I am looking at Flash now and he is the same dog again he was before he had his back pain. He runs a lot again in the park, loves playing lots, he trots fine again and his facial expressions are much happier again than in a long time. He is also gradually getting better with other dogs again and has been known greeting some nicely over the last few months, something he hasn't done in quite a long time.
He still hops occasionally, but Noel Fitzpatrick did say that will remain due to the damaged disk, but it isn't as pronounced and frequent now as it was and certainly isn't getting any worse.
One or all or some of the remedies I am giving him for his pain is obviously working. It is so good to see Flash well again - finally.
Stuff I am giving him to help:
Vegan glucosamine (seems to help a lot)
Turmeric (only just started)
Devil's Claw (really good as well)
Magnetic Collar (I think this helps too)
Chiropractor every 4 months to keep him straight
He had acupuncture, but not for a while now as it isn't necessary at the moment
I have also given him the CSJ herbs: Steady! to help him mentally as he was getting quite depressed again after Troy dying, Skye arriving and with his back pain. I think this supplement made a huge difference to him! He is certainly much happier again since being on it and I am gradually reducing the dosage now for him.
