We have had a very rough year with Marvin and struggled to get his skin condition under control. He started having skin problems in March 2005 at 5 years old. We had allergy tests done but they were a load of shit to be honest........... we have all frozen to death for a couple of months because I refused to have the heating on just in case it was the heat that might have been causing him bother........... I have confined Marvin to just one room in the house and scrubbed it daily and boiled all bedding daily to no avail...... I have changed his diet...........I have thrown the settee out........... I have bathed him every other day.........I have given all sort of supplements and natural products........... he has been on antibiotics and also been without antibiotics.........and I have also gone through a bit where I have done bugger all...........and NOTHING changed!!!

We saw a specialist dermatologist in March this year but other than put him on a long term course of antibiotics there was nothing she could suggest - she did at one point suggest it could be a brain tumour that was causing the problem!!

The skin problem itself I could learn to live with but it's the fact that he was also very ill that was getting me down, he was eating better than he ever had(always been a choosy bugger) but the weight was falling off him and he had no muscle tone at all (he now weights 27 kg....always been a steady 32kg), at one point he could'nt cock his leg for a pee, he smells badly and his eyes are constantly full of green puss................

Here are some pictures of Marvin at his worst (please note that he was having treatment at this point), big weeping sores were breaking out all over him....

We had put all our hopes into the specialist but soon realised that she was unable to help Marvin, in the back of my mind I had now resigned myself to allow Marvin to be realeased from this misery - how could I watch him suffer like this every day???............

Then a friend (Wendy Whittaker) that I see at shows mentioned some herbal treatment to help Marvin, I must admit to having felt quite sceptical about it to begin with as we had already tried so many things only to have our hopes dashed but neverless I phoned the company(Herbaticus) that Wendy had suggested and spoke to a lovely lady called Fanny Philbert.......I ordered the herbal remedies she reccommended but to be truthfull it was our last resort.

This is Marvin only 9 days after starting Herbaticus treatment..... note how healthy and pink his skin is, no soreness.

walking along the beach a couple of weeks after starting treatment...Marvin

And here are a few 6 weekks after starting on Herbaticus...

Herbaticus have definately been a life line for Marvin and I can't thank Wendy enough for her suggestion.

Marvin has now been on Herbaticus for 2 months and it has improved his quality of life immensly but is not a quick fix remedy, he still has set backs and still struggles with sore feet and eyes but I have true faith that he will get throught all this.

I will update this page regularly.
