When I first met this guy he was in a real bad place. His mom, in an even worse place, after hearing he should be put down because he had severe degenerative disc disease that would lead paralysis. At the time he only presented paresis, ataxia and a terrible back pain irresponsive to regular prescription drugs. Unfortunately, many guardians still receive this recommendation and either end up feeling terrible desolated or worse, follow the recommendation and put their beloved pet dog. Many people, and even vets, are unaware of the wonderful benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine. Fortunately, for Benji, we have a happy ending. After only one session he was back to his normal self, 2 sessions more to boost him up and keep him on the road to mend. Now, the most special thing about this snapshot sequence was hearing mom telling me “Dr. Lara l, you truly convinced me... in all his 8 years of his life you are the second person he climbs the lap. He only sits in my lap and no one else. And the most impressive, he is in the vet clinic, at the vet’s lap and full of needles!!!!”. #daodogtigercat (at San Ramón, Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrogfDBlP9y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m3iq6ldss0ai
