All-natural pet medicines can work wonders.
New York - Jun 9, 2004 (PRN): The German Shepherd was lying
on an old couch, all alone. He glared at his rescuers with
an all too familiar look of pain and suffering. This would
be the start of a journey that would change their lives forever.
The dog was clearly quite ill. He was emaciated and his staggered
gait revealed the depth of his disease. A veterinarian confirmed
he was suffering from severe hip dysplasia and a serious heart
defect. Taking 10 steps would cause his gums and tongue to
turn blue due to lack of oxygen—on top of the severe pain
he felt from his hip deformity. Due to the malnourishment,
heart defect and other unknowns, he was expected to live only
two weeks.
The normal solution to hip dysplasia is orthopedic surgery.
However, this was not an option, due to the risk of heart
failure under anesthesia. Worse, pain relievers caused him
to vomit.
His owner, Bobbi Jo Swartz, found a doctor who specialized
in natural pain remedies for humans. She got the doctor to
agree to try these remedies with dogs—as Europeans had been
doing for a decade.
Swartz is not alone. “In the past 24 months, 51 percent of
pet owners have switched to buying more natural products for
their pets,” she says. “They now check ingredients for harmful
chemicals.”
Now a company called By Vets Only, Inc. has introduced a
canine pain reliever called Petaprin™. Composed of natural
ingredients—green-lipped mussel, skullcap, turmeric, rosemary,
green tea, holy basil and feverfew—the ingredients have a
combination of anti-inflammatory, which relieves pain, and
glucosamine, properties which add lubrication to the joints,
keeping them from grinding together and causing pain.
Sportswriter Chick Ludwig tested it out on his 9-year-old
black toy poodle, Ellie. He reported that when she started
taking Petaprin, she practically burst into life.
