As luck would have it, my Pekingese Clyde starting limping late on a Friday evening, after the vet we had been seeing for several years was closed for the weekend. With the intention of checking on Clyde’s condition on the next morning, I tucked him in for the evening, which somehow helped  before deciding whether to visit the emergency vet clinic. Compared to our regular vet, the rates were so out of sight so I tried to avoid the emergency clinic in town. Animal Chiropractic

Clyde got better but not 100% on Saturday morning. Until I could feel the muscles relax, I spent some time massaging him again, taking care to hold pressure on trigger points. I didn’t worry too much since Clyde seemed calm. 

Clyde’s muscle spasms were quite violent by then. I held his tiny body close while I typed some keyword phrases into a search engine, and started looking for clues about what might be wrong. Since the name “Dr. Ava Frick” and “Ava Frick, DVM” kept popping in the engine search results, I visited her web site and called her clinic. Animal Pain Relief

Upon arriving at Dr. Frick’s clinic in Union, Missouri, her staff quickly made us feel comfortable. I got the impression that her staff cared about their patients just as much as Dr.Frick did. Dr. Frick performed an examination to find out what might be wrong after obtaining Clyde’s complete medical history. She started canine chiropractic treatments immediately and then set up schedules for succeeding treatments. 

Clyde’s treatment relieved him and made him comfortable, which is the most important. Finding someone who is really an expert on how to solve Clyde’s pain although I had never heard of the chiropractic techniques used on animals, I was very happy. 

Though Dr. Frick said that we had made it through the rough part, my little boy would need a few more chiropractic visits to keep his condition from being chronic. Dog Pain Relief
