KST A to Z
Dog with weakness, lethargy and ataxic gait

I was asked to see an 8-year-old female dog with a two-month history of unexplained weakness, lethargy and ataxic gait. Her vet could not find a cause. The owner was desperate to save her pet from euthanasia.
On first sight the dog could only stumble to the water bowl and back, struggling to hold up her head. I adjusted her with KST, finding cranial and cervical subluxations plus emotional priorities. On the second visit she could lift and hold her head up - I saw my first tail wag! A week later she was walking with her head up, and by the fourth visit she was running about, barking and bossing us around!
I still care for this dog, who loves the Arthrostim and sits stock still for adjustments. I never consider a case 'hopeless' anymore.
