Zoey & The Missing Link!


Before the Missing Link Zoey After

http://www.missinglinkproducts.com/articles1-588/ZOEYTheChihuahua

My 3 year old Chihuahua has a lot of health problems, skin allergies, hydrocephalus, joint problems, color dilution alopecia, and chihuahua pattern baldness. I have had her on The Missing Link Canine Plus formula for two months now. She is doing great on it! She is actually growing hair on her neck, chest, and stomach where she's NEVER had hair! She is also not as itchy and isn't licking her front legs nearly as much with the allergies.

I work for a Veterinarian and we just started carrying the Veterinary Formula. It's truly an amazing product! Thank you! Zoey likes it so well that she takes it right out of the spoon! Although I normally mix it right in with her food.

Ducky Goose Update

Well we FINALLY got Ducky Goose's blood tests ran. She is in GREAT shape for a 14 year old cat, she has a slightly elevated white blood count which is due to her chronic nasal infection from allergies, she also is slightly anemic and has an elevated eosinophil count. She has a heart rate of 300-400 which is REALLY REALLY fast. So her diagnosis is Hyperthyroidism. You can find out more information about it here:

For now Ducky Goose is going on the Methimazole tablets, starting off on a low dose of 1.25mg every day, then it will be increased in about 2 weeks. We will be monitoring her heart rate as well. She is also on Cosequin & Rimadyl (off-label) for her arthritis, as well as the Missing Link supplement every day. Oh we also discovered she has a bladder infection so she's going on Amoxi & Vetalog.

DeeJay's still sick....


So DeeJay has been acting 'off' all weekend. She hasn't been as 'noisy' hasn't been bringing us 'creatures' to bed, has been sleeping on the satellite receiver box off & on and has been squinting with her eyes. We Grandpa says that her bladder infection has gotten worse, it's not involving her kidneys, as well as her upper respiratory tract, so we are going to make ABSOLUTELY sure we get her meds into her twice a day for a week, then she's also getting eye drops. Which for DeeJay is QUITE the challenge. SHE HATES eye drops, it literally takes either sneaking up on her or having dad hold her tight as he can while mom attempts it. It's NOT FUN.

Zoey's food

So since Zoey takes so many supplements/medications/vitamins each day, in order for it NOT to take an hour each time I feed her I basically prepare her meals each week, once a week and add all vitamins/pills/supplements to it:.

Before the food
During the food, Zoey watches
The Finished portion...she gets 2 Teaspoons of dry food (Innova mixed with Solid Gold) twice daily.
Eating the Missing Link right out of the spoon! She loves that stuff!

Office Cats

At work (Camelot Pet Resort) we have 4 office kitties who grace us with their presence:
Jasmine aka Jazzy or Jazzy Eleanore Louise who is 9 years old. She came in as a stray with a broken leg. She was very sweet so we kept her.

Tabitha (Tabby cat) 9 years old. One of our former employees bottle raised her, then had some kids and Tabby didn't like the kids so Tabby came back, we had her up for adoption fo ra few months and no takers, so we started letting her run around and immediately got many offers! Tabby's favorite thing to do is to play with paper clips, she pulls them out of their container and chews on them and bats them around (she NEVER swallows) just likes to play with them.

Tiki who is now 5 years old. She is a Black Smoke kitty, which is where the grey undercoat shows through the black/smokish topcoat. She came in through a rescue almost a year to the day that we put Greaser to sleep who Tiki resembles strongly.

Alvin who is a 2year old handsome boy! He was actually adopted then got an infection in his paw and the tissue died so we had to amputate his toes/paw, his owners didn't want him after that. He is the BEST office cat, very sweet, loving and VERY VERY nurturing to little kitties and animals in distress. (He was a mother in one of his other lives! LOL).
