CANINE CHIROPRACTIC Doc treats dogs for the following groups: * Show * Hunting * Agility * Sniffer * Attack/Guard * Detector * Domestic (Pet) * Fly ball * Dancing with Dogs * Obedience Doc works on ALL breeds of canine, of ALL ages. Many pet owners contact Doc on a daily basis when their animals begin to show signs of lameness. Some are unable to move at all by the time they see Doc. Some owners have exhausted all other options available to them. It is Docs vision for his chiropractic treatments to become a part of an animals regular annual pet care, just like your pets annual vaccination is. If used as a preventative, rather than a response treatment, you will avoid the problems so many dogs sadly face in their later years. Treating puppies from 8 weeks of age will ensure they grow up "in alignment" to prevent the movement issues many older dogs dont need to face later in life. Please see FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS page for more information! Perfect example of how to house your lame dog ......off slippery floors.... until Doc gets to him/her
SYMPTOMS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT
CAUSES OF SYMPTOMS Isolating the cause of your dogs injuries will help towards reducing the re-occurence of their symptoms. Being able to remove/reduce what caused your dogs problems in the first place will make for a more effective treatment by Doc for your dog and will also mean your dog will be fixed with fewer treatments so you are not throwing money away!!
COMMON MISDIAGNOSIS OF SYMPTOMS
See "Emails received" page for more common explanations received....
WHAT "NOT" TO DO · Do not use heat packs on your dog when they are sore
· Do not massage your dog when they appear to be sore If nerves are pinched this will only inflame
· Do not try to manipulate your dog yourself in any way
· Do not allow anyone (no matter from what profession / training / background), to manipulate your animal if they can’t tell you what is wrong with your pet, how / what they believe they have to do to fix them, that they have dealt with your pets problem before and that they CAN fix them for you.
· Do not continue to exercise your dog until Doc advises you can. If your dog is walking abnormally because it is in pain, to continue to do this (no · Do not allow the dog that is in pain / moving badly to remain in the company of other dogs that you have. It may seem cruel to separate them and they may protest loudly but your dog could become unusually aggressive towards the other dog due to pain. Also what your dogs do together, could be what has caused their symptoms in the first place! After a treatment the good work can be undone by immediate rough play, especially because your dog will feel great after a treatment and want to play like crazy. If your dog had been out of alignment for a long period of time and has any muscle wastage, it won’t take much of a bump from another dog to "go back out". Prevent this from happening by separating them until Doc gets your dog in full health again.
FACTS The problem will not go away on its own. With rest, symptoms may subside but not for long. pain. will only mask up the problem. You may see your dogs symptoms diminish however this will not fix what is causing the problem - the medication does not address what caused the pain in the first place and symptoms often return. Doc can do his job but when he leaves your home the changes you need to make to stop problems reoccuring for your animals are up to you!)- see my "video" page age SOME SCENARIOS If your dog is not walking properly: For example, not fully reaching forward with their front legs or pushing back with their rear legs, your dogs muscles/body is not working as it should and you need to do something about it before it gets worse - do not just keep doing what you have been doing! If your dog cannot lose weight: If your dog is not walking properly it will not lose weight easily. Muscles burn fat. If your dogs muscles are not working fully, due to your dog not being able to stretch out and walk properly because of pain, then no matter how much exercise they do it is impossible for them to efficiently burn fat Limited movement is due to: Your dog experiencing pain when it does walk normally. Walking incorrectly for a long period of time will lead to your dog having muscle wastage, rather than muscles building up from exercise. No amount of exercise will help until nerves are released so the pain and muscle spasm goes away and they can walk normally pain free again and work their muscles. Muscles hold bones in place and: If your dogs muscles waste away bones/joints can easily slip out of alignment. Slipping out of alignment results in nerves being pinched and leads to symptoms being exhibited (eg limping) which might be what has lead you to my website. Dogs have a high pain tolerance: And, being pack animals, are reluctant to show weakness therefore you will not see major symptoms until the pain gets too much for them and they have no choice. If you havent noticed the little changes in your dogs composition earlier (dip/roached back, crabbing etc) it will seem like your dog has "suddenly deteriorated overnight" but this is not the case - your dog has had problems for a long time..... Don't despair though - contact me, I can fix your dog today!

2011 9 1/2 year old Japanese Spitz very lame
2010 Old stiff arthritic dog OCT 2010 Bunjie - treated over a period of a Dear Doc My dog fell in a mellon hole about 2 years ago while running on the farm. He was paralysed in the back legs for 2-3 weeks. I nursed him back to walking by creating a sling to mobilise him outside for toileting. Gradually he improved with medication and rest, however he is gradually deteriorating. When we go for walks he can't gait, his back legs swing from side to side in a trot; when walking he tends to half plat his legs dragging his toes slightly on the ground. He can't sit properly either, appears to be in a lot pain, very stiff. I don't know if you can help me as we live in Rockhampton but you may know someone who can. I have been looking for help for quite some time. Due to his lack of mobility he is tending to put on weight which is exacerbating is situation. He only gets 1/4 cup dog biscuits and small bone daily. He should be 25kg and is now 29-30kg. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I think we have sat on this problem for way too long as the vet recommended we should wait and see. He had all the x-rays and as you said nothing showed up relating to the nerves. Bunjie's initial accident occurred a couple of years ago so as you can imagine he has already suffered the muscle wasting in his back end. A month ago he fell down the stairs and he has reverted back to how he was when he just starting walking again. Some days he can't even walk around the house yard without falling over, not to mention squatting when he has to open his bowels. We have been trying to locate a chiropractor here but don't seem to be having too much success.
