| Gizmo is famous! Probably going to get alot of heat for this post, but as most of you know Gizmo has had alot of gastro issues. At my wits end, I finally caved to the personal recommendations of some close friends and took him to a holistic vet. Normally I wouldn't have stepped foot in anything deemed "holistic" comgin from a background of quite a few health issues, but I've tried everything else and figured it couldn't hurt. It turned out a reporter was there and asked if it was okay that she wrote an article about the exam and what not. So here he is, famous Gizmo!

| I liked it alot. At first I was like "Bull.." fill in the blank. But Gizmo hasn't had a problem since we started doing what they recommended. It's been since mid October (exception for the food strike when my brother gave Gizmo turkey) and he hasn't had an issue. So I figure as long as it works for him, I don't see a problem.

| Gizmo is a celebrity. I dont blame you for going to a holistic vet. If one of my dogs was having ongoing problems i would try all angles, There is nothing shameful about it. I hope you find some relief and understanding into Gizmos digestive problems

| Its great that you are able to keep an open mind,in order to help your baby live a better life. I havent checked into holistic vet care but I would be willing if one of my animals was miserable. |

| Glad he's doing better! Holistic stuff seems to work when other methods have failed, and as far as I know, will do no harm (so that's a step ahead of conventional medicine right there!!) I'm glad that you've opened up to trying it and that Gizmo is starting to feel better now. Way to go on the article!!

| If you go to Rocco's Pet Depot on 21 and Hayes, they'll give you a referral and I think our evaluation was like 35 dollars?
