If she takes the leash, he starts to shake and doesn't want to walk. He sleeps snuggled with me and is very comfortable in our home. He will even sit on my daughter's lap for short periods. No one but me can lift him or take him out. I am continuing to try behavior therapy.I am not giving up on him and wasn't looking for a crutch. This poor dog obviously suffered great abuse, but he has a wonderful home. |
Thank you for being so kind and taking in a dog like that
I don't know if I would have the strength of patience - I commend you.

The benefits of acupuncture are very convincing when observed. Acupuncture has been successful in treating:
* Pain and Stress Relief from all Orthopedic Spinal Injuries and Structural Problems
* Neurological and Musculoskeletal Issues
* Paralysis and Lameness
* Back or Leg Pain and Arthritis
* Allergies and Respiratory Problems
* Grief, Anxiety, Fear, Aggression, and other Behavioral Issues
* Digestive Disorders
* Urinary Tract and Kidney Disorders
* Immune Deficiencies (Helping Animals with Cancer)
* Seizure Tendencies and Epilepsy
* Medical/Surgical Recovery
I think there's 2 versions of RR, the pet version and the human one. The human one does contain alcohol, but I don't think the pet one does.
