I’ve been dealing with a lot of back pain with Mr. Odin for quite a while. I’ve had his spine x-rayed, saddle fitted to him, massage, chiro, and now acupuncture. The vet did a chiro on him first and for some of it, he wanted nothing to do with her and was very fidgety, attempting to bite when it got too uncomfortable, and just not happy. I love this vet, she never got annoyed and took her time and gave him breaks throughout.
Then came the acupuncture. Totally different ballgame. He loved it! she put in about 10 needles and he never moved. He got so relaxed and sleepy when she ran the electro comb (for want of a better word) that gave a read out on how well it’s working. His mood afterward was cheerful and happy instead of his usual snarky self. He goes back in two weeks for another round. Fingers crossed this is the ticket he needed.!
