Valentine is a 22-year-old Hackney Pony that had suffered for days
with colic and other issues before coming to the rescue. Upon
examination by the vet, we learned that she sustained blunt trauma that
resulted in nerve damage in her spinal cord; and she had a lot of
swelling in her hocks that travelled up to her tummy. She had
little to no sense of where her back legs were.
After being treated with chiropractic and acupuncture we saw an
immediate improvement. Val couldn't swish her tail before the
treatment. The next day she swished it one way. Now, she can
swish it both ways! She still can't pass manure all on her own,
and we have to clean her out every other day. We think she
complies easily because she can't feel it but yesterday when I cleaned
her out she was a bit uncomfortable -- perhaps she is getting feeling
back? We hope so - she's a doll!
