So I have a Chocolate Dapple Dachshund male about eight years old named Chauncey (after Chauncey Billups for any of you Detroit Pistons fans out there). Chauncey hurt his back a couple of weeks ago and my wife and I were concerned we might have to put him down. He was unable to walk using his two hind legs. You have to understand that Chauncey is my wife's baby. If something happens to him she is a wreck...and therefore I am a wreck. Surgery was an option but man that is REALLY expensive. Our Vet recommended that we try acupuncture. To which I was like...What? So we tried it. After just three sessions in two weeks I would like to say that I am a believer in this stuff. Chauncey is up and walking around. He isn't walking how he used to yet and he has a long way to go to full recovery, but he is walking when I was sure we were going to have to put him down. So When I say he is walking around, what I really mean is that he is walking when we let him out of his crate to pee and poo...doctor's orders. Anyway, I thought I would share a couple of photos from his last two sessions.
