About a week ago Bo sprained/strained his front wrist. (Thank you very much LEVI!!!...but that's another story
) He was starting to get better with rest & Rimadyl, but the woman that was watching him while we were out of town for the weekend didn't listen to me & let him outside with rambunctous lil' brother.
Sooo...back to square one we went.
I took him back to the vet today for some x-rays. They came out OK so she recommended another round of R&R (rest & Rimadyl) She's also trained in accupuncture, so I suggested we try that instead. She wasn't sure how well it would work on a sprain, but was willing to give it a try as an experiment. He had a 20 min treatment and was a very good boy! Since we've been home he's MUCH improved with hardly a limp at all.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will work and we can avoid any more Rimadyl. I don't have a problem with it when necessary, but it would be great if this could be taken care of with the accupuncture alone. I'm just so impressed with his response so far. Keep yer fingers & paws crossed for us.
