Luna’s Laser Therapy

Having been through this with Romeo, and now with Minnie, I am a big fan of laser/acupuncture therapy for the first few sessions, and then the acupuncture.  The needles are so thin that most of the time they are not even felt and if they are, it is a brief second. 

I am glad Luna is responding, but please don’t discount acupuncture if the progress seems to slow down or take too long.

Corrine, I am completely with Sue VDB on the acupuncture/laser therapy although the laser you describe might be a bit different from what Georgie is getting.  His is a small wand connected to some type of transmitter and only is applied to certain spots for 15 seconds or so.  He had this third acupuncture/laser treatment on Friday and does not have to go back for a month because he is doing so well.  The biggest improvement we have noticed is his breathing.  Collapsed trachea be gone!  Well, not really, but it is so much improved he doesn’t breathe any deeper or struggling than the other two. And, he is walking so well and not stumbling like he had been.  Most of this result is from the acupuncture, so don’t rule that route out.  I realize every pug is an individual - boy are they ever - but from this side of the Mason/Dixon Line, we couldn’t be happier.  I was worried about the wiggle problem, too, but it turned out to be a non-issue.

Our cost is comparable as well, $110 for the first session and $50 each for succeeding ones, possibly 6 in all.

I hate to hear of what little Miss Looney Tunes is going through but hopefully this will be the answer for her.

This really works and it will make Luna feel so much better. Many years ago I used this on my Great Dane. He was 8 years old at the time. I drove 150 miles round trip every Wed. for months to the only vet who did this. The cost was $10.00 per session - that is how long ago it was.

Sweet Luna..sorry you are having health problems. Know your family is taking wonderful care of you.
Love you sweet girl!

I meant to say how I love this picture (my mind is slow) of Luna.  You just want to reach out and touch her.  She is so precious.

This is off the mark but would someone help me get rid of the song, Red Solo Cup, I use you up” out of my head.  Heard it yesterday and have been singing (not out loud) over and over and it won’t go away.  Help!

i’m so happy for my sweet luna as this seems to be the best plan i don’t go for needles either what pug sits that still.Give her kisses for me she is just a love.

Laser therapy is cheap down there! Isabelle gets a chiropractic adjustment and acupuncture for her arthritis and wobbly back end. It’s about $130 each session. But the results are amazing. Isabelle is antsy in the vet’s office as well and would pace with the needles in. Until I finally brought a chew with me. Then she plops right down on the table and just chews away. She gets Healthy Edible bones because they are always a favorite and she has few teeth.
I am not a fan of needles either and can’t watch when they put them in, but Isabelle doesn’t even notice them. And you just can’t argue with the results. From a crippled old lady to a dog that bunny hops up the deck steps now, it is worth every penny. Fortunately, my vet is open on Saturdays.

Lisa check into laser/acupuncture therapy.  My vet thought Minnie might need surgery and I took her to see my acupuncture vet and she is doing great.  Romeo had the same problem and laser/acupuncture did wonders for him as well.  I am a firm believer.
