TESTIMONIAL – M the Jack Russel x Yorkshire Terrorist from Chris Day, UK
We just wanted to say thank you so very much for agreeing to see our little dog M, 2 weeks ago – he has diagnosed Arthritis in his back left knee and suspected Arthritis in his front left shoulder and knee. Our Vets were only able to offer painkillers and anti- inflammatory drugs. As M is only 10 years old, we were very reluctant to give him long term medication which could cause permanent damage to his Liver and Kidneys.
We are so pleased to be able to tell you of M's dramatic improvement, after your chiropractic manipulation and taking the Rhus toxicodendron, Ruta graveolens and Arnica montana mixture for just 2 weeks. M has always been a trooper when faced with life's problems but he has now gone from behaving like an old chap to being a young boisterous playful pup again. When we went for walks, after a relatively short distance he would ask to be picked up and carried for a while – this last week he has actively refused to be carried and has gone back to sniffing around bushes and undergrowth and generally behaving like a young dog again. At home he has started racing around with his toys and daring us to chase after him – something he has not done for quite some time – we didn't realise just how much he had declined into an 'older' dog, much older than his years. We have come across people on our walks who know us and didn't know Midge was having problems and they have also commented on
how spry and active he is and how different he seems, so we know it is not just our wishful hoping. We no longer have M the Jack Russel x Yorkshire Terrier we have M the Jack Russel x Yorkshire Terrorist. Thank you again for giving us back our wonderful little dog.
I hope this is some- thing you can use when teaching or if
any other patients present with similar symptoms as M. Please do let the owners know how successfully things have worked out for
M. Very Grateful Thanks, Bob and Sue B (and M of course)
One week further on:
M is going from strength to
strength – he has got his zest for life
back and we have noticed he walks and runs very differently – he used to run using a strange 'rabbit hop' using his back legs together and we always commented he wasn't built for speed but now he is using each leg independently – we honestly can't believe the difference in him. We hoped for an improvement but his 'new' behaviour is way beyond that – we are happily exhausted trying to keep up.
