K-LASER


When I took Mac to the vet the other day for his bi-annual blood panel, my vet told me he is trying this new innovative treatment called K-Laser. It’s little flashes of light to stimulate cell activity and increase blood flow, which increases circulation. It reduces inflammation, stiffness, speeds healing and provides pain relief.  He said the only thing your pet might feel is a little warmth so he keeps it moving. 

Lasers have gained popularity in the last few years because of their ability to treat such a wide range of ailments.  They are FDA approved and can be used on both humans and animals.  I read the brochure and also looked it up online. I read about a paralyzed dog with two ruptured discs that could walk again after 5 treatments. 

He would start out with 3 treatments the first week, 2 the second week, 1 the third and then as needed but probably once a week for a while.  The brochure said the majority of patients had more mobility within 12 to 24 hours after treatment. 

Mac’s back right leg has been wobblier than usual.  Petsmart quit carrying the Avoderm Senior so I tried a variety of other holistic foods, including Acana, which is wonderful but it has too much protein.  He just seems to walk better with the Avoderm. After contacting every nearby pet food store to see if they could get it for me, I am ordering it online.  It will take a while to get back in his system but between the Adequan shots, the Avoderm and now the K-Laser, I’m hoping to keep him walking for many more years.
