"I started taking it almost immediately and have made an incredible recovery"
I am a very lucky 12 year old Kelpie girl who lives in Geelong, Victoria. I had a very serious accident about 10 months ago (August 2014). My family took me to the park for a run with my sister Daisie who is also a Kelpie (now 9 years old). Daisie and I were having a sniff around the trees when I decided it was a good idea to run ahead.
All of a sudden, I saw a wooden fence getting closer by the second, so I leaped off the ground to clear the fence but I had jumped too soon. I don't remember much, but I do know my family picked me up and rushed me to the emergency vet. My sister Daisie was very worried about me as she sat on the back seat of the car looking at me. At the emergency vet I tried to walk but kept on falling over.
They let me try and as much as I could by myself to see if I had damaged my spine. I’m a tough old bugger so I got up and staggered around for a while, the vet checked me over and said I had lots of swelling in my back. I was in lots of pain so they gave me an injection and said I had to be under close watch for at least a week.
I went home and slept in a crate, I felt very safe in there. I think Daisie was jealous of my new bed. I went to see my own Dr Fiona the next day, she did X-rays to confirm there was no spinal damage. My family were very relieved and Diasie was pretty happy too.
While I was in my new bed (the crate) for a week my Mum had been reading about Rose-Hip Vital on social media, she though it would help me heal because nothing was more vital than my health. I started taking it almost immediately and have made an incredible recovery. I have taken Rose-Hip Vital every day since that awful day in August last year. I know the anti-inflamatory properties of Rose-Hip Vital helped me get back up, even though I do walk a bit different to Daisie these day. My Mum said I have to keep having the powder on my food now to help my arthritis, she’s right ya know.
Thanks Rose-Hip Vital…….I am looking forward to turning 13 years old in July this year………… woof woof
