Remember our emaciated maltese,

Dog Dog? We took him for a vet check on 7 Sep upon a report from a concerned member who saw him and his owner at a coffeeshop. When we first saw him, he was very thin, a mere 3 kg. With bones jutting out so uncomfortably, he was not too nice for cuddles.

After a week at the clinic, Dog Dog gained 1 full kg. Not much by sight but it felt very different when you run your hands down his body. Now you don't get bumpy ridges that badly.

Found some time to visit him last Sat and was glad to see him as active and keen as before. He is looking well, with good appetite, eating just about anything offered. I believe his digestive system has improved after the course of treatment and he can now absorb and retain nutrients better. Thanks ML too forthe digestive enzymes. He can still put on some more weight, another kg is good. Advised and reminded family again on proper nutrition for Dog Dog before I left, trusting that they will uphold their responsibility to Dog Dog more sincerely now.

Thanks for the update on Dog Dog. I was just wondering about him too. Glad to hear he's doing well. Have been keeping him in my prayers, he seems such a sweet, little fella.

hi ceb, this particular bottle is Life Extension's Super Digestive Enzymes - this is a human product. Basic ingredients are Pancreatin, protease, amylase (digest carbo), lipase (digest fat), papain (digets protein). A broad spectrum digestive enzyme formula. You can purchase similar digetsive enzyme formula from any vet clinic. For human formulas, just gotta adjust dosage. But before you decide to feed your pet any new products, better to consult your vet first.
