Guinness
“Our now 9 year old Chocolate Lab, “Guinness,” started to lose a tremendous amount of weight about six months ago. He dropped from a healthy, muscular 82 lbs to 71 lbs over a period of two weeks. There were no signs initially of any digestive distress, so our Vet was perplexed. Soon after, he started having horrible, yellow, smelly, mushy stools – and then he went off his food entirely. Before we knew it, he was skin and bones, and it looked like he was dying right in front of us. Everything snowballed from there. He was weak, could barely walk at times, his coat was dull and falling out – it was horrible. After more X-rays and ultrasounds, the consensus was either cancer of the gut, pancreatitis, or IBD. He was put on several antibiotics and prednisone for weeks. He improved slightly, but the drugs were having a horrible effect on his overall health. A heart murmur developed out of nowhere, and he started coughing – and the Vet was worried about congestive heart failure. We were out of our minds trying to help our poor, formerly healthy dog!! We decided to make radical changes to his diet and get him off ALL the drugs. Then, after doing a ton of research, stumbled upon pancreatic enzymes for dogs with pancreatitis or EPI. We figured, “what have we got to lose?” Our dog is dying in front of our eyes, and our Vet keeps prescribing a low fat diet that isn’t working and more steroids. We first tried some supplements I found at a local store, and they helped slightly. We then found Pan-tenex, read all the info we could find, and then called and talked to the owner. After 30 minutes on the phone getting all our questions answered, we ordered a jar. All we can say is, after only three days, Guinness started to show signs of improvement!. His horrible, yellow stools started to look normal again. His energy level began to increase! We then switched him to a raw diet, and the combination of raw with Pan-tenex has restored our dog’s health! His weight is now 80 lbs and his coat is shiny. His allergies have also disappeared! Needless to say, we are THRILLED he’s now off ALL the drugs, and he’s thriving on his new diet and Pan-tenex! We will stay on course and hope he continues to return to the boy we thought we’d never see again.”
