Suitability of French maritime pine polyphenol for small dogs

We always send a frank reply.

Some pets that take French maritime pine polyphenol are cured, while for others, it doesn't work...

This is the truth.

Thank you for your phone call today.

I even went to the hospital twice today, in the morning and in the evening.
My dog has a weak stomach, and it seems that that was what was causing trouble this time.
The vet gave him a steroid injection in the evening.

Even then, he didn't get better.
Right now, he is sitting with his back rounded...that is always an indication that he isn't feeling well.

He is very sensitive to what he eats, so is it possible that 2 pills were too much?

A healing reaction would not last this long, would it?
If it were a healing reaction, he/she might vomit, but then would act as if nothing had happened, right?

He is sitting with a rounded back and his head hanging so low that it almost touches the floor...
It's so pitiful...
If his condition doesn't improve, there is no hope of Pinfenon helping him recover, is there?

This is from ○○. You sent me a sample of French maritime pine polyphenol the other day.

The minute I gave it to him, he vomited it up; thank you for the email and phone call.

Later, he was feeling better and was full of life last week, so I was enthusiastic about getting him started on French maritime pine polyphenol...but then his condition worsened again.

He coughs a lot and has no appetite and no energy, so I took him to the hospital today.

As expected, his kidney values were up.

His BUN was up to 127.9, but the vet said that it was still all right because the CRE was within the reference range.

I feel sorry for him because he is always lying down, but when things get under control, I want to try giving him French maritime pine polyphenol. I was told to start with half a pill, since the last time the dose was too great, but would the French maritime pine polyphenol be affected in an undesirable way if I cut the pill in half and give the remaining half the next day?

I am ○○. I ordered a sample from you before.

I tried the sample right away, but my dog wasn't well and vomited, and I had to take him to the vet for several days.

Since then, there have been ups and downs in his/her condition...
It is hard to keep him well.

He has an enlarged heart and severe pulmonary edema; the treatment for that brought on acute renal failure, and his BUN has remained consistently in the three digit range.

He coughs a lot, due to his heart and trachaea problems and is also taking a hormone drug.

He is taking a vasodilator and a diuretic, along with a carbon supplement for the kidneys called Nefguard, as well as a hormone drug and a steroid for which the hospital gave me a prescription.

I also thought about supplements and was searching here and there on the Internet.

And then I came across the home page for French maritime pine polyphenol...

Now I have a question: There are many cases of people saying it was effective for heart disease, but does it work for kidney disease?

My dog is also taking hormones (Could he/she have Addison's disease?) and has a weak stomach, so he sometimes has inflammation of the bowels.

Would Pinfenon be right for my pet?

Another thing I'd like to ask about: Reading experiences having to do with French maritime pine polyphenol, I noticed that one owner had written that a vet had told him that it would be all right to use Pinfenon, provided that it didn't contain (sodium chlorite, phosphorous, or protein.

I am wondering just what French maritime pine polyphenol is.

There are other companies on the Internet offering supplements with things like sodium and protein, aren't there?

Would you also please explain about the healing reaction that can occur with French maritime pine polyphenol ?

I would appreciate your answering these 3 questions because I want to feel convinced about what is best for my dear cute dog.

I am ○○, the person who has sent you a number of emails in the past few days.

Thank you for your answer.
I have been using plastic wrap on the French maritime pine polyphenol and keeping half of a pill to give to my dog the next day.
I am considering starting to give him a whole pill soon.


Oh, yes, I am sending this by cell phone. ^_^;
I apologize for writing such long messages by cell phone.

When I sit down at my computer, my dog unfailingly gets up--I don't know why.
No matter how soundly he was sleeping, he wakes up...

So because I feel bad about waking him up, I have been sending a lot of email from my cell phone...(LOL)

Thank you for the easy-to-understand explanation about the supplements for humans.
The ones meant for animals are more effective...

I was surprised because someone at a supplement company I previously ordered from was strongly urging me to use the supplements for humans.

Still, I understood the explanation in your answer and am no longer concerned.
Thank you.
(So, basically, that means I, too, could take French maritime pine polyphenol intended for animal use, right? (*^_^*))

The other day, I was very pleased to spot a soft drink that contained French maritime pine bark extract and bought some.

I had never heard of that ingredient before, but I came across it again in yesterday's newspaper, in an ad for cosmetics...
Thanks to you, I already knew about it and somehow felt very pleased.

On Monday of last week, for the first time in a long time, the BUN was down to a figure in the 80s, but a blood test on Friday showed it to be back up to 108(?)...

It was a shock...

I am hoping that somehow my dog will like French maritime pine polyphenol and can keep taking it.
