body's rebuilding of nerve and muscle is where nutrition does its work.
