Special Feature: Before & After Video

This week we are featuring a case submitted by All Creatures Veterinary Hospital during the Make a Case with Companion Case Study Contest.  The before and after video of Barney is incredible.  Thanks to All Creatures Veterinary Hospital for sharing this!

Barney’s Case Details

On 7/29/13, Barney came to All Creatures Veterinary Hospital for weakness in the right hind limb. Doctors administered Depo-Medrol that day and also recommended strict confinement for 5 to 7 days. The doctors suspected Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVD).

On 8/16/13, Barney came back to All Creatures with no improvement and was now paralyzed in both hind limbs. There was deep pain present in all toes.

Laser therapy was started on 8/16/13, using the Pain/Trauma setting on Barney’s thoracic and lumbar spine, both hips, stifles, and toes, every other day. After only three sessions, Barney was walking with a wobbly stance. By the 6th session, Barney’s stance and gate were back to 100%.
