| I just spent a lot of time on Baby Bears dogster page! Seeing what he has accomplished give me more hope. I do know that acupuncture works...I just have to find someone around here. I think the closest one is 5 hours away and I suppose he'd need it done more than once? In the video I watched of Baby Bear getting acupuncture, they hooked wires to the needles. That part is new to me...I've only had the needles. 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*

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.

| Connie, I was hoping for news of Kirby today. How is the little guy doing? I am so glad you are in contact with Val and Babybear - is that dogster page awe-inspiring or what?! I do hope is having a better weekend, poor brave little man. Hugs, Lauren

| I don't know what your financial situation is, and I take it there are no orthopedic or neurologists in your area. What about finding the closest one and going on a road trip? Also, you could look for universities near you that have veterinary programs. They usually provide excellent treatment at a fraction of the cost of a regular vet. And there is always Alameda East, the veterinary clinic on Emergency Vet on Animal Planet. People come from all over for Dr. Taylor to treat their dogs, usually with excellent outcomes. |

| My heart aches for you and your family. That precious little guy surely has had a rough road lately. My prayers are with you. i wish I knew something to tell you; but I really don't. I do know that Kirby is getting the best care you can give, and I also know that love can be a powerful healer.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | My heart is just breaking for little Kirby. I can't stand to think of him suffering - poor little baby! I hope your Chiro can adjust him, it could do wonders. Have you tried finding an animal massage therapist? That may help. I feel so helpless for you! What about a TENS machine? I think you can buy those - and they're often used in place of/in conjunction with accupuncture. Kirby, I'm sending good thoughts your way!!
