We rescued Jenkins from a shelter on August 18, 2000. Jenkins
is a ten year old Shih-tzu and was scheduled to be put down
because of his horrible skin and chronic eye and ear
infections. His people loved him and spent thousands on vet
bills trying to heal him, but they had no idea that they
were killing him with all the toxins, steroids, antibiotics
and prescription dog foods their vet was prescribing.

The first thing we did for Jenkins was wash him with
Organix's Neem Oil Pet Shampoo. Because we wanted
intense immediate relief, we added an extra ounce of Cold-
Pressed Neem Oil to the shampoo. We let this sit on his skin
for ten minutes before rinsing. Once he was dried off, we
coated his skin with more neem oil. We repeated this every
day for the first week. By the end of the third day, we
could see a great improvement.
We also began immediately detoxifying him with Nature's Way
Aloe Vera Detox and Organix's Neem Leaf Capsules, one
capsule in his food twice daily. We also started him on a
basic raw diet to figure out what foods he was allergic to.
We started with brown rice, raw chicken, peas and carrots.
This mix worked very well for him.

We have had our set backs with the allergies. Jenkins broke
out in hives with flaxseed, pumpkin and garlic. Each time he
breaks out, it takes about a week with the detoxifier and 2
of Organix's Neem Leaf Capsules daily to get his skin back
to normal.
You should see Jenkins today! Now three months later, he
jumps and plays with his sisters (2, two year old Shih-tzus),
his skin is a healthy pink color, and his hair is starting
to fill back in. His diet is VERY limited. He can have beef
and chicken and most vegetables. He occasionally shares an
apple or banana with me, and eats grapes and baby carrots
for treats. I have taken him off the rice and am slowing
trying to find another filler for his diet. Jenkins still
gets one neem leaf capsule split between two meals every
day. I believe this helps with the fleas (he has none) and
keeps his digestive system on track. Jenkins gets a bath
usually twice a week with Organix's Neem Oil Pet Shampoo
as well. |
