On the morning of December 30, Michael started behaving really strangely, walking sort of funny and I could tell immediately something was not right! He was having some kind of muscle spasm in his shoulders area and was obviously in pain....I called Hawthorne Vet right away and they had time to see us in a couple of hours, so until then, we went back home, and I massaged his shoulders gently and helped him relax.
By the time we got to the Hawthorne Vet a couple hours later, he was much more himself again with the spasms now at bay. Dr. Cornelia Wagner checked him out and did some acupuncture for him. He does pretty well with this and she turns down the lights with some lovely meditative music and he & I proceeded to relax on my coat on the floor....
We went home with some remedies and told no jumping!
The problem seems to occur after he eats in the morning...then the spasms in his shoulder got wild and I used the heating pad to give him to relief along with gentle massage of his neck and shoulder area.
