Jasper update

Post by tlwright21 » 19 Jul 2021, 12:11

I took Jasper in today for his biweekly B12 shot. Since May 12 when his weight had dropped to a very emaciated 41 lbs., he has gained over 10 lbs and is within 2lbs from where he was before he got sick. he is back to eating his usual 4 cups a day. Its almost miraculous how quickly things turned around after he started getting the enzymes. normal poop, normal appetite, normal dog, sort of. :D

That is wonderful news, Tony. You have done an amazing job of balancing everything. Congratulations to both of you. It's a great feeling, isn't it. When we tell people it will happen, i know many people can't believe their dog will ever be healthy again. Jasper is one more example that it can and does happen. Thank you for sharing the good news.
