Lucy... got better and better, and after a while, I didn't need the support belt anymore for walks or to go outside and do her business! (I certainly was glad about the latter!)
We kept doing our massages and pressure points, it became like a conditional experience..."what do you mean, you are not going to give me a rub today!?". Because of the daily massage, she also got used to the different strokes, and was able to tolerate some pressure and cross friction...
So... here it comes... a few months ago she got excited when a friend came into the house (he always gives her a cookie or 2) and she slipped on the tile floor. (Of course on one of the few places where there is no runner or area rug!)... Needless to say that disaster struck and she was back to absolutely no feeling in her back legs.
I immediately started to ice it and try to pamper it for a few days, and then slowly began applying my massage therapy... long story short... about 2 weeks later she was back to walking with the support belt, and I am happy to say, that she is back to normal and doing her regular walks every day like a real trooper!
Because of the result of having this work a second time, I decided that I might just be able to help some other dogs out there, and started working for my "Canine Massage Therapy Certification" with the "Equissage School", where you can study for a certification for Equine (Horse) and Canine Massage Therapist... So... that's the development... stay tuned, I will be giving trial massages soon, free of charge until I am certified. Let me know if you have an interest for your pooch...(Palm Springs CA area!)
