Meet Clyde, a 10 year old Chocolate Lab who ruptured a disc in 2008 and paralyzed his rear quarters. Clyde had surgery however he still drags his leg. He receives acupuncture and also goes for aqua therapy on a regular basis. He is one of the sweetest patients I treat. He is so cooperative and allows me to needle any points needed and lets me follow up with a stinky Chinese herbal liniment massage. Such a good boy! You can read more about Clyde on Happy Dog Page

Labs have a tendency to be food driven and can gain weight very quickly. They also love to swim. His owners put up a pool in their yard just for him. Now he can swim everyday weather permitting and get the exercise he needs. Clyde is a very happy boy thanks to his owners. How many dogs can say they have their own pool?
