| Help My sweet little blind maltese McKenzie has a neck problem that's been going on for 10 days now. She's on pred, gabapentin, tramadol and now flagyl because she had bloody diarrhea today. My vet said if she's no better tomorrow may refer for for acupuncture. Does anyone have experience with this and did it help? I just want to cry for her. |

| Yes, it works well but she may need an adjustment. The person who does the acupuncture, is it a doggie Chiropractor ? if not then I would find one. I use a Chiropractor for mine & sometimes they acupuncture as well but usually just the adjustment does the trick & works much faster & none of mine mind the adjustments. |

| I don't know this vet but is who my vet refers to. I read about her on her website and she really has a lot of impressive credentials. Does a lot of teaching at the universities. Just got back from teaching in China. My girl has a narrowing between C3 and C4. Could be something that's been there or from slipping out of my husband's arms and hitting on her head last Thurs. He was leaning over in recliner to put her on floor and she just kinda slid. Was not from high up. My vet said he would try whatever this other vet recommends because they don't do real well with neck surgery. Thanks for your input I just beside myself as to knowing what to do.
