Hey, guys and gals, I sort of hate to come into a thread in the middle and without knowing what came before, but...

I took my black rescue bitch Sinead (the Dobergal of Santa Fe who arrived at my house with a broken leg) to a vet in San Diego (actually El Cajon) who was recommended highly by Vic Monteleon. Although he is primarily a horse vet, he spends one day a week doing acupuncture and gold bead treatments, mostly on Dobes.

Although he did NOT diagnose Wobblers, he did find a calcium build up in between two vertebrae high in the neck, which he treated with gold beads. In the days immediately prior to the gold bead treatment, Sinead was inappropriately yelping in great pain more than several times a day. After treatment (now a year ago) the yelps of pain immediately subsided to a point where she now has a minor episode of pain yelps every two weeks or so, sometimes not for a month or more. I
was initially sceptical, but am now a convert.

Vet's name is:
Dr. Kevin May
El Cajon Valley Veterinary Hospital
