Sissy, a Schnauzer and Dachshund mix, came into Ellen's Kentucky rescue at two and a half, given up by her owners for barking too much. Ear infections, hair loss and a funny odor came first. The day after her heartworm medicine, the fly-biting started.
“She no longer has the 'funny' smell and that was just 2 weeks ago.
I'm hopeful that she will recover completely over time.”
Ellen wrote to us on December 28, 2011. "Hi, my name is Ellen and I run a 501(c)(3) rescue called LAPS. Sissy came into the rescue about 2 months ago, after being thrown away by her owners for barking too much."
"First, we had a really hard time getting rid of her ear infection and back into a healthy state. After two vet visits, ear medications and obviously better food, her hair came back but she still had a funny odor. To top it off, the next day after giving her her heartworm medicine, she started fly biting seizures."
"I did research on the internet and found Nzymes.com. We started her on the Nzymes Antioxidant Treats and the fly biting she had reduced to only when she is stressed now. She no longer has the 'funny' smell and that was just 2 weeks ago. I'm hopeful that she will recover completely over time."
A fly-biting dog snaps at the air as if catching flies no one else can see, sometimes staring into space first. Vets don't all agree on the cause; some treat it as a focal seizure. It deserves a full vet workup, and if it starts right after a new medication, as Sissy's did, tell your vet the timing. For the common triggers at home, start with What Causes Seizures in Dogs?.
Today we pair the Treats with Tracite Minerals as the Back to Balance Bundle: the Treats for the body's own defenses, the minerals for what most dog food leaves out. For a small dog like Sissy, the Small Dogs bundle comes with Tiny Treats.
Thank you Nzymes for helping Ms. Sissy become all that she can be.
Fly-biting, staring spells, and odd twitches can be hard to put a name to. Book a free consultation and tell us what you're seeing, when it started, and anything that changed just before. Rescues and fosters are welcome; we work with them often.

Sissy's rescue used the Antioxidant Treats on their own. Today the Treats come paired with Tracite Minerals as the Back to Balance Bundle, with an interactive guide sent to your inbox after purchase. Diet comes first: the interactive guide includes our recommended foods guide. Dogs under 25 pounds, like Sissy, get Tiny Treats.
See the Back to Balance Bundle →Every order comes with our 120-Day Worry-Free Guarantee, free customer care from a small family team, and formulas built on over twenty-five years of work: support for your dog's own body, from the inside.
Sissy's story is shared with her rescue's permission. It's one dog's experience, not a guaranteed result and not a substitute for veterinary care. Nzymes products are nutrition that supports your dog's own body, not a treatment for seizures, epilepsy, or any disease. Never stop or change a prescribed anti-convulsant without your vet. Every dog is different and individual results may vary.
