As a physician of God's Creatures, it is my responsibility to do all that I can to improve the quality of life for our furry friends. In that time, I have had the opportunity to work with many of the top dogs in the United States. I work with a variety of breeds and my biggest challenge has always been in keeping the proper weight and muscle tone. He was overweight and hard to tone. Pets tend to respond more quickly than people to nutrient supplements.
Animals seem to become 'rejuvenated'.
I have a 17 year old Cockatiel named Merlin. She's been ailing with various problems for the last three years or so. First it was a vitamin deficiency, then eye infections and finally a crop infection. It took about a week, but then the listless bird that had sat in the back of her cage with ruffled feathers suddenly came to life. She's like my senior teenager now.
