Head to Tail Animal Chiropractic

Miss Goose came to us with “wry neck,” a condition where the neck is twisted and kinked. Possible causes include nutritional deficiency (usually Vit E & Selenium), toxicity (eating something they shouldn’t have), or physical trauma. The owner has been very thorough with exploring/addressing all three possible causes, including bringing her in for a chiropractic adjustment. She was out of alignment in her upper cervical region, several lower cervical segments, and a couple places along her back. We followed up with her owner a few days later and she still has wry neck (which may take a couple weeks to resolve, depending on what caused it) but she has had more energy and has been able to walk around outside on her own more than she was before.

A little information about the animal chiropractic profession. Text credit to Dr. Katie Lackey. (And yes, Sasha the cat is watching a wildlife video while getting her adjustment! 😻)

🐾 To become certified in animal chiropractic, you can first become a vet (DVM) or chiropractor (DC). You can then take post grad education (220+ hours) from an AVCA or IVCA approved program. Upon completion, you are eligible to sit for a certification exam. To maintain your status, you must complete 30 hours of animal chiro specific CE every 3 years in addition to the CE required to maintain chiropractic licensure.

Many people don’t know this. They assume animal chiropractic is some niche thing that you can take a weekend course and then go offer your services to the public. This is not the case.

Animal chiropractic is not just a modality that you should pull out of your tool kit when an animal has back pain. It is a completely different approach to care.

Instead of asking: there’s a fire here- what tool do I need to put it out?

It begs the question: what started this fire and how can I make sure it doesn’t happen again?

Or better: there’s warning signs a fire might start, let’s reduce the risk now before it ever begins.

Animal chiropractors seek to optimize the body’s own ability to heal itself.

We find areas of reduced mobility and restore motion so that bones and muscles can work optimally so they can signal the nervous system that controls them correctly.

Animal chiropractic is separate and distinct from vet medicine.

Beyond the labs, vaccines, and parasite prevention and other important things that happen at your vet’s office, animal chiropractic can help to support your animal’s well being naturally between vet visits.

I donate adjustments to Lazy B as often as I can. They are selfless people working hard to help as many horses as they can. If you want to donate to a good cause that helps animals, you can’t do better than this. They are a local non-profit and 100% of donations goes towards helping the animals.

🚨 DAY 2 UPDATE: 90 STARVING HORSES NEED HELP 🚨

Friday AM update: together we have raised $5,300! That’s 5 lives that are saved ❤️

That means 2 horses are officially safe.

Two horses that will receive food, veterinary care, and a real chance at recovery instead of ending up at auction.

But 88 horses are still waiting.

Right now 20 of the weakest horses have been gathered into a corral and need rescue immediately. Many are dangerously thin, with body scores between 1 and 3. Some are pregnant mares, others are young horses who have never been handled or received basic care.

They have 30 days to find rescue placement before the remaining horses are sent to auction.

Lazy B has the space, experience, and quarantine facilities ready to help them.

The only thing standing in the way is funding.

It costs about $1,000 to rescue and stabilize each horse, including:

• Emergency refeeding program
• Veterinary evaluation
• Vaccines and deworming
• Farrier care
• Transport to Lazy B
• Quarantine and rehabilitation

So far:

❤️ $2,400 raised
❤️ 2 horses saved

But we need to keep going.

Every $1,000 means another horse gets pulled to safety.

If 10 people give $100, that saves a horse.
If 50 people give $20, that saves a horse.

Big and small donations truly add up.

Please donate if you can, and please share this post so it reaches more people. One share can make the difference for the next horse.

This cute girl loved her adjustment!

This sweet girl is looking for her fur-ever home! She is a 5-year-old beagle, does well with kids, is fine with other dogs and cats but she is an attention hog and would love being an only dog too. Let me know if you are interested and I can connect you to her foster mom for more details.
