LJ does acupuncture

LJsMom · 08-14-2009, 02:40 PM

This was her second visit. She showed improvement immediately and was able to hold the improvements all week.

There was another dog in the waiting room today, but LJ completely ignored her - and her barking. I'm so proud!

I tried to get a shot of Max once with the needles in his head that look like antennae, but they didn't show up very well!

Great that LJ is doing so well with the acupuncture. After Max gets needled, he barks extra at all the dogs in the waiting room, which makes no sense to me. But Max often confounds all my sensibilities!

Good job LJ, you're a grand old girl!!

What wrong with LJ

what a good girl!

I really tried to get a picture of the antennae. That was my goal this morning.

Spondylosis. Arthritic hips, knees, etc. Her hind end is really weak.

LOL, antennae. Great that the acupuncture is helping her.

I'm so glad this is helping her! Are you getting it done locally? Morgan's a few years out from needing help but I think it's a good to know thing.

We had gone locally with a holistic vet that also did chiro and acupuncture. However, she ticked me off. So...mucho bucks later...

We go to Integrated Animal Health in Bolton, Mass. Its a drive. But I'm very happy with the two vets there. The first appointment I made was for chiropractic, but after assessing her, Dr. Caviness determined that she was too sensitive in the lumbar region to do it. We're doing a trial of the acupuncture. Its $73 a visit. I think he teaches chiro at Tufts.

Joanne, antennae LOL!

My hope is that the treatments make a difference for her. Does she snooze through the treatments? I LOVE seeing her pictures! my gosh, LJ

just gets more and more beautiful!! Sending good vibes that the acupuncture makes a real difference for LadyJane!
