I wanted to provide you an update. It has now been two months since our last order.
Shasta, the eleven year old male neutered Golden Retriever, has been doing excellent since his surgical removal of the fibrosarcoma tumor adjacent to his left eye. He continues to receive the standard dosage of Maritime Bark Extract and Fibrosarcoma support. He just received an excellent checkup from his veteranarian. His energy and spirit levels continue to be very high.
Austin, the eight year old male neutered Golden Retriever with epilepsy, has been successfully weaned off Potassium Bromide and is on standard dosage of EP and Maritime Bark Extract. At your suggestion, I reduced the Potassium Bromide over a two week period. A few days after that, Austin began to display precursors of an epileptic attack (head pain, anxiety, and restlessness).
I added Episodic to his regimen. The symptoms disappeared after three or four days without Austin experiencing a seizure (that we know of), and I stopped administering EP Episodic three days after that. Since then, Austin has been indication-free. Furthermore, his energy and spirit levels have increased dramatically, now that the Potassium Bromide has been eliminated from his system. As with Shasta, he received an excellect checkup from the veteranarian. In fact, the vet was pleased that we have found an alternative treatment for his epilepsy.
In retrospect, the only thing I may do differently would be to wean Austin off Potassium Bromide over a three week period, instead of two. However, this will surely vary from dog to dog.
Again, thank you for your products and support. We are very pleased on all accounts.
Best regards,
Gary Maxwell
