I
met Amanda from Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy in a haze of tears. It
was Valentines day 2004 and I'd just come home from the Vet with
my Fluffy - who I'd recently adopted from Oldies but Goodies Cocker
Rescue in Northern VA. The vet had just told me Fluffy had a grade
IV heart enlargement and that I'd be lucky if he survived 4 more
months. He was to have no excitement as this would aggravate both
his heart and the terrible gut wrenching cough he'd developed,
no long walks, no special doggie treats…. I hit the internet.
That's where I met Amanda - who not only saved my Fluff's life
but improved my Jussie's too - and not to mention what she did
for me. You see I'd lost two Cockers just 6 months before who'd
been with me for many years and they went to the Rainbow Bridge
on the same day - talk about heartbreak. The thought of losing
another one was pretty much more than I could take - So yes; Amanda
saved me too. She called me and patiently guided me through the
various therapies and remedies, explained diets and how to prepare
them and educated me on the healing properties of L-Carnitine
and Taurine and superfoods (dog greens), ginger, cayenne pepper
and heart tonic. She sat on the phone with me for two hours. As
soon as I hung up I picked up my poor little coughing wheezie
boy and immediately started him on the hot and cold water spray,
leaving him in front of the fire to dry off and stay warm I then
went to the store and bought up all the fresh ingredients I could
find - the dogs ate better than I did!! Amanda express shipped
me everything I needed to start the healing program so I could
give him a jump start on getting better.....
I'm happy to report that six months later not only have
both my dog's health
and quality of life improved - they are a couple of little monkeys...
into EVERYTHING, constantly up under my feet, chasing up and down
the 32 stairs we have in our new home in Germany , and after that
first week I've never heard him cough since.
I can never express how truly grateful I am to Amanda but I'm
very happy to tell the world that I've got two of happiest healthiest
"Oldies but Goodies" and a wonderful new friend in Amanda.
God Bless you Amanda - you have my undying appreciation for your
selfless efforts on our behalf.
