And how did this vet diagnose the "spine problem?" If by simply looking, or not, just surmising, then a second opinion, and maybe a third, is certainly called for. I have noticed over the years that many vets have to offer a definitive diagnosis even if they have no idea what is going on. I am definite believer in chiropractic having seen a good number of animals exhibit dramatic improvement after just one treatment. Marv "On Columbus Day my GPS insists I'm in India."
