Tammy Didn't Count Niko Out!

This is  a great story. Hind leg weakness is really tough to deal with at all levels. Tammy tells her story, and what I really appreciated, is that she understood the idea of "deficiency". In other words, once an external invasion, or internal excess or deficiency, takes it toll..she is right. Things are just not the same..BUT, that does not mean its not worth getting back 75%!!!

Our culture is so "magic bullet" oriented. People will throw the baby out with the bath water if they feel there is no cure...Well, Niko is a good example of why we keep trying to always find that key....



  Last October my Niko, part Bernese Mountain and Collie, fell in our back yard while playing and damaged 3 of his disc in his back.  When we brought him to the vet they told us he would never walk again.  All four of his legs stopped working and he wasn't able to pee on his own.  Because he was 12 years old he had a good long life the best thing to do for him and for us was to put him down.  The doctors said due to Niko's size he was going to be hard to move and care for.  But after looking into those beautiful brown eyes I saw that he had a fighting spirit and wasn't ready to go.  We took him home and I immediately started doing research.  Most of the places I contacted said there was no hope for him, but I wouldn't accept that.  Within 3 days of bringing him home from the vet we contacted www.PawHealers.com and Holly put together a herbal mixture to sprinkle in his food and pills for us.  We also started him on Aqua Therapy with Rema at www.k9rejuvenation.com which I believe was also an essential part of his recovery.  She really took the time to stretch out the muscles and keep them from freezing up permanently. We feed him only bland human food and a few sessions of acupuncture.  In about 2 weeks he starting moving his legs again and within 2-2 1/2 months he was walking and peeing on his own.  His legs weren't strong but we had witnessed a miracle.  Our dog whom we were told would never walk again was!  He has built his strength and now walks very well.  He will never be 100% but we are so glad we took the time to give him the love and help he needed.  For he has given us many years of love and protection, how could we not go the extra step?  Tammy Harris - Tacoma, WA

Doris D. and Her Half Wolf Bear


Dr. Pink and I received a call from Doris about 4 weeks ago. Doris is from Arkansas and she was calling the PawHealer team to see if we could help with her 12 year old Bear.

Bear is a Chow mixed with a Wolf, he weighs 80lbs and sadly, according to Doris, Bear was loosing all the use of his hind quarters.

Doris told us that Bear had been diagnosed with Arthritis of the hips and the right leg. However the symptoms that Doris was conveying to Dr. Pink Pinkerton (herbalist extraordinaries) and me (The PawHealer) sounded more along the line of some sort of paralysis. See Doris told us that Bear was actually dragging himself around and he was not able to lift up his hind quarters.

Here is Bears medical history;

Male Wolf/Chow 80lbs
Bad breath
Takes medicine for seizures because he had distemper as a puppy and almost died
No problems with bladder control, does have some bad teeth
Does not seem to run hot, he does bark a lot (he watches over Doris)

The team did not have much to go on as you can see, so we clung to the idea that Bear had some sort of internal deficient heat. We based this on the fact that he had bad breath (heat causes the breath to become sour) as well as bad teeth problems. The other clue of course was the weakness of the hind quarters.

Dr Pink and I did not see it as Bi Syndrome (Arthritis) because it sounded as if Bear was loosing sensation of his limbs, and the way the Doris described Bear's situation was that of being flaccid, as if he had lost control of his limbs, not as if he was any pain.

Based on the hind quarter weakness and based on the past medical history of Distemper, Dr. Pink Pinkerton and myself believed that Bear was suffering from Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency.

We prescribed to Bear a famous Kidney Yin tonic called Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan to clear deficiency heat (causing weakness of lower back and hind quarters) and we also included Si Miao San for the heat in Bear's stomach causing the bad breath, and we sent it out to Doris while keeping our toes and fingers crossed hoping that it worked for her wonderful and trusted friend Bear.


7 Days later;

We received a call from Doris....Bear had actually gotten worse and he couldn't get up at all. Doris was distraught and was looking into buying a cart for Bear. She just couldn't put Bear down because besides not being able to stand, Bear was doing fine. He was hungry, he was thirsty and continued to do his watch dog duties.

Dr. Pink and I instructed Doris to DOUBLE the dosage of herbs, and not give up. After we hung up, we felt terrible for Doris and Bear....we thought our herbs had failed to help Doris out.

7 Days later after the last phone call;

We were checking messages and we had a message from Doris. We dreaded what we maybe were going to hear, I thought Bear must be worse or dead...When we got Doris on the phone, we were shocked with what she told us.

Bear was actually walking....up to that point Doris was helping Bear walk with a sling. Because it was a beautiful and warm day, she left Bear out to enjoy the morning. When she came back to bring him in the house, incredibly Bear was walking around the parameter of her house and had actually climbed a small hill!

Doris was calling the PawHealer team to order more herbs for Bear because he was doing so much better!

How exciting and exhilarating for the PawHealer team.

This time around we filled decided that we wanted to tonify Kidney Essence with the very famous formula You Gui Wan. We also modified the formula with some herbs that will provide pain relief as well as to continue to nourish the Kidneys.

Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I think of Doris everyday. Bless her heart for helping her dog friend Bear through such a difficult time. Many people would of just given up hope...

We feel honored that Doris D trusted the PawHealing team to help her with the wonderful Bear.
