Here’s 7 Chai’s story:
Our aging dog, 7 Chai, will be 18 years old this coming June. She was diagnosed with CCD (Canine Cognitive Dysfunction aka dog dementia) early last year. She also suffered from joints and aches pain and immobility on both her hind legs. We bought her for acupuncture at Asia Paws under Dr Susanna, and she was prescribed with homeopathy (for her CCD) and some herbs in powder form for her daily intake. I do some physiotherapy exercises for her hinds leg movement daily too. (Got the video clips downloaded from you tube). I can say for now she is aging gracefully and have much better mobility too. In the past, she did not enjoy her daily evening walks due to the severe pain on both her hind legs. We are trying our best to give her quality life as she is entering her late senior life too.
7 Chai also has reiki sessions twice a week, from Daniel.
