Approximately 12 months ago, Sue Brown's beloved dog unfortunately caught a severe case of arthritis. The case was so serious that the dog, Jazmin could not bear the pain that it caused her when she would try to walk.
If you are a dog lover you can imagine how sad it must be to watch your dog rendered immobile by something this painful. It is not like when they can no longer use the limb and you just put them in a dog wheel chair and 'hey presto!' they can move around all over the place like they used to. Jazmin was 13 years old at the time so the pain was not very easy to deal with at that age. When they are younger pups they can at least endure the pain to a certain extent but as they grow older their pain threshold becomes lower and lower. Eventually Sue Brown had no choice but to take her to a very good conventional veterinarian in her area of Eugene, Oregon. Much to her disappointment this vet who was very good at her profession had to let Sue Brown know that she was not giving Jazmin longer than 7 days to live. "Jazmin had to cry out for our help anytime she needed to go to the bathroom because she knew that if she tried to limp there the pain would be too unbearable. Once we took her outside she would take only one more step or so before going," sighed Sue Brown. After a long time of taking conventional medicine, Sure Brown could tell that the drugs that she had been giving to Jazmin were no longer working. Rather than give up on Jazmin, Sue Brown decided that she had to go a step further and try anything else out there whether it seemed promising or not. She turned her scope towards alternative medicine, namely, acupuncture. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice that so many people have heard about but few have tried. The basic procedure is to push into the skin extremely thin needles at specific points of the body. "Basically the needles act to turn off the pain receptors in the body and also to decrease inflammation. With inflammation brought to a low the body can then begin to recover and its immune system goes back up to normal," says Dr Radebaugh. Dr Radebaugh is from the healing paw centre where for the last few years he has been treating dozens of animals with acupuncture. Jazmin is one of the many who are getting ease from pain with this increasingly popular method that Dr. Radebaugh says 80% of cats and dogs respond well to. All it takes is four to six sessions and the animals are back in good shape if not great.
