Seven years ago I adopted a 4yr old cat by the name of Elvis, from the Ontario Humane Society. While in the shelter (although a vaccinated cat surrendered to the shelter by his owners) he contracted feline viral rhinotracheitis and within three days of coming home he had developed full blown pnuemonia. It took several months of veterinary care and antibiotics, but Elvis recovered fully. However, he was left with a chronic upper respiratory weakness and has small flare ups from time to time. A year and a half ago, Elvis succumbed to another full blown attack of FVR >> he went missing for five days and some local children found him and brought him home ..... close to death.

The vet treated him initially but then recommended that I euthanize him because she said he wasn't going to recover and had developed liver failure from not eating while being too sick to do so. I went to visit him to say goodbye and elected to bring him home .... "at least for a day". Having had 14yrs past experience, working in the veterinary field, I knew in my heart that he didn't have liver failure yet, but rather, had "fatty liver" from anorexia And I knew that I could get him to eat again and turn the corner back to health. But what to do about this chronic infection that was threatening his life?? Sure, antibiotics would clear up this attack, and they did, and he did recover ..... but he can't take antibiotics for the rest of his life, and I worried about when the next flare up would be, how severe would it be, and could he survive another serious attack.

That's when I heard about your product. A friend heard an interview on CBC Radio and ordered some for her cats who also have chronic upper respiratory problems, and she told me about it. I immediately ordered some for Elvis. To make a long story short >> Elvis is still with me a year and a half after his near death experience with FVR, and despite the vet declaring that he would not survive and should be euthanized. He just celebrated his 11th birthday on December 22, 2004. Medi-Paws has kept the chronic upper respiratory infection under control. Elvis no longer sneezes constantly or suffers from the ongoing congestion that used to be a normal part of his life. And he isn't just 'surviving' either > he looks great and he feels great. So great in fact, that he has returned to his career as a 'working cat' Just yesterday he worked on a television show!

Our five-year old Pomeranian, Abby, began losing her hair in June, 2003. A number of medications were administered in an attempt to re-grow her hair. None were effective and, in fact, Abby continued to lose her hair in alarming amounts. We placed her on Medi-Paws in October, 2003, and within two weeks, her hair loss stopped. Four months later, Abby has a full coat of thick hair.

Melanie,

Pugsley is an elderly pug who apart from being pretty much deaf and blind has been obviously troubled recently with stiffness in the joints. Pugs are not great walkers but even so it was becoming tough to get her on the move. This in only about a month has brought about quite an objective improvement in her quality of life. She is bright eyed and alert and her coat is now improving. Mainly though its that she is much more active and wants to walk again and sniff all the mysteries that dogs love to pursue. I perhaps need not add that it pleases me immensly that her declining years may have been lightened by regular use.
Thanks so much,

While walking with my husband one winter morning,they both slipped on the ice and fell,--- Hunter tore ligaments in his knee on the Rt. hind leg.The Vet put him on anti-inflammatory's.They did nothing.They then suggested that he have surgery.On April 29/03 he had his surgery.Once he was through his convalesence period and began walking again,we noticed he started limping again.We thought either the rod or the pins were dislodged.After a few x-rays, the Vet told us everything was in place, but, he suspected torn cartilage.Once again on May 18/04, he was operated on to repair the torn cartilage.The Vet then suggested that we put him on Glucosamine Sulfate pills because he also has arthritis in his hip.Instead, we decided to try the Medi-paws.He does not limp anymore, in fact, you wouldn't even know that he had surgery,to look at him.
We even had the man that baths him, ask us what we were doing because his coat is shinier and softer, and a neighbor lady (who has dogs) asked us the same thing because she noticed his coat was shinier.
