Duckie has a new lease on life! 🥰
Here is Duckie's story told from her sweet mom's own words:
"We have seen Dr. Kari for over a year now for our pocket bully, Duckie Rose. For the majority of her care it has been maintenance simply to keep her up and going with some breed predisposition.
Duckie was doing so well and we had some financial changes in our house, so we stopped going regularly to see Dr. Kari. But! About a month ago Duckie incurred a back injury that left her with what the vet diagnosed as IVDD, or slipped disc. Leaving her paralyzed in her back end, we were told by a vet that she would have to have surgery or that we would have to make a “quality of life” decision for her.
We did not and would not give up on Duckie!!! And we are in NO financial state to pay for a surgery. After all, we believe in alternative and holistic healing for ourselves and we believe the same for our pets!!!
We called Dr. Kari the same day as her diagnosis and she was able to fit us in just a few hours later that same day!!!! She delivered us the BEST news we had heard, that Miss Duckie Rose would be able to walk again, without surgery!!! We were given a tentative timeline by Dr. Kari for healing, and some therapy to do with her at home. After regular adjustments and the therapy and care at home, Duckie has been able wag her tail, stand and now even walk!!! Without much assistance!!! We do use a special harness to assist her for certain activities and we still have some healing ahead. But, we went from complete paralysis in her hind end, to leg movement and walking within weeks!!!
Dr. Kari has been such a blessing to our family and will forever hold a special place in our hearts for her healing hands and how much she cares for pets of all shapes and sizes!!! We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our fur babies and we are so glad for Duckie’s new lease on life!!!"
It is such a blessing to be able to care for families like this 💙 Please like and share to help other sweet fur babies who may be experiencing situations like this with no hope!
