We’ve used acupuncture on our 13-14 y.o. Aussie mix since we adopted him almost 5 years ago. I think the acupuncture has allowed him continued mobility over the years, and he’s just now starting to slow down.
We previously used acupuncture on our English Shepherd to increase her appetite and decrease nausea after she developed liver disease. It worked very well for close to two years.
I haven’t been able to find a good human acupuncturist, but I’ve got a great acupressure massage therapist for my three compressed vertebra. It’s specialized massage, not your run-of-the-mill massage, and it doesn’t feel all that great when you’re getting it, but it really helps.
