Veterinary Acupuncture for Hind leg Paralysis - A Squirrel's Tale : AcuMed Veterinary Specialty

Cases come to us in all sizes, perhaps this was the smallest one yet.


Spikee was rescued & brought in to the clinic following an onset of Paralysis of hind limbs,following a trauma . He could neither support his hindlimbs, nor move his tail. Radiological investigations showed up a pathology of the lumbar vertebrae. The referral vet stabilized Spikee from his Spinal shock and was started up on medical therapy.
Saw Spikee after 4 days of initiating the medical therapy. He regained his movement of his tail put still remained  paralyzed by his hind legs.
Spikee then received 2 Acupuncture sessions spaced over 2 weeks and he regained all his neurological deficits and was able to walk again..

Here is a video showing his progress.
