DAISY’S STORY;
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Daisy and I am a thirteen-year-old spayed female lab Doberman mix. I live on a farm with my “brothers” Rupert and Fonzie. Here I take great delight in walking around the hay field, digging for moles, chasing bunnies and, of course, chasing skunks. Although I have some problems that come with my age, regular acupuncture treatments help me cope.
The night of Feb 12th, 2008 my world started spinning and turning upside down.

By morning, I couldn’t get up without help. I walked in circles. My eyes were rolling in my head. It felt like I just rode every roller coaster and all the spinning rides at Great Adventure. What was happening to me ?! I was rushed to my local vet for evaluation. My person was told I was experiencing all the classic symptoms of “old dog” vestibular disease. I spent three days there on fluids and meds to make me comfortable, while the effects of the “disease” ran its course and I started to stabilize. Saturday was my discharge day and I was still in such bad shape that my person wanted to euthanize me thinking I could never recover. They had a “wait and see” attitude so my life was spared. I was immediately taken to Animal Wellness Center for treatment. Once again, my person wanted to euthanize me but Dr. DiLeva persuaded her to give me a chance, as an almost total recovery is possible. It just takes time. Dr. DiLeva treated me with Myofacial release (MFR), reiki, and acupuncture and sent me home with “special” fluids. I was seen every four days for treatment, with moxibustion treatments being added. My progress was slow but Dr. DiLeva and my person never gave up on me, nor did I give up on myself. My person said she didn’t realize how much “personal fortitude” I had to recover.

Today, two months after the onset, I am about 95% my old self. The disease usually leaves some “after effects”. My head tilt is just about gone. I no longer need help getting up or using the stairs. I have a little depth perception problem and sometimes when I shake my head or when I get excited I lose my balance.

My family firmly believes that if it were not for Dr. DiLeva and her healing modalities that I would not have recovered so well. The best part is I once again can sneak a drink from the toilet (when no one is around to see me), I can beg from the table (a nasty habit I learned from Rupert), I can chase skunks (makes my family real happy), and I can once again enjoy my favorite treats (did you ever try to eat something when your head is tilted?). THANK YOU DR. DI LEVA !!!!!!!!!

Cassidy's struggles

"Barbara,
I'm very sorry to hear about your Cassidy's struggles. I hope that her surgery goes well and that she has a
quick recovery.

I wanted to recommend our amazing vet, Dr. Rose DiLeva. Dr. Rose is an accomplished vet in both eastern
and western vet medicine. You can find Dr Rose via her web site which is http://altpetdoc.com.

I cannot express how wonderful it was to take our rabbit, October J, to Dr Rose in the last weeks of his
life. He was vibrant to the very end, and I believe it was due, in part, to Dr Rose. She was an incredible
provider for October J's well being as well as ours. Each appointment left us feeling hopeful for his
future and energized to see this whole process--even his passing--as something that we could experience at
every level with courage, love, grace and dignity.

All of my friends who go to her for the care of their companion animals feel similarly. She has helped some
friend's dogs overcome cancer, others relieve joint pain or just the struggles of age. And all of these
beloved animals, in living and dying, have been held in the grace, love, hope, and support of not only
their human companions, but of this great doctor and her awesome staff. Truly, she helped us offer our best
to these wonderful companion animals in every moment, with love and clarity.

I cannot say enough about how great Dr. Rose is, and how thankful I am to have taken my sweet rabbit there.
I hope that you find help and hope there, too.

Many blessings on your family in this time!
In love and hope,
Jenifer"

Dear Dr. Di Leva,
My husband brought our young Doberman bitch to you for acupuncture for her false pregnancy.
You happened to notice that her underbelly was very red and sore looking. You gave my husband a container of skin salve that he said you had developed yourself (DrRosesRemedies) It worked wonders and the
redness was almost gone in a couple of days.
Thanks again.

"Dr. Rose's Healing Salve
Dr. DiLeva,
As one of your employees, I have been fortunate enough to watch your healing salve work miracles on many animals, some of which would be euthanized if something wasn't found to help them soon. Given that experience, I obviously use it on all four of my animals for scratches, rashes, itchy ears, tick bites, and incisions. It always helps them feel better and heal more quickly. As a veterinary technician, I acquire my share of scratches and cuts on the job, as well as at home. The salve helps me just as well! Scratches heal faster and don't itch as they normally would. A few months ago, I received a bad scratch on my face from a large breed puppy who runs about 85 pounds. We thought it might need stitches, but I just applied your salve repeatedly throughout the day, and it healed up within about a week! I don't even have a scar!

Technician friends at other veterinary hospitals are now hooked on your salve as well. One in particular raves about it not only for her many cats, but for herselfl! My husband is an avid cyclist, and I think this product would be ideal for saddle sores and the road rash they sometimes get on long rides or from falls. I've also spoken to a friend who runs a farm nearby for use on the horses in her care. And your salve is a must in our first aid kits. The uses are truly endless! And once a person has seen the results on their animals, it doesn't take them long to make the connection that they will benefit from using it too!

Thank you for inventing such an amazing, helpful and incredibly easy-to-use product.
Most sincerely,
Wendy C. Sheeran

"Dr. Rose's Healing Salve" Dear Dr. DiLeva: I write to share what a miraculous product you have developed with Dr. Rose's Healing Salve. Here is a brief summary of the incredible success we have experienced. When we brought our third rescue Weimaraner home, we discovered that his underbelly was raw and oozing. In addition, the inside of his ears was covered with a red bumpy rash. After you prescribed the application of Dr. Rose's Healing Salve, we applied it and saw dramatic improvement within a week! Much to our amazement, the raw, oozing sores on our new dog's underbelly were entirely gone and the rash on the ears had subsided. When we returned to your office a week later, you were able to witness the incredibly dramatic healing that had taken place!

“Gracie”
Our Old English sheepdog, Gracie, contracted a tick borne disease (canine babesiosis/encephalitis meningitis). She became very ill. She lost her balance and could not walk, she could not keep her food down, her eyes darted back and forth and she had no energy. These symptoms occurred rapidly and it took several visits to a number of veterinarians to determine exactly what caused her illness. She was eventually treated by a neurology specialist and given a heavy dose of steroids and anti-biotics ...

“Biddles”

Our dog, “Biddles”, is a four year old black lab. He was about 2 ½ when we first visited Dr. Rose DiLeva’s office. “Biddles” would limp any time he played really hard…..which was quite often ...

On October 4, 2006 “Mr. Winston” came to visit Dr. Rose DiLeva after an unfortunate sofa incident left him without the use of his hind legs. “Mr. Winston,” an otherwise healthy 4- year- old “tweeny” short hair dachshund had recently been administered a steroid shot as a result of bulging discs in his spine. Without going into detail, “Mr. Winston” was feeling spunky and jumped off our sofa ...

Piglet's story
Piglet is my spayed female lab-collie mix born on March 18, 1995. At approximately 10 months of age she was kicked by a horse to the left side of her head - full impact probably would have killed her ...

Simply stated, Dr.DiLeva is my miracle.

I have a long haired Dachshund named Mikey who is now 16 years of age (as of Dec.2006), and doing very well. Five years ago, he had a Myelogram of his neck and has some problems in his disc in that area ...
