I am sorry Spencer had a bad time of it today (and poor you!). I'm not sure how long you have been doing acupuncture, but it took a good 2-3 months before Sugar showed long term improvement. I also asked my vet to give her an Adequan shot. The first time, it was like a miracle! She ran (a little), she went for (short) walks! It started to wear off after about a month, and the second shot wasn't as helpful (it *did* help some), but by that time the acupuncture was really helping. You might ask your vet about Adequan.
