Here is a video of the specialist treating and examining Paquito. The auction held by Scorpiogirl1960s Boutique brought in $600! SO AMAZING! It will go towards Paquitos therapy and a better harness for short walks will also be purchased. The harness is pretty cheap, so almost all of the money will pay for therapy. Its enough for four therapy appointments! In this video, specialist Tove Due performs some initial acupuncture and does an examination to evaluate his progress and condition. At his first treatment a few months ago, he had a lot of locking in his back muscles and vertebrae, and its all gone. The muscles in his legs are a lot stronger, and if you watch the video there is a point where he stands on his own with just some balance support for 37 seconds! So the training and physical therapy at home has helped a lot =D He does have some locking of the elbows in his front legs, due to him using his front legs to get around. He drags his hind quarters using his front legs and it creates some tension which has to be dealt with. I will update with what kind of therapy they have to do at home until the next appointment in a couple of months later =) ~Maria
