CanEVA-K9 - Hollistic Help For An Older Setter (Elk Velvet
Antler)
by Dr. Leo Rosenberg, Chiropractor
Chelsea is an 11 yr. old female English Setter. Prior to her chiropractic consultation, she had been limping
for three weeks. Apparently, she had jumped off the porch, started favouring
her left hind leg and had to be lifted on to the couch; she was struggling to
go up the stairs. Before consulting me, she had been prescribed two aspirin
(81 mg. each) per day as well as glucosamine. The limping, listlessness and
left knee clicking continued.
On examination, Chelsea was “bunny hopping”, lifting
and favouring the left hind leg.
She was tender at the lowest low back vertebra (L7) and yelped
when pressure was applied. Her reflexes were normal and there was no evidence
of a cruciate ligament tear in the knee, (“drawer sign” exhibited
normal mobility).
Chiropractic spinal adjustments were administered to relieve
the spinal twisting and subsequent nerve pressure to the left hind leg. Activity
was partially and temporarily restricted. Two capsules or scoops/day of CanEVA-K9
was prescribed as Chelsea demonstrated some aging, arthritic symptoms such as
clicking sounds and tenderness of the pelvic areas.
Within 6 chiropractic adjustments and two weeks of CanEVA-K9
(Elk Velvet Antler) she was “limping less, more frisky and clicking less”.
Prior to the CanEVA-K9 and chiropractic care, Chelsea had been taking another
popular glucosamine blend with no improvement.
Further improvement is anticipated with reduced frequency of
chiropractic care.
Continued use of CanEVA-K9 is recommended to maintain joint
flexibility of the spine and extremities. John and Edie, Chelsea’s owners
claim that she is putting more weight on her left hind leg.
“I think it’s great” was Edie’s comment!
