Poor Raustyk girl * update on pg 5, not too good *

Sue, your sweet girl remains in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry you and she are going through this . I know you are doing everything in your power and she is certainly blessed to have you as a "mom." ((hugs)) to you and kisses to dear Raustyk.

I really think the acupuncture and/or heat therapy will do Raven wonders. It really helped Sherry. Within 24 hours, she was acting like a puppy again. Let us know how she is after the appointment and I'll send some positives vibes and prayers.

If you have to choose between the treatments, I'd really reccomend getting the acupuncture, and asking the therapist to suggest some massage that you can do at home, or maybe take her to one professional massage therapy and ask the therapist to show you some techniques.

I my experience (personal and with my dog), and from what 3 different acupuncture vets have told me, most dogs will get relief after about 4-6 weeks of weekly treatments and sort of stabilize out, and then do best on an every 3 week or so regimen of acupuncture treatments. Each dog is a little bit different, but you'll know when she needs another treatment.

Good luck!
