McTimoney ChiropracterToday Brice has been a stooge dog for 2 first yr students at the McTimoney College in Abingdon...... he was very patient having two history taking sessions, two gait assessments and two full exams - in addition to the examiner doing a baseline examination of his spine!
An interesting two hours, slightly spooky as the McTimoney Practioner Freddy and Brice saw a few years back was an examiner.
Upshot - not unsurprising, is Brice has a couple of areas that are misaligned and he could do with treatment, he isn't having it yet though as he is booked to the college in Aug for a final year exam that includes a treatment and obviously it makes sense to not have him partway through a treatment session at that time. When he has been seen in August I will ring his chiropracter and book him in to sort him out.
Now for the difficult bit! Freddy was also booked in to the August session ..... do I substitute Chase? The sessions are 45 mins and he will have to be a good boy as importantly someones final career may depend on him behaving well. With the different gait and a possibly hyper dog what to do????
I am erring on booking him to see Paula the chiropracter anyway for an assessment and then see what she feels after she has met him   .
Not sure if any/many of you use canine chiropracters but certainly with Freddy and prior to that Cressy I found it really helped those times a dog was 'flat' or intermittently lame. Some insurance policies cover a course of treatment anyway although I self funded the guys as it was not for a medical diagnosis - just to keep them fit.

You sound to me like somebody who has too much money to spend.

No Des, she just has more than us because she isn't daft enough to have another human to spend it on

Spending nowt though Des as volunteers get it free - and I combine the day out with a meet up with friends who live locally . The dogs I did use it on both had spinal problems and it was a fair bit cheaper than conventional treatments!
