"Pidge", my favorite bull dog, is doing very well. Before her owner had to take a sling to get her up. Now she gets up on her own. She also lost over 4 pounds in 2 months. They just started some swimming exercise with her too. Only 15 to 30 seconds right now every 2 days. Diane, the owner, told me she found a flotation vest for her, I can't wait to see her next week in it!
New patient kitty "Bosco" is being seen for a mandibular tumor. We have an integrative approach looking at Chinese herbals, acupuncture and diet. Dixie, the owner, is a last year Oriental Medicine student and is very hapy to be doing on her kitty the same thing she practices on humans. I was there this morning, we talked for hours and we looked at all the herbals, dried fruits and books she has, what a treat!
I saw Karen and Karen today. We are fine tuning the diet of "Archer", Karen's whippet, and doing acupunture to help control his allergies and strengthen his constitution. I met her friend Karen to treat her wonderful senior Schipperke "Benjamin". She has 5 or 6 of them. It has to be a very entertaining house.
I started with "Jojo"last week. Jojo is an awesome, gentle and friendly 65 pound dog with severe hip joint disease and several other issues. He is a very happy dog and we are working at making him more mobile and even happier.
