Norman and Jennifer Aniston
Star Magazine and Perezhilton.com recently reported Jennifer Aniston’s Dog, Norman, has fallen ill. Ms Aniston is evidently concerned that Norman, a 14-year old Corgi-Terrier mixed breed, is suffering from health problems so severe that his life may be at risk. Norman’s illness is reportedly emanating from his digestive tract. At this time, there are no media reports as to Norman’s diagnosis (determination as to the cause or causes of Norman’s current condition).
Norman lives in Malibu, CA, with Ms. Aniston and has escaped potentially traumatic episodes in the past. In January, 2009, Norman was almost hit by a car after going missing from Ms. Aniston’s home (see Jennifer Aniston’s dog, Norman, safely returned home by paparazzi in Malibu, CA).
I have treated Norman as a patient before, yet I have not have the opportunity to meet Ms. Aniston. Norman did not present for a digestive tract issue at the time, yet a variety of gastrointestinal abnormalities can affect dogs of ages ranging from juvenile to senior. A May 25, 2009 post on celebritydogwatcher.com reports that on the set of her movie, The Baster, Ms. Aniston required the movie crew provide Norman with “organic people-food” and schedule Norman’s “appointments with a doggy masseuse.” I am an advocate of feeding home prepared, human quality foods (see Improve your pet’s diet during October’s National Pet Wellness Month), yet it is important to feed appropriate foods that are not excessive in fat, carbohydrates, or calories. Having a doggy masseuse (or, even better, a certified veterinary acupuncturist), can be beneficial to his aging body by recognizing Norman’s areas of discomfort and normalizing energy imbalances.
I hope that Norman is on the road to a full recovery and that Ms. Aniston’s will enjoy many more happy days with her beloved pooch!
