    glad to hear the good news Kate!
    Keegan responded well to acupuncture.
    My vet used the accupressure gun on her tho b/c of having to stay still for so long with the needles in.
    GOOD LUCK KIRK!

    I'm always anxious to read about Kirk, since that's my John's middle name (his family calls him Kirk). I told him about his "namesake" and he said his hips are going to start going soon too and maybe he'll see your vet!
    Relieved and pleased that the Big Snip went well. Positive, loving thoughts being sent over the miles for a speedy, safe, healthy recovery on Kirk's hip surgery. xoxoxox

    Kirk, you sweet little fluff ball!!! I'm so glad the neuter went well and you're recovering nicely. Will have you in my thoughts on Thursday and will pray that it goes quickly and well. Don't worry about the hair loss to the surgery, you may look "silly" for a short while but doggie hair grows back quickly.

    Kate, I'm so sorry you're having to go thru this. I hope and pray his surgery goes well!

    My neighbors Malamute had hip dysplacia and responded well to acupuncture treatments. I hope Kirk continues to tolerate them.

    I am just now catching up on this thread .... so sorry to hear of your pup's problems and such a young age! Thank God you have so much help and vet experience around you to see him through all of this! Your breeder did the only right thing to do in this situation .... thank goodness for that! I am glad to hear that his neuter went well without complication! Sending prayers for a successful surgery on Thursday!

    Hugs,
    Kim
