Lilli has a needle sticking out of her head...and her little body, but 😳not to worry. Acupuncture for dogs or any pet is incredible. What a difference it has made for Lilli. She is like a puppy again, running around and playing ball. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you have an accredited acupuncturist. A good referral always helps. Arlene Gillo at the Glendale Small Animal Hospital is fantastic. I could not recommend her or thank her enough. Acupuncture for pets is good for hip dysplasia, nerve injuries, degenerative joint disease, arthritis, allergic skin conditions, disease of the spinal cord, reproductive problems, seizures and epilepsy, asthma, immune function, inflammation, and digestion disorders. Lilli had injured her neck at some point, which moved down her spine and back and her back legs had given out and actually stopped working. I was hysterical. To see her now is night and day. She is healed and happy and enjoying her mobility soooo much! The video is from today and shows an herb called Moxa. Pressed into a charcoal stick, it is harvested from the mugwort plant. Mugwort has been used alongside acupuncture for over 3000 years. Moxa heats the acupuncture points and adds energy to the body. It improves blood flow, boosts the immune system and makes the acupuncture stronger. It is especially good to use on the back. In Chinese medicine the theory is the body is governed by Qi and blood that flow through meridians and organs. When blockage happens, problems manifest and symptoms occur. The needles in acupuncture manipulate your Qi and blood, so your body will recover and maintain health. I'm so excited to have discovered this ancient therapy! #AnimalSaturday #acupuncture #chihuahua #greenwithtiffany #acupuncturefordogs (at Glendale Small Animal Hospital)
