Beau's hind quarters have been a mystery to everyone, including OSU, an ortho and Cornell.
We started him on acupunture with the same dr that has been working on Teddy (and has been majorly improved) and it's a miracle I tell you, a miracle!!!!!!!
But seriously, he is walking with the bounce in his step. When he lifts one leg to pee, having the other support him, it no longer quivers and when he gets up, it doesn't take him a minute or three to start walking normally.
For those of you who have questioned whether or not to do it, give it a chance to work- it's marvelous. They say 6 time for improvement if there is to be improvement and it could get worse before it gets better. Beau was much worse after the first session.
Does he like it? NO! Does he whine from the moment we pull up in front of the vet to the time we leave? YES! But, I'm the mom and he's the dog. Does he scream before the doc touches him? YES! I tell HIM what's good for him, even though, at the time, he doesn't like it.
His quality of life in the last 2 weeks has been like it was when I first got this crazy boy.
My ONLY concern is that he is such a nut case again, because he feels so good, that the flies up and down the stairs, does 180's as he comes around corners at lightening speeds. That is how he orginally hurt his leg over a year ago! Silly Beau.
