Max Testimonial; incontinence, diarrhea and constipation

Here's a new testimonial from one of our clients in the Chicago area:

In October 2010 I contacted you for help with my Max a 10 yo male cat that had been on progressively increasing doses of medication for both his bowels and bladder. His episodes of incontinence and alteration between severe constipation and profound diarrhea had been increasing for about 2 years. The last episode was coming home to finding that Max laying in a huge stool, and that he had defecated all over the house, and urinated in 3 different areas in a period of 4 hours; it was so bad that I had even asked the doctor if I was doing the wrong thing by keeping him alive. The vet had no answer for me. This is a very kind vet, she also sees my other four legged children and I do trust her. Max was given fluids and antibiotics, and he seemed to start moving around a little better. I found our next step was a colonoscopy - which would be thousands.

Once I contacted Alisa, we made some rather simple adjustments. We changed his diet, added pumpkin, added a couple of supplements, changed his cat litter, and waited. I did not want to put him down; when he is well he plays and snuggles. He greets me at the door, and says hi to all my visitors - even snuggling them. He is generally a happy cat, and a pleasure to be with. I had not seen my sweet Max's personality in probably a year. So I am so pleased to tell you that we have not had an accident in almost 1 month (when in distress we were having accidents 3 times per week). Max is defecating regularly. I have been able to decrease his medications by half. - which is a substantial cost savings (when I am having a pharmacy in AZ compounding Cisapride for him - which was taken off the human market for side effects) His Amitriptyline remains the same, his lactulose has been decreased by half. - and his bowels are more predictable.

Max has progressively started acting better. his abdomen is no longer bloated. He has gone from 19lb to 18lb - he could loose another pound without a problem. Last night he was playing and socializing again - like he used to. He is snuggly again. He is back to my old Max. My life no longer revolves around his bowels and bladder - and I am not entertaining the idea of putting him down any longer.

Thank you
