Bobby is a happy, 7-year-old fluffy male with a great love for walking, cuddling and… sticks. But behind his lively character lies an intense story of resilience and hope.

A Young Life with Epilepsy

Bobby has been struggling with epilepsy and head tremors since he was two years old. His seizures were severe and came in clusters – dangerous series that he had difficulty breaking out of. Despite a cocktail of heavy medication (including Phenoral, Kepra, Libromide, diazepam and gabapentin), he continued to have weekly seizures.

His boss decided not to give up and looked for a broader approach. Thus began Bobby's journey towards a holistic approach in which CBD, acupuncture and Chinese herbs would play a central role.

More Than Just the Brain

It was striking that Bobby often started eating excessively many chopsticks just before an attack. His intestines had been giving problems for some time: diarrhea and sensitive digestion. Classical diet food did not provide sufficient relief. There appeared to be a deeper imbalance in the body - according to Chinese medicine in the liver, colon, pancreas, spleen, gall bladder, stomach and brain.

A Multidisciplinary Approach

In consultation with a holistic veterinarian, the choice was made for:

• Chinese herbal formulas such as Gastrodia , which support the neurological system

• L-Glutamine to support the intestinal wall

• CBD Spain oil Carlotta 10% , supplemented with CBDA and CBGA oil 10%

• Acupuncture as a regulating and balancing therapy

• And perhaps most importantly, freshly cooked food , tailored to his unique needs

The Turning Point

After six months, his digestion improved dramatically. The head tremors disappeared completely. And although he is still on medication - which is necessary given his history - Bobby now tolerates it remarkably well.

The frequency of his epileptic seizures has been reduced to one mild seizure every two months , lasting no more than a minute. What a difference!

The Power of Synergy

What makes Bobby's story so special is not one miracle cure. It is the combination of insights from Western and Eastern medicine, natural supplements, nutrition and a dedicated owner that makes the difference.

Acupuncture and CBD prove to be a golden duo in Bobby's case. CBD supports the nervous system and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Acupuncture ensures better energy flow, harmonizes the organs and contributes to reducing stress - a known trigger for epilepsy.

A Hopeful Prospect

The expectation is that the attacks may decrease even further in the future. But what is certain: Bobby now has a much better quality of life. And that is what you want for every dog.
