Nancy said the pain she feels is not sudden sharp pain as in falling over because when she falls, sometimes, it is very hard and I thought that might have been was she was referring to. It is all over acheing like a person would have with arthritis all over their body.

I did a acupuncture search in the place you posted krazyaboutkatz, didn't find one anywhere near us. I checked out the TTouch you posted Lizzie, that is worth looking into. I may just order one of those books and give that a try. What exactly is the Cosequin for and what is it? (anti inflamantory? Pain med?)

Medusa, I have found that doing any kind of therapy that invloves moveing her joints only make them stiffer and harder for her to get around for 3 to 4 days. At one time I thought working them would make them more flexable and tried it only to discover it made her worse. Every new vet that would see her, the first thing they would do is to work her back legs looking for range of motion and signs of pain. That would leave her about crippled completely for those next days, that I no longer allow them to do that anymore.

I am so outdone that she is in so much pain, it rips my heart right out of me to know that now. It is so damp and cold here (colder than we are use to in the deep south) that she is having a awful time getting around and she just looks so miserable in her eyes. That is why I suspected she was in pain, especially in the winter months, because of the miserable look in her eyes and the difficulty she has in getting around. After the reading, I sent Nancy Amy's You Tube video's so she could see how this CH effects her and maybe she could get a better understanding of it.
