Hi Friend,

My older dogs Jessie had some VERY unusual symptoms recently.

Jessie as you know is unable to speak, but he can communicate well with body language.

Jessie was hunched over, and his spine twisted to one side.

He was reluctant to lift his head.

He yelped when he walked, and was limping on his left fore leg.

Physical exam showed that the leg was not particularly painful, BUT extreme pain when I manipulated his neck..

Jessie had BACK pain.

Back pain is particularly common in low, long dogs, such as Dachshunds.

I also see it in the highly active dogs that do a lot of jumping, such as Border Collies.

Anything that puts undo pressure on the spine can cause a back spasm.

I recently finished a NEW Inner Circle video called Back Pain in Dogs and Cats: Signs, Causes and the TOP Natural Solutions

You can get a copy here:

Here are some of the remedies that I used:


PAIN RELIEF. HOMEOPATHIC. When a back injury suddenly occurs, Arnica can help. The dose is 2 pellets of 30C given twice daily.

MASSAGE. Feel the muscles along the spine and if you can find a knot, press directly on that spot. Begin gently, and slowly apply more pressure to the area. Repeat the massage twice daily.

COMPRESS AWAY. The type of compress depends upon the injury. For a sudden injury accompanied by inflammation, ice is helpful. Apply a block of frozen ice wrapped in a towel for 15 minutes 2-3 times daily for 2 days. When the injury is more long-term, then applying heat is more appropriate. Wrap a hot water bottle in a towel and apply it 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes to the affected area.

ACUPRESSURE- especially the GV4, and GV 20 points.
