Back on the BLOG!




DogieDog is back.
After one year of absence, I am glad to be back on! I am excited about a great new development!
My Lucy the Golden Retriever (probably about 14 years now!!!) was paralyzed for a few months about 3 years ago... Our Vet said that she had a good life and maybe she should be put to sleep... Not wanting to take the easy way out... I inquired about an Acupuncture and Holistic vet in the area. Only one was available in the Redlands (CA) area: Dr. Nancy Modglin, I am glad I contacted her, and drove the distance!
She treated Lucy for 2 months with Acapuncture, but also told me that frequent massage, pressure points and water exercises would be needed in order to grab that 25% chance that she would walk again. Believe it or not... but after 1 month, we started getting some sensitivity back in her hind legs, 2 weeks later she started to stumble and walk slowly again, with the help of a special belt strapped under her tummy!
let's just say that she was a very happy dog!
So what's the great development?......
