Jesse's story · Seizures · 2016

“Never will I be out of Nzymes ever again!” Seven years seizure-free, on Treats, drops and good food.

Jesse, a Shepherd and Lab mix, started having seizures at about six. His potassium bromide dose kept going up, and the dog his family knew kept slipping away. Peggy went looking for another way, and with her vet's knowledge, weaned him off the medication while loading him up on Nzymes.

“Jesse's smile came back, his eyes sparkled
and once again he would give you that wink once in a while.”

– Peggy Fetchko, Jesse's mom · California

His whole disposition changed.

"When he was about 6 years old, Jesse, our Lab mix started having seizures. Our vet said unless he had the seizures more than twice a month we wouldn't put him on medication. Well, he started having them more often so the vet put him on Potassium Bromide about 2 cc twice a day. The dosage eventually went up to 4.25 cc twice a day.

His whole disposition changed. He laid around more, didn't smile anymore, no sparkle in his eyes and gained a lot of weight (eventually up to 132 lbs)."

“Do you think that is a good idea?”

"Finally one day I went to the computer to check out lab mix with seizures and I found Nzymes.com. One of the persons there previously had a dog with epilepsy. He suggested I start Jesse on the Nzymes Antioxidant Treats, the Ox-E Drops, and a good natural dog food to avoid chemicals, colorings and other additives that are known to contribute to seizure activity.

We went back to the vet when I told him we were going to take Jesse off the potassium bromide and try these Nzymes. He said, 'Do you think that is a good idea?' I said, 'What worse could happen than we would have to put him back on the medication again?' However, we were afraid to just take him off the medication cold turkey so we weaned him off while loading him up on the Nzymes."

The person Peggy spoke with was Stan, whose own dog's seizures are where Nzymes began. If your dog is already on an anti-convulsant, don't stop or change it on your own. Peggy did it slowly and with her vet in the loop. Nutrition can begin while your dog is still on medication, 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 will talk it through with you.

The month and a half she put off ordering.

"Now we were totally using Nzymes Antioxidant Treats, Ox-E Drops and natural dog food. Jesse's smile came back, his eyes sparkled and once again he would give you that wink once in a while. He maybe had one or two very mild seizures at the beginning but then went to none for a long time.

My husband asked me to order more Nzymes, but I kept putting it off, thinking to myself, 'do they really work, am I just spending money for nothing?' So about a month and a half went by and I kept putting off ordering the Nzymes when I heard our other dog barking like something was wrong. I went to check and see and there was Jesse laying by the door having a seizure. I went to get my husband who always comforted Jesse during her episodes and then I went straight to the computer to order more Nzymes!

Never will I be out of Nzymes ever again! So now, we are 'Seven Years Seizure Free' with Nzymes and good dog food. Jesse is getting older and slower but still maintains that sparkle."

What Jesse's family used

Food mattered too: Peggy switched Jesse to a natural dog food without artificial colorings and additives. Our recommended foods guide shows what to look for, and the interactive guide that arrives after purchase links to it.
