Kandie and what her sister is going to have done

Kandie as many of you know is my 18 yr old"fur sister"... For the last six months she has had worsening arthitis... She has had fish oil , jt supplement, glucosime and msm and they help but not enough for me ... So I talked with the vet and the accupucturist and were going to try accupucture... I will be finding the reduced fee somewhere in the budget ( I am starting new jobs and $$ will come but not for a while) ....

Kandie starts treatment on july 15 th ...

Any comment s and experiences would be appreciated

I cannot comment on acupuncture for animals, but I had a severe case of Bell's Palsy that was cured by going to an acupuncturist for a period of 10 visits over three weeks after the palsy occured.

When the palsy happened, I completely lost all motor ability on the right side of my face - couldn't smile, couldn't close my right eye, had to sleep with an eye patch (that was a horrible experience, being forced to sleep with an open eye!) - and within three weeks all functions were returning, and within 2 months, my face was totally back to normal.

I highly recommend acupuncture in general. I'd be really interested to see how your kitty responds to the treatment - please keep us updated!
