Hi Dr. Getty. Just wanted to let you know received Cash and Whiskey's supplements I ordered from you and can't wait to start them on it. Whiskey has been very mopey this week, started Mon. with his Uveitis flaring up, but got started right on the eye drops and it looks much better. So tonight I'm gonna start him on his Ration Plus so hopefully he will benefit from it. I'll keep you posted, and again your a life saver

Hi Vicky,
Are you giving him a good multiple vitamin/mineral supplement? Because of his eye, it is very important that his immune function be maintained. Accel Lifetime will assist with this. Or, if you are already using a vitamin/mineral supplement, you can add Immusyn to it. Here are the links: Accel Lifetime and Immusyn
Keep me posted!

Hi Vicky,
That's true -- he likely is, if you are feeding the recommended amount. Actually, the best bet would be to provide Immusyn while you are treating his eye. My goal is to boost his ability to fight this infection.
Best regards,
Dr. Getty
