Hi All, Zeus went for his acupuncture treatment yesterday. Unfortunately he was not very cooperative, it is so painful for anyone to get near his rear end. He screamed each time the vet tried to place the needles and was struggling to get up. We tried rescue remedy, and he seemed calmer

I have used acupuncture for my dogs and it has worked amazingly well. I can remember taking one dog who did something to his back (can't remember now), and I could hardly get him in the car, but after acupuncture, he jumped right in for the trip home. I also used it for a dog who got hot spots
