“She acted more like the girl I had been missing.” Two weeks, and down the steps on her own.

Two months, and she was hiding under the nightstand.

"My Pekingese, Maggie, is 5 years old. Within 2 months time, she began having trouble with weakness in her back end. My previous Pekingese, Gizmo, had had the same trouble."

The vet gave Maggie an IV steroid shot and put her on prednisone tablets every other day. "The vet said there wasn't much else he would recommend, just give her prednisone."

By then Maggie had stopped being Maggie. "She was no longer able to go up and down stairs on her own and had lost her spunk and playfulness. About all she wanted to do was hide in the bedroom under our nightstand most of the day. When I took her outside, she was even hesitant to walk around."

“Just for the heck of it,” she typed in “back problems in dogs.”

"I was on the internet one afternoon and just for the heck of it, I typed in 'back problems in dogs' and came up with the Nzymes.COM website. The stories sounded great, but I was skeptical. I ordered the Antioxidant Treats and when they came a few days later, I offered her one. I was amazed that she even ate it, since she is a little picky about her treats."

Aline changed one more thing at the same time: "I switched her dog food to one that was on the Nzymes.COM list of recommended foods." That list is still the first thing we go over with a family; the current version is our recommended foods guide.

Not overnight. But within a week.

"Her improvement wasn't overnight, but within 1 week she was a lot more active and I cut her prednisone to every third day with no relapse. In 2 weeks she was going down steps on her own and she acted more like the girl I had been missing! We are in our 3rd week and she is improving still."

"I am a firm believer in the benefit of the Nzymes Antioxidant Treats and have even been giving them to our 18½-year-old Shih Tzu. We had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I am a believer, and I tell all my pet owning friends."

A word on the prednisone. Aline stepped Maggie's dose down herself as she improved. If your dog is on a steroid or a pain medication, please don't stop or change it on your own; the Treats can start while the medication continues, and many of the families we work with do both as they gradually step down. If that is where you are, book a free consultation and we'll talk it through with you.
