The session is over after half an hour. The little chihuahua is placed in his basket and Mrs. B thanks me profusely for trying. I tell her that most dogs who receive acupuncture treatment feel tired the next day and that she should call me if she is worried about any symptoms which develop following our treatment. The next day Mrs. B calls me and said that her boy his doing good, he seems to have more energy, and he is slowly able to stand and walk. I was much surprised. I did not expect this to be possible! So she makes another appointment to see me in 3 days. Usually for difficult problems acupuncture is prescribed 2-3 time a week initially.
For people who want to know the points I used, I give the following summary-GV-16, GV-20, Bl-10, GB-20, GB 21, TH-17, GV-14, LI-11, LI-4, Bl-18, Bl- 23, Bai Wei, St -36, GB-34. I also prescribed a course of chinese herbs for the little guy to support our acupuncture treatments.
This case turned out to be very successful for acupuncture. Mr. Chihuahua received a total of 8 treatments (usually the average number of treatments for improvement is around 6-10 in my experience but sometimes I see immediate improvement with one treatment) After a few weeks the dog was walking normally and the Mrs. B was so happy that I get a call every week from her thanking me for saving her puppy. The above point formula may look like a foreign language to you but with further posts, I will try to give a simplified version of these acupuncture points.
