Guest TaraCoachCougar Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Visit not starting well. DH said there is no grass or curb for him to jump out on and can't even get him to the back of the car. I told him to go in and fill out initial paperwork and tell them he needs help.

Guest Energy11 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yes, Staff SHOULD help. We always did at the vet I worked for. Hopefully there will be a "Miracle!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TaraCoachCougar Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I haven't made it home yet but dh said he did well and liked the vet. I think he just chose to force cougar out but vet helped lift him back in. He hollared according to dh but he was fine. I may ask if this can be done in the back of the car next time. I'll update after I get home and see him. Thanks to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FLT Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Whew - glad he liked the vet. I'm looking forward to the update once you get home too.. I've been keeping Cougar in my thoughts. FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TaraCoachCougar Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think I need to retype my message since I'm on the computer as opposed to the iphone so it will make more sense. DH said that he (DH) liked the vet. Cougar likes everybody. To get Cougs out of the car, DH just forced him out by himself, but after the treatment, they both lifted him back in and that is when he hollared. He did NOT hollar during the acupuncture. He just laid on his bed before the vet came in and then he just stood he whole time that the vet was there and during the acupuncture. Sorry if I mislead with my choppy mobile typing. DH and I think Cougar's back legs look a little straighter when he first stands as opposed to the german shepherd crouch look. Of course, we could just be doing some wishful thinking. We do plan to go back next week for another treatment. We also have a chemo treatment on Friday so hopefully he'll recover from that towards the beginning of the week. DH did take some pictures, but I'll have to upload from his phone, stick on my facebook page and then link over to here. I'll share when all that is done. Thanks to all. I'll update tomorrow. Edited: DH said he hollared jumping out of the car, not going back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meandmy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Shadow gets acupuncture for hind end weakness and it has been a Godsend. I would say that it took him several weeks of weekly treatment for him to get the full benefit. We could see improvement after every session, but I think it was 5 or 6 treatments before we and the vet decided he could move to "maintenance mode". Now he goes every 4 weeks, although with winter coming on I may move it to 3 weeks to keep him as comfortable as possible. So, don't fret if Cougar isn't all the way there after one treatment. As long as you see improvement I would definitely keep going.

Guest Greytluv Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 My Piglet has cervical myopothy (sp) and a malgate. She gets acupuncture and chiropractic every month. She is a completely different dog then when she first came to us. No one can believe the progress she's made. I don't think you'll be sorry you did it.
