There are list of potential causes that start stomach bloating. Beaner was already on a great diet and home management.
Since Beaner can't say how it all started, one can only guess what started her illness. Was it muscle pain that caused her to stop moving about causing gas to collect in the stomach or was it gas that made her painful and huddle in the corner?
The hands on therapy doesn't fall into a standard veterinary treatment. This type of hands on therapy can be referred to as adjunct therapy. The back stretches and motioning are described in Chinese "chiropractic" or Tui-na and more modern day Spinal Manipulation Therapy. Massaging gas out of the stomach doesn't fall into any clear therapy description other than common sense.
Modern veterinary medicine needs to incorporate hands on therapies with pharmaceutical treatments to serve the patient.
Wheat Grass can be enjoyed by humans, dogs and cats!
During the winter months eating some greens is healthy. Both dogs and cats eat some greens naturally. It has a pleasant texture, taste, and odor along with vitamins and minerals.
Getting started with organic wheat grass seeds can be found at Mountain Rose Herbs
The therapeutic massager should be introduced gradually. Many dogs and even cats enjoy their treatments. The nice feature of the "Ribbit" is that the front feet of the massager avoids the back bone while contacting the muscles on each side of the spine.
From an "Eastern" way of thinking it moves Qi and resolves stagnation. From a Western way of thinking, vibration stimulates the myelinated nerves that travel into the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, then up the dorsal column to the caudal medulla where they decussate to the medial lemniscus before traveling to the cortex of the brain. An increase in cortical activity is thought to reduce the incoming pain sensation of nociceptors.
Simply stated, massage can feel good and be therapeutic. We have the Ribbit in stock for about $14.
