I started treating Cedric in August for his cruciate ligament and arthritic shoulders. At the time, he was starting to exhibit cruciate issues in his right hind leg, but the vets would not do anything because of his kidney function. When I started, the urine tests were 2.3, a month later, they were at 1.8 which was an improvement. The latest results have just come back and they are 0.75!!! His meds have remained unchanged for 15 months; the only change that he has had, is the massage treatment. There has been no change in diet or exercise regime either.
Both Denise and I are in agreement that the massage is working effectively on Cedric's lymphatic system to shift the waste from cell metabolic activity to where it needs to go to be expelled.
This last week when I saw him, he was definitely more 'bouncy' and even allowed me to do some passive movement for the first time, on his right side, so we are now starting to get somewhere.
Treatment is never forced on the dog, I only do what they allow me to do and we are gradually building trust. I'm so pleased at his improvement in himself and of course, his kidney function.
Let's hope it continues to improve!!! He will have another test in about eight weeksk time.
