Corky my lovable and energetic Lhasa Apso is a agility expert.In no time, Corky became the champion in the agility ring.Running through the tunnels was one of his favorite activities.He lives for our training sessions and competitions.On my sixteenth birthday, I received Corky as a gift.Corky won't stay put in one place, he was running around like crazy and even destroyed stuff in the house and ate our food.I didin't know what to do and I was very upset about the whole thing.One day, I told myself that I should check out the internet for some answers.I learned that hyperactive dogs like mine are sometimes the best athletes and the good thing was I stumbled a training center for agility dogs.I noticed that Corky was tamer and he really mellowed down after several training sessions. Animal Depression
Corky slowed down when age took its toll on him.His movement became stiff and he was frequently off balanced.I told myself that maybe it was time to retire him.He despised his retirement.Corky began showing signs of anxiety and depression.I check the internet again for answers so I can help Corky.I found a center that uses electronic current to help pets achieve balance in their bodies, it's called Midwest Microcurrent.This place is more than my expectations.

After a thorough evaluation by some o the staff at Midwest Microcurrent, Corky was diagnosed with arthritis, anxiety and depression.I got all excited when I was advised that I could do the Alpha-Stim sessions at home.We could purchase a Alpha-Stim machine and treat him without having to bring him back to the Midwest Microcurrent center every day.I'm so happy that Midwest Microcurrent has helped me in bringing back the old Corky.Dog anxiety and canine depression are main causes of canine health deterioration.Dog cranial electrotherapy stimulation or CES is included in Corky's therapy.This relieved the anxiety, depression and pain in one session by using a proprietary waveform which is clipped to the ear.The Alpha-Stim Control System uses tiny electrical impulses to stimulate the impulses in the body.By putting the electrodes directly on Corky’s hips we were able to relieve most of the arthritis pain.We were able to achieve dog pain relief by using physical therapy.Corky underwent another therapy called underwater treadmill to help him attain the level of fitness as he had before.After one Alpha-Stim sesssion, Corky was put into a more relaxed state and he'd sleep well when we got home.

It’s hard to recognize when your pet is depressed.Sometimes it's hard to determine if your pet is in painAfter my husband died, I began having problems with my pet.My husband died about three years after I retired.He always kept me busy.He has formed a strong bond with our dog; they'd go anywhere together.I’m a homebody.If given a choice between indoors and outdoors, I'd choose the former.Our dog loved his outings more than anything else. Canine Depression
I knew that my dog will have to get to used to some major changes after my husband passed away.This was his most loved activity of all, next to riding a car.I noticed that something was wrong.I checked myself into a senior facility six months later after I sold my house; I brought the dog with me.At that time, I thought my dog has moved on and adjusted with the absence of my husband.After I moved in, I adjusted quickly.Comparing my previous lifestyle and life at the home, the latter was a lot laid back.I bonded more with my pet.He slept a lot and I thought he adjusted to the loss of my husband; with that I can focus more on my reading and needlework.But then I noticed that he wouldn’t get up to bark at the gardeners.He always did this. Pet Pain Relief
I checked out the internet for vets in the area and found one not too far away.According to the vet, my dog is suffering from depression and animal arthritis.The pain medication was very hard on my dog.He seemed to get every side effect the medication had.The medication for the depression didn't work, so I checked out other vets.I wasn't sure if the pain from the animal arthritis caused the depression or the depression made the pain worse, I needed to look for a vet that can treat both.
I found Midwest Microcurrent a veterinarian who specializes in restoring health and animal pain relief.This facility uses a small electrical current to help the body restore itself to its peak performance and facilitate healing.After the first dog cranial electrotherapy stimulation treatment, or CES treatment, seemed to sleep better and to have more energy.It seemed that the treatment was working for the depression.By applying the microcurrent electrical therapy or MET on my dog's hips, dog pain relief was achieved.I could lease the equipment and do it at home.My dog is now in top shape and barking at the gardeners, finally!Dog Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation
