The last veterinary exam determined that Jasmine's joints were quite happy now, and improving. Her muscles, though, particularly iliopsoa and hip muscles, were quite angry.
On Saturday was Jasmine's appointment with her chiropractor/physical therapist.
Boy, did she ever find a whole lot of angry muscles! Once the body starts compensating for one thing, a whole hell can break lose, and it did. Jasmine's session lasted almost a whole hour! That seems to have done the trick, though, Jasmine's body looks much happier.
It again makes me think where would Jasmine be without the chiropractic care. Would those muscles settle down on their own eventually? Probably. How much time and pain meds would that take, though, I don't want to know.
It would be like digging your way out of jail with a spoon, when you could just get a key instead.
I am so glad that Jasmine has such an amazing team taking care of her.
I would also like to thank Vet-Stem, who were there for us all the way, particularly during that dreadful weekend. Those folks really care about each and every one of their patients.
Things are looking good now, and hopefully will just keep on improving. The chiropractor too was pleased with the joints, and particularly the progress the left elbow has made.
One other thing I figured out on Saturday; Jasmine's main vet and her chiropractor really like each other, and I realized why. The are so much alike, they really care from the bottom of their hearts. We are very thankful that we have found them.
So here is to all the great veterinarians out there, you make the world a better place.
