Donna has shivering and PSSM2. With the hemp seeds and hemp sticks she feels generally better, is more relaxed and clearly more willing to perform in training.
After Donna was tested positive for PSSM2 in October 2021 - in addition to her long known Shivering diagnosis - and the first change of feed brought little to no change, I started the next attempt half a year later (March 2022). I dealt more intensively with the topic of "feeding", scurried into the subject meticulously and, after initial discussions with a feed/nutritionist, went on her recommendation, among other things, on the search for hemp products. By chance, I actually came across the products of the seewinkler hemp factory and already now I would like to anticipate and can certainly say:
The products are in our daily feeding no longer to be imagined without!
Initially, I fed only the hemp seeds. Since the acceptance was surprisingly good with Donna as a small Mäkeltante, I dared to also approach the hemp sticks. At first, of course, my plan did not work (would have been too much of a good thing :D) and she spit them out again and refused them. I then simply started no more feeding attempts for about 1 week and then tried it again - and lo and behold: Since then she really devours them! This shows once again: Sticking with it and not giving up is worth it - and always! Now I feed the hemp sticks mainly as a healthy and tasty treat.
The result of the hemp feeding with Donna
Overall, I have the impression that Donna is more alert and relaxed and shows an increased willingness to perform in training. She is also a lot calmer and more balanced, in the past she was much more stressed by the smallest things, downright panic-stricken.
I think we are on the right track. I hope that with time she will finally build up muscles (she is basically quite slim built and generally has difficulties building up muscles due to her two myopathies) and that I will see even more contentment and mental and physical well-being in her eyes.
Even though we are of course still relatively at the beginning, especially with regard to the optimal feeding, the hemp products, of whose effect I am completely convinced, are a great support for Donna, because the most important thing is: they do her good!
Of course I can't say 100% which additives (and there are some) are responsible for the positive changes in her character, but I am very sure that it is the overall constellation and therefore the hemp products have their share.
And a special thank you in the end:
Last but not least, I would like to mention the extremely great customer service. At this point a very special THANK YOU to Elli !!! Uncomplicated, accommodating, fast, super friendly, then also the extra portion of hemp sticks (Donna was of course very happy and also says THANK YOU), just great, which in this day and age is by far no longer a matter of course.
With every order is for me - of course, in addition to the products - the handwritten thank you card an absolute highlight. Everything is packaged with so much attention to detail. You really notice, here are people who do the whole thing out of pure passion.
You can tell I'm thrilled! The next orders are guaranteed.
Seewinkler Hemp Factory - an absolute heart recommendation!
Your Laura and Donna Actoria
