Tess was my heart dog she passed away four years ago after a stroke, we miss her terribly. Any treatment she needed she got.
She snapped the ligament in her spine by turning quickly running, synovial fluid leaked and pressed against the nerves in her spine causing pain and inflamation.
By crating, rest and pain relief she recovered. As she got older one of the vertebra hooked over at the top and she got arthritis but accupuncture really helped her, she relaxed sometimes even went to sleep whilst the vet put the needles in and the veterinary nurses held her up.
Hope this helps convince others it works, as dogs don't have any preconceived ideas.....
