Will my life ever be normal or stress free again? First my daughter, always my daughter, then Nimby and now Earl. Earl has been having some issues the last 2 weeks and he is getting worse. He has been to the vets, been put on prednisone - it's not working and he can't even get up to go to the bathroom now. He is going to a chiropractor tomorrow. Please pray that there is something neurological that can be fixed.
Please pray for my big golden eyed boy that he'll be okay. He adopted us June 25, 1999 when he was three.
Thank you. Liz

Hi Liz I hope Earl is ok! Ask your vet or chiropractor if they recommend massage therapy. I just finished a course I have been going to in Alliston since May. Before I can write the certification exam I have to complete 10 case studies. I would been happy to come to your place once or twice a week. If you are hesitant to allow someone inexperienced to massage your pups I understand, although this course through Treetops is rated the toughest in North America and is being taken over by the University of Colorado and offered through them. It is definately not one of the "go for a weekend and I'm a massage therapist" type programs. Let me know If I can help. Brenda

Oh Liz, you know I'm thinking of you! You've had such a rough go, it's time for some good news.
Thinking of Earl and you and praying for a good result. Not sure if you considered acupuncture (meant to mention it to you on Sunday), but it may help Earl. Dr. Robertshaw in Aylmer is not too far from you and he worked miracles on Icky.

My thoughts are with you and Earl. Earl hang in and hoping for good results. My sister takes her Dachshund to a chiropractor and it's working for him. I'd give it a try.

:'(The chiropractor took x-rays today - he has 3 bad discs in his spine. She gave us some meds for him and wants to see him Friday. If there is no improvement she thinks we should consider letting him go to the bridge. Many of you know of Dr. St. Pierre's qualifications and expertise. My big boy Earl I'm praying for a miracle.Thanks everyone.
