<< Could anyone share their experience with acupuncture, positive or negative? >> I used accupuncture with my old Rottie when her lumbo-sacral disease really became a problem for her. We began with once a week treatments and by 4 weeks moved to every other week and about 6 weeks later, just once a month. It made a major difference in her comfort and mobility! The day after a treatment she was like a new dog, and I could tell a few days before our next appointment that she was getting uncomfortable again. Since the dog does not have the knowledge to contribute to the "placebo effect" I have to believe that it was truly helping maintain her comfort. I would be very cautious with a partially torn cruciate as they very often tear through completely and then definitely require surgical repair to prevent serious permanent lameness. Good luck to both of you! Anne Copeland, Flash,TDI/CGC (Berner, 8 1/2 yrs.) & Gypsy TDI/CGC(Rescue Cavalier,2 yrs.) BMDCSEW Tracking Test Chair/Sec.
