Kirby's day was not as bad as yesterday. My daughter and I gave him a bath today and now he smells sweet and I hope it makes him feel better. Thanks each and every one of you who have replied, offered advice and prayers. I appreciate it more than words can say! *HUGS* |
Connie,
I believe they use this if dry needling is not taking anymore. Babybear was not getting anything anymore from dry needling so now he gets the electrods. Doc Paul tired it on himself and said that it feels like a muscle spasm. I have also heard of another acupuncture that is laser. I know that Doc Paul does not have that in his office. I would call my vet and see if they know of any acupuncture vets close by. I am sure you can find a vet closer to you. You might be shocked to find one closer. I sure hope so. How is the little guy doing tonight. I am continueing to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
And yes a warm bath once a day will not hurt him it will help. Just don't use soap every time. IT could dry out his skin. I found that out the hard way. And if you are having problems with him going potty(pee) try a belly band. OR a regular diaper. That is i what I use on Babybear and I keep a wee wee pad under him all the time.
If you ever have any questions please pm me and I will do my best to answer everything for you. Any time.
