Alpha-Stim Treatments Offer Packaged Benefits to Anxiety-Riddled Chihuahua

It has been a couple of weeks that I have adopted Shakira, a long-haired Chihuahua and we still have not learned how to get along with each other.  Shakira’s character was aggressive and seemed do not want me around.  Despite the trainings she had before I brought her home, she kept continuing to have accidents in the house.  Animal Cranial ElectroTherapy Stimulation

As hard as I was trying to love her and get along, this little dog was causing so much anxiety in my life.  A message forum is something I am not familiar with but I said OK.  We both sat down and Shyla’s fingers did the rest.  Within a few minutes, we were scrolling through some comments made by people who happened to live here in the area.  Several people discussed the great details of positive results they got when they brought their pets to Midwest Microcurrent. 

Next morning came, I called and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ava Frick at Midwest Microcurrent.  When Shakira and I visited her clinic, Dr. Frick was very friendly and approachable and showed her committment in her field.  Animal Pain Relief

We discussed Shakira’s behavior and Dr. Frick asked me if I had ever given any thought to the idea that Shakira was suffering from anxiety.  I felt guilty of being worried of my own anxiety and never thought that pets would feel anxiety the same way. 

I informed Dr. Frick and she agreed on my idea of not giving my dog any canine anti-depressants.  She firmly believes on the philosophy of using holistic alternatives in treating pet anxiety or animal depression.  Our course of treatment for Shakira included using the Alpha-Stim Stress Control System rather than medication.  My dog started to calm down in a few hours after the first treatment. 

Since it takes more than an hour each way when driving to Dr. Frick’s clinic and Shakira would be needing more treatment, I decided to buy a home version of the Alpha-Stim and thought it would be a worthy investment.  Shakira’s improvement continues and I found it easy to use.  Her behavior is so much better and we have become best friends.  Animal Chiropractic

Appropriate Nutrition Alleviates Diabetic Cat on Daily Insulin Injections

  Poor Brutus!  I always frieve whenever I recall our then six-year-old cat’s life.  Dr. Frick told us that weighing 20 pounds was 8 to 9 pounds over the normal.  Animal Joint Pain

  Two years prior, our vet where we used to live diagnosed Brutus with diabetes, and we had been giving him 6 units of insulin two times each day.  Our old vet told us to feed Brutus with special dry food for diabetic cats. 

Then my friend told me me that her sister-in-law took her dog to a credible veterinarian and was impressed with the outcome.    That veterinarian turned out to be Dr.  Ava Frick, and we are so glad that we found out about her clinic. 

Brutus had flaky dandruff coming off and his fur was deadening when we took him to Dr. Frick forthe first time.  He used to  take in excessive amount of water and urinate 10-12 times daily.  He appeared to be starving most of the time and beg for food like a dog.    He was also very cranky and never wanted to be around the family any longer 

In a week’s time when we brought Brutus to Dr. Frick’s clinic,  she ran some tests on him and explained to us the serious concerns regarding his blood sugar levels, which were found to be like a rollercoaster.  It goes up and down endlessly.   Animal Pain Relief

Dr. Frick performed an experiment on Brutus by taking him off the insulin for a short while and reintroduced it.    She changed his diet to a canned, low-carb food, and began a routine of 2 units of insulin every 12 hours. 

In just a period of two days, his blood sugar levels returned to normal.  Furthermore, his overweening thirst and urination ended. 

Brutus has improved so much a year later.    He has lost almost five pounds, the normal luster of his coat has returned, and he only goes to his litter box three or four times daily.  Craving for food became a thing in the past and his grouchiness returned to his old and loving personality.  Animal Chiropractic
