Question
My poor bullie has been given a dx of only 1 year to live to maybe 1.5 years. He is 11 months today. They said that all 4 valves are going to not function soon. He is fine right now and I just watch to make sure he does not get too excited... Are there any supplements/nutrients that you could recommend to perhaps, just keep him healthly/ relaxed or something to help him enjoy his time with us?  

Answer
Hello April, I am so sorry to hear this sad news about your bullie kid. Yes, with good supplements and lots of love, he can have a Great quality of life!

Follow your Vet's advice on any medications that may be needed.  Also, in the future he may need a water pill to reduce any excess fluids around the valves.

I would love to see him on the NuVET Plus Immune system booster / this is wonderful and we have had many very ill doggies do very well.  NuVET will boost the immune system and help to make him stronger.
Here is the ordering info:

Also, there are a number of other supplements I can offer: In order to do this I would need a list of medications your bullie is taking.
