I was searching for something else and found this. Thought I would share.
If you watch the video of the dog being needled, I would like to let you know that Pixel was NOTHING like that. He was a freak. A squeaking, squealing, squirmy freak.
Even though he did not enjoy it, the results were tremendous. The day after he was pinned,he would improve by about 25%. His results may or may not be typical, but I would absolutely recommend acupuncture for anyone who's dog has IVDD. You do start acupuncture therapy for IVDD as soon as the dog goes down (no need to wait for the 8 week healing period to be complete). For us, in Canada, the first session was $120 for the evaluation, and the session, after that each one was $60.00.
