Merry Christmas from the Pugs

For everyone wondering about Yoda's first visit to the acupuncturist... it was yesterday. This first visit was just a consultation/evaluation. The vet looked at Yoda's x-rays and told us that he not only has disc problems, he also has spinal arthritis (spondylosis) and bad hips. He thinks that Yoda's pain will respond well to acupuncture. Hopefully, that will mean a lot less medication. Yoda's first acupuncture treatment is scheduled for January 2nd. He'll go every week for four weeks, and then just "as needed."

 

Acupuncture was amazingly affordable - just around $35.00/visit.

 

Also, Yoda has been getting around a bit better the last few days. We've been able to skip the deramaxx for four days now. He's not moving as freely as he used to, but at least he's not crouching and trembling in pain.
