///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Hello and Good morning fellow readers.
It’s a little gloomy and foggy here, although I am sure those of you in Southern California would like to have some of this weather.
I am hoping that those of you who live there are safe – including your pets.
——————————-
At first he was sore
——————————-
I mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter a dog (called Cheech) who was partially paralyzed.
He was first seen on Sunday with difficulty moving – his back was very sore.
X-Rays revealed a wedged Vertebrae – suggestive of a prolapsed disc.
He had no neurological deficits – meaning all tests for his reflexes were normal.
He was sent home with an anti-inflammatory, instructions for rest and massage of the sore area.
—————————–
Paralyzed
—————————–
BUT… he deteriorated.
In fact he became partially paralyzed.
So when I saw him yesterday morning, he could NOT stand.
He had delayed reflexes – he Knuckled on his right and left rear legs.
His spine was being compressed by the prolapsing disc, resulting in partial paralysis.
He could NOT urinate on his own.
———————————-
WHAT to do?
———————————
At this point you start to think about surgery- a referral back surgery.
His owner wanted to try a few conservative things first.
1. A urinary catheter, so he could pass urine and NOT damage his bladder.
2. An inject-able anti-inflammatory/pain reliever. I gave him an injection of something similar he had the previous day.
3. Acupressure. He was an ideal case to try this out on.
I performed 4 acupressure treatments.
I made contact over the sore point (L5-L6) the lower lumbar spine, just in front of the start of the pelvis – and 2 additional acupressure points:
GV4, and GV20 – The same points that I teach in the Acupressure Video.
It’s at http://www.theonlinevet.com
——————————–
And what happened to Cheech?
——————————–
Up and WALKING the next day.
He urinated on his own.
Yes he is still stiff and painful, but the Knuckling was GONE.
IN fact he went home with one VERY elated owner yesterday – and I gave his owner specifics on how to perform Acupressure at home.
——————————————
Did this happen because of Acupressure?
——————————————
Maybe- or maybe not.
But that is the FASTEST recovery from a spinal injury that I have ever seen.
And I have seen many in 15 years.
Will I use Acupressure again?
Ah YES

Thanks to Charlotte McGowan for the message below “Watch Your Language”
which is especially appropriate right now for Texas. HSUS and Texas Humane
Legislation Network (assisted by all Texas “animal rights” groups) have a
publicity campaign in full swing to get a “Puppy Mill” Bill passed by our
state legislature during the upcoming session. The HSUS media campaign had
already begun nationwide with “Baby,” the three-legged dog supposedly
rescued from a puppy mill. To the extremists anyone who breeds dogs is a
“puppy mill.” They work in incremental steps to end all use and interaction
with animals until their goal is eventually accomplished. We hope you’ll
read Charlotte’s message carefully and tell your friends. Charlotte is an
AKC judge and exhibitor.

From Charlotte McGowan:
I would like to make some observations about language. The animal rights
people want to change language to help them in their quest to give animals
legal standing and we are helping them. Time to stop.
Adopting – this is a term used for humans. We don’t adopt animals. Sorry,
rescues don’t offer dogs for adoption either. They offer them for placement.
They re-home them. But they aren’t adopted. If money changes hands, they
sell them. A shelter here in Mass grosses over $700,000 a year selling
imported shelter strays, mutts and feral street dogs. They go for $350 a
pop. They don’t rescue in my opinion, they keep product in the store! They
have a big so-called not for profit 501(c)3 business. If we start calling it
like it is (and I do) believe me you are going to feel so much better. Now
if a purebred rescue collects money from someone for a dog, they are taking
money as a placement or re-homing fee or they are asking to be reimbursed
for expenses related to the re-homing. If you need it to be warmer and
fuzzier, it is humane re-homing. Let’s drop adoption. Animal rights people
love us if we help them. Let’s stop helping them.
Fostering – This is a term used for children taken by the state and put in
the care of people not their parents. We don’t foster dogs. We provide
temporary care for displaced dogs. Sorry if you find that awkward but we can
all benefit by retraining ourselves.
Guardian – legal term used for the legally responsible person caring for a
minor child or incapacitated person. I think we get this one. We have to
fight Guardian language in animal ordinances tooth and nail because a
guardian takes away ownership from the owner. If you own a dog it is yours.
If you are a guardian, you are not an owner. You are a person or entity with
legal care responsibility. If dogs have guardians instead of owners, we no
longer have ownership rights.
Puppy Mill- There is no such thing. Puppy mill is a slur, like the “n…..”
word. Let’s stop using it. We hate substandard kennels. We want all dogs to
be kept well. Well kept dogs are well kept dogs whether they are in kennels
or in homes. It isn’t about how many dogs there are it is about how well
they are kept. HSU$ calls all farms factory farms. When have you ever heard
them talk about or care about family farms? Now they call all breeders
puppy mills. They try to mumble in a remote footnote that there might be
some good breeders but for them it is all about shelters and if not shelters
rescues. Do you get it? They use language to slander all animal use and all
dog breeders. Their mumbled lip service doesn’t fly with me.
Rescue – what is a rescue? To me, IMHO, it is taking on the care and
rehoming of a dog in a true need situation. This includes when the owners
are incapacitated or die, have to go into a care facility like a nursing
home, lose their home, etc. When some one just wants to dump a dog because
they are tired of it, that’s a disposal job. I am not nice to such people.
When purebred rescues go into auctions and buy dogs I call that just plain
dumb. That is assisting and supporting commercial breeders. Some people may
not agree but supporting this sort of thing does absolutely nothing for
purebred dogs.
Words that do not belong in the language at all – furbabies, furkids, fur
children. All of these terms make animals into children who (gasp) need
guardians, adoption and fostering.
So I hope you watch your language!

Does Ms. McGowan breed dogs by any chance or is she strictly a judge and pet owner. If anyone has any info that would be great.
