Thanks. That really great to hear. Dixie and Daisy have both passed (16+ years each), so it's wonderful to know they're still helping other dogs. Much appreciated. Best, Gary C.

Hi Chris, I'm so, so sorry to hear about Myley. I hope it's only temporary and she recovers over time. She'll be in my thoughts. Best, Gary

Thank you for saying that. I really appreciate it. Last Saturday she jumped off the couch and it paralyzed her backend We’ve been practicing walking and trying to keep her muscles stretched. Since then she can move her tail a little bit and she can Twitch her legs some. She can’t control number one . But number two, she’s able to work her bottom Do you have any suggestions on what I can do or tips or any advice whatsoever. I could tell This morning that the main knot on her lower back by her tail has went down significantly. She seems extra tired today but last night she slept better than I’ve ever seen her sleep for about 12 hours. I haven’t left her side and we will not give up. I’m very grateful for your reply, I was just putting it out there to the universe and you answered the call out of care and love. Thank You! Chris and Myley Thomas

I would just keep gently massaging the tight spots, and the whole area in general. Sounds like she may just need some healing time. Massage will bring more bloodflow. But only do it at the level that feels good to her. If she yelps you are going to hard. If you can put an ice pack on the area too that would be good, but most dogs don't like getting iced. Hope this helps, Gary

Again thank you so very much. I Just had one more question if you don’t mind. Can I lay her on her back on something soft during the massages? It’s been one week and I didn’t know if it would hurt her or cause any harm

I don't really know because I'm not there to assess in person, but if it doesn't hurt her to be in that position I think it would be fine. I'm not sure why you would want to lie her on her back? Wouldn't you want her on her belly or on her side to be able to work on her back? Best, Gary C.

You are very welcome. I'm thrilled that you were able to help your dog with these techniques. It truly warms my heart. All the best, Gary C.

That's great to hear! Yes, works on people too! haha Best, Gary C.

Hello saschadubin, Thanks! It certainly is nice to be able to help out our loyal friends. All the best, Gary C.

You are very welcome. Dixie and Daisy were happy to help. All the best, Gary C.

Dixie and Daisy would be thrilled to know their videos are still helping other dogs. I'm thrilled to hear it as well. Warm Regards, Gary C.

@GWD LABS a little bit.. Sometimes he will stand and try to take a few steps. I recently got a tens unit that I am curious to try on him. I've been seeing that underwater therapy would be great for him, too.

@@sarahtara5546 hope he gets better, what did the vet say when going through him?

@@bigsisterreflections thank you.. Me too. He has been walking and standing a little bit more, but not much. The vets i talked to weren't much help, besides a homeopathic one who i can't afford right now. She called his condition without even seeing him, which i looked up and it seemed more correct than what any other vet suggested. I forgot the name, but i will look it up and get back to you.

@@sarahtara5546 aww yes vets kinda are like doctors, a lottery. Second and third opinions are often needed yet sometimes it's hard to accept there's no cure. Still hope for miracles though, please look it up. The more we know about these type of conditions the more we might be able to aid

@@bigsisterreflections Here is the condition the homeopathic / naturopathic vet suggested : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZiZkthn1J-VkYU.html

How is your dog doing?

Hows ur dog

Anai Zuniga , cbd oil

Hello, am so sorry about your dog, how is he doing?, am currently going trough the same thing with mine

I’m going through the same thing with my dog and it’s a female dog she’s 5 years old

You are very welcome. I hope it helps. All the best, Gary C.

Hello Cynthia, You can do this as prevention or do it when your pooch is in pain. I know those weiner dogs can have spine issues, so prevention would probably be great! All the best, Gary Crowley

***** thanks! I did it on my dog and put a homemade heating pad on his back. You can definitely tell he felt relaxed. Thank you so much! :)

Just start very gently and then slowly add more pressure. Only do what your dog can relax into. Then just notice if it helps. You can do it. Best, Gary C.

Yes, Dixie and Daisy have passed after a great 16 and 17 years of great living. We still miss them, but they had a great life. Thanks for watching! All the best, Gary C.

Hi Lavina, You can do both. If you do it regularly you can help him to not get spasms, but if he gets one and is okay with you working on him, then feel free to work on him to give him relief. Hope that helps. Best, Gary C.

It should be able to give them some relief, but you'll probably have to do it regularly to keep the tissue free that will tighten up again due to the spondylosis. Best, Gary C.

Hello, I think your pooch may benefit from my Dog Hip Pain video with the diva, Daisy Dog www.diyjointpainrelief.com/dog-hip-pain-relief.html#Hip Thanks for the condolences. I still miss Dixie and Daisy every day.

Start her off with some joint supplement and try cbd oil google some reviews on it n testimonials for dogs on it

Very sorry to hear it. Spondylosis is tough since it's bones and the discs that are deteriorating, so if my techniques help then I'd say keep doing them. I would wonder about your silkie having a stroke. The walking in circles makes me wonder about a stroke, so I would wonder what the vet would say about that. Sorry I don't have more to offer. Best, Gary C.

Hi Kenicia, I'd gently rub her neck the way I show you at a level where she doesn't yelp. I do know some dogs yelp before you even touch them, so you could start by just gently resting your hand there, then a light petting, then ever so gentle massage, then maybe a bit deeper if your dog will let you. I do hope that helps. All the best, Gary C.

Hey Chris, Getting away from my area of expertise. Time for advice from a Vet I'm afraid. Sorry.

You can gently try these techniques and see if they help. If it hurts too much too work on her then I would stop, but try gently working on her. It may give her relief.

Dixie was exactly the same. Very funny!

It may mean that they have a more serious injury that requires a vet. BUT, if your dog is just protective you might start touching them in a way they like and very slowly start working on them (gently) until they know you are helping them. I know it's tricky. I hope it works out for you and your dog. Best, Gary C.

That's a question for a vet. Sorry.

Absolutely not! Under no circumstances can you give a dog acetaminophen or ibuprofen. It is toxic and will cause serious liver damage, among other things.

Only do it if you can do it gently enough so he doesn't have to flinch when you're working on him. Best, Gary C.

Hi Lisa, tough to tell you via the internet. Just do your best to observe them and see where they seem to lack mobility then try to free the tight tissue in that area. Or just work their entire spine from neck to tail and see where they seem to be tight. Your dog will probably really enjoy it if you just work the whole spine and then go from what you discover. Best, Gary C.

Gary Crowley thank you for the reply

I would do it as prevention and when he has an attack. I don't know in your case if it will help, but if there is tight tissue along his spine and you release it, it should only help. I do wish you the best, Gary C.

+Gary Crowley thank you so much for your reply. Our little guy had another attack last night and we tried this method and it seemed to bring great relief for him! The episode didn't last as long as usual and his back relaxed. I'm so thankful that I stumbled across your video!

Ahhh, that's wonderful to hear! Thanks for letting me and others know my techniques helped. I do appreciate it. All the best, Gary C.
