Khan's Story

Khan is a seven year old German Shepherd Dog. He suffers from CDRM, a condition specific to this breed. The equivalent condition in humans is Multiple Sclerosis. His owner Fay writes:

Khan was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy in July 2007 which was devastating news for myself and my husband. We wanted to do everything we could to slow down the progression of the disease and along with exercise, herbal supplements and homeopathy we decided to try acupuncture, to relieve the soreness in his back caused by the fact that his spine had to take more weight to support the hind legs.

At this point we were sceptical that the dog would survive the next couple of months as he looked very poor and weak and was deteriorating before our eyes. After the first session of acupuncture I could see that I was getting my dog back! He became livelier, more mobile and much, much stronger. At the start Khan was having weekly acupuncture treatments, and under Emma's advice we managed to reduce it gradually, and 6 months later he is having a maintenance session once every four weeks.

Khan looks fantastic at the moment, I fully believe the acupuncture has given him a new lease of life, 99% of people would not know there was anything wrong with him!!!

I wholeheartedly recommend acupuncture as a treatment for your animal, and can thoroughly recommend Emma, as without her I would have lost my dog months ago.
