Ziggy gives Digestion Program five stars! - McDowell's Herbal Treatments

Ziggy is a rough coated collie - blue merle.

From 7 days old Ziggy was suffering with failure to thrive, he had a chest infection and was placed on numerous courses of various antibiotics and at one stage, was given a 1 out of 5 health score and euthanasia was recommended. He was diagnosed with EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) and put on Creon but this diagnosis was later reversed and he did not have EPI and was taken off Creon.

At 12 weeks old, Ziggy weighed only 5 kg and pretty much everything he ate went straight through him or didn’t even make it that far and got vomited back up. Ziggy had been ‘existing’ on boiled rice and chicken.

I have lost count of the number of vet visits and tests Ziggy has had and, in the end, I was told that he has ‘sensitivities’ and to “find something he can tolerate” and how do I do that and what was it?!

It was when Ziggy was 5 months old and only 9 kg and when we were still struggling to find something he could eat, that we were recommended to consult with McDowells who advised “we can help him to build up his immune system, heal his damaged intestines and aid digestion for a healthy future digestive tract” and that is exactly what they did!

Under the guidance of Nicki, Veterinary Herbalist, and on McDowells treatment program, Ziggy no longer has diarrhoea, no longer vomits and while his diet is still a work in progress (baby steps), we have been able to introduce a variety of vegetables and egg.

Not only did McDowells turn Ziggy’s life around, they restored my sanity and I have no hesitation in recommending their Digestion Support Program to others in a similar situation.

Credit where credit is due...not sure what I would have done without McDowells.
