Emergency spinal surgery (dog)

[beac]

16. Acupuncture did WONDERS for my

dog when he hurt his back (much like yours, by jumping off the couch.)

I wasn't at all a believer in acupuncture prior to that experience but it turned out the veterinary acupuncturist the vet recommended was someone I already knew, so we gave it a try. Truly amazing results. He went from barely able to move to walking pretty comfortably after the first treatment. After three treatments, he was back to his frisky self.

We did this instead of the exploratory surgery which the vet said was our only other option and he (the dog not the vet )went on to live many, many happy pain-free years after that. Near the end of his life, we used acupuncture again to give him some relief from the complications of renal failure.
