Copper ruptured a disk in his upper spine between his shoulder blades, jumping off a bed. This caused terrible nerve damage; which affected both of his back legs – which were totally paralysed as was also his tail.
Copper was worked on by a dog masseur, dog chiropractor, and dog acupuncturist for between 4 to 6 weeks.
At this time the owner was told by the Vet that there was nothing more they could do for him and that he would never recover the use of his back legs. It was awful to see Copper with his bright little spirit dragging around his back legs, and having to have help to the toilet.
The owner was devastated and did not want to give up on his beloved pet.
I started visiting Copper on a weekly basis for home Reiki visits and 2 long distance treatments a week. I was using the new technique i had developed for helping to heal bone fractures – hoping it would do the same for nerve damage.
Slowly bit by bit Copper started to recover – it took 6 months but he now has 80% use back in both of his back legs. It is so gratifying to see him running around now and wagging his tail. He is truly one of my best works.
