Chiropractor for Dog??
Long story short ,The best dog I've ever owned hurt her back ? She has 2 license wins. She didn't jump off a tailgate. She would wrestle alot with the other dog in kennel. Anyway I don't know. The Vet said 5% percent chance of full recovery. I was\am devastated . Three weeks into this she's not any better.Steriods and pain killers muscle relaxers. She started to show little improvements. So I got to thinking what about chiropractor? Found 1 close to home. Went to Community Chiropratic in Easley S.C. The Doc had me walk her up the hall and watched her stand still. She said I can fix that dog!! The very first treatment is a 30 minute ride in traffic. The dog slept home. I got her out of the Truck and she TROTTED to the kennel the first time in almost a month. Well 4,5 treatments later she is almost her oldself and I can start to work her slowly back in the pack over the next month. I still can't believe it. Anybody ever heard of this?
Never heard of this but, Sounds Great to me. That is Awesome that the doc could fix her up. I had a Dachshund that had back injury and best I heard from the vet was same treatment you were getting or a trip to Purdue $800 and no better chance then the treatment of steriods and muscle relaxers - 30 days later she managed to walk for another 10 years to the ripe old age of 18. But she was not a hunting dog either. I am happy for you and hope her recovery continues to normal. cya, Hunter
Yes,
Many times at dog shows you will see a dog massage therapist and a chiropracter there working on the dogs. The dogs do get better. I personnaly know a canine dog massage therapist and when our dog pulled a neck muscle she found it and fixed him right up, showed me how to continue treatment. Before that I had taken him to the vet the vet thought it was a pulled toe nail and many other things, she laid her hands on him felt all his muscles and says Look right there feel that it is a pulled muscle, and she went to work on the boy. He was better right after that.
Totally amazing...

From Field to Show and Show to Field the way it should be
Thats wonderful that you got someone to work on her. We have a papillon with Spondylosis which is a degenerative disease of the vertebra and we've tried a lot of medications for him. What works the best is Glucosomine/chrondroitin which is the same thing I take for my knees.
