acupuncture for dogs

When I realized my ten year old lab, Lygia Clark, seemed to be limping and in pain, despite medication every day, I called my vet and asked if he had any suggestions. He sent me to a wonderful vet that does acupuncture on animals. Not cheap, but I love my dog ​​so I’m going to give up something in order to have the money to pay for treatment. We made an appointment for next week.

afraid of needles hurt my dog, but when I met the vet quickly allied my fears. I immediately realized it was one of the special, you really love and care for animals.

First off, I sat on the floor next to my son, caressing while the doctor inserts needles. Clark did not feel anything. The vet told me would have to wait fifteen minutes for the full effect, so we chatted while Clark enjoyed all the attention. Once the needles were withdrawn, Clark pulled away to take a nap. That’s a typical response. For some reason, acupuncture causes the animals to sleep.

The vet came a week for two months, monthly, and finally went to quarterly visits. Clark got better with each treatment until I saw him limping. He ran and played with his two sisters in the backyard, her appetite was good – very good, was a laboratory and overweight, but especially the quality of life improved exponentially.

We cut way back on the medication for pain, and finally were able to stop giving Clark.

Clark enjoyed for two years until we left to go to the Rainbow Bridge . I know without doubt that acupuncture not only extended his life, but also their quality of life much better. In the future I would not hesitate to give my dogs back acupuncture.
