Its the best 6 bucks i have ever spent.

Yes Brownie is a rockstar, but more important he is my rockstar!

Did I ever tell y'all that Brownie was baptised? My former church was having a baptism for pets. Brownie was a little over a year old and I only have had him a couple of months. So when it was our turn to walk forward I was so proud to have this beautiful animal by my side, and so excited he was finally mine! Knowing he would never be neglected again. So the pastor puts a few drops of water on Brownies head, and saids a prayer. Then the pastor reaches out to shake my hand. What did Brownie do? Before I knew it he lunged at the pastor and almost knocked him down. Luckly the pastor laughed it off, and said "way to protect your mama Brownie."  Lol

For some reasons I keep having old memories of Brownie and I spinning in my head.

Brownie has his appointment today with his Hollostic Vet.  When Dr. Knapp and her team came in they started applauding Brownie!  That was so unexpected, but made us feel really good!  Tomorrow will be 11 months since Brownie's diagnoses.  They are cheering him on!  I really appreciate their support, unlike his GP who said the rest of his time is Icing on the Cake.

So Dr. Knapp looked at Brownie's X-ray and said In the L1,2 and 3 lumbar the pain is moderate, and the L 5 and 6 is mild.  Brownie had his first round of acupuncture and will have two more one week apart.  Depending on how Brownie does we will continue with once a month treatments.  We will also start his Ozone treatments again, but for now I am more concerned with his pain.  I brought up Brownie's bowel issues.  How Brownie does not know he is going until it happens.  She said since Brownie is an mature fellow, it may be that his brain is not sending out the signal in time.  So we are trying a supplement called Cholodin to see if that helps any.

As some of you know I have been concerned with Brownie's hack.  He has had two lung X-rays in the last four months by two different vets.  They both said he had old man scarring in the lungs and allergies.  Brownie hacked in front of Dr. Knapp.  I said "that's it that's the hack". I was relieved when she said "Oh, that's nothing, that is what I call an Old Mans Cough".  So relieved  to hear that! I also learned that Riydmal  has been proven to slow down the growth of tumors.  I thought that was interesting.

Brownie came home, took a drink of water, and then put himself to bed on his Urban Sprawl Bed with his blanket.  He is sacked out!

A special thanks to Paula for posting about acupuncture.  I remember reading about it, but it completely slipped my mind  until I read Paula's post in Ava's forum.

Thanks Paula!!!

Thank you all for the kind words! We are just taking one day at a time. Today Brownie seems to be having a pretty good day. I'm hopeing a couple more rounds of accupunture will help. I snuck out and got Brownie his favorite rabbit stick for 7:00 treat time. Thought he deserves something special. And of course Sassy and Max too...
