Koen and Axel

I had repeatedly fought with myself recently over the answers to the questions… “do I tell?”,  “When do I tell?” And, “Is this too good to be true?” Why? Because I can’t even process the experience in order to fully believe it myself!  This started as an ‘event type’ which I have experienced many times in the past 10+ years,  and which has always ended with a call to the vet and ‘crossing the dog over’.  This past week,  has been a ‘see it to …

Paralysis Support Program

A Natural Approach for Paralysis and Mobility Issues Help, my Pet is Paralyzed or Immobile, what do I do???? Very frequently, I hear from people whose animals have become paralyzed or immobile. Often it’s voicemails, where the owners are distraught, pleading for help. Conversations with people, in which I ‘feel’ their despair. This is a devastating event to endure.

Pancho, a Chihuahua Cinderella Story. I’d like to share the story of sweet little Pancho, down with dog paralysis, as told by his Mom, Lorraine. On Oct 31 2014, our precious little puppy Chihuahua, Pancho,  fell off the arm of our leather couch hitting his head and back on the glass end table.

Bella and her Paralysis story

My Bella, her IVDD & Paralysis, and Her Recovery. I’ll begin by telling you about myself, and how I came across NZYMES®, what they are, and where it’s all lead to.   I believe everything happens for a reason, and when our ‘path’ is laid before us, it is an incredible journey to follow.   ? It started on December 1, 2012 when my one dog Bella, suffered a paralysis.  We found out she had IVDD, and that there was really …
