Our neighbors Malamute, Tara, had hip dysplacia. Not sure what stage it was. She just moved slow from time to time like a dog with arthritis.

Candy took Tara to many different vets for different treatments. The she found out that Michigan State University was conducting a new experimental way to treat hip dysplacia.... with acupuncture I think.... and Tara got in to be one of the test subjects.

She took the treatment extremely well and lived to be 17 or 18, I think.
