Broccoli 3 years ago I had a little yorkie poo who got a broken foot at the groomer. She was put in a cast, and because of her age (16 yrs old) The vet wanted to X-ray her in 1 week to see if anything was happening or not in there. He said she would probably need calcium . Well her FAVORITE food was Broccoli and I know it's full of calcium so I gave her about 1/2 tsp of Broccoli 2 times a day. When I took her back in a week for the X-ray the vet could not believe his eyes, he called all the employees into the room to show them her 1st and 2nd X-rays. He asked me if I had put her on calcium and I told him about the Brocccoli. He said that had to be why she healed so fast because old dogs normally need calcium supplement to heal a broken bone. He told me to come back in 3 or 4 days , and he took her cast off. So total she had her cast for 11 days and never had any trouble with that foot for the rest of her life. |
