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
