Rio has a bad back. More specifically he has lumbar sacral disease where his spine meets his tail. We have been taking him to a holistic veterinarian who gives Rio acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. They seem to be working quite well.
Prior to getting the treatments there were clearly days when Rio was not comfortable. He had no spark, no energy. Since he's been getting treated he's been much more energetic, spinning like a goofy guy when it is time to go on a walk.
He doesn't seem to mind the very fine needles. Sometimes he will bleed just a little bit after the needles come out, but for the most part it is a very positive experience for him. It is working so well I'd love to find an acupuncturist for myself!
