ACUPUNCTURE DOG

Granby, CT - I have been bringing my dog Thatcher to "Frontier Medicine for Animals" for acupuncture and chiropractic treatments to treat his Hydrocephalus (Water-on-the-brain). The Vets at Frontier Medicine for Animals treat with alternative therapies, acupuncture and chiropractic. I noticed Thatcher seems to be getting better even after one treatment last week; I just hope he can continue getting better to at least to the level he was a few months ago.



The Vets office.


Inside is a very comfortable waiting room with a soft couch, oriental rugs on the floor, and Buddhist prayer flags in the window.


Dr. Amy Matthews VMD Phd. is watching Thatcher after placing the acupuncture needles in specific locations to help him with his ailment. I am not sure how the "magic" works but hey, after thousand of years of treating over a billion patients, it must have something to it. So I hope these treatments get his "chi" in order so he can get on with his life.


I addition to the acupuncture he also gets some chiropractic treatments done. Here Dr. Matthews works on Thatcher's neck with the help of her assistant Wendi.
