Sassy Sue



Sassy Sue is a 12-year-old spayed female Pug. She is a regular patient at First Regional Animal Hospital.

On a recent day, the owner brought her in because she was reluctant to walk and would stand in a “hunched backed” manner. Through her careful work up, it was determined that Sassy Sue suffered from a pinched nerve in her back. She also had years worth of arthritis in her knees and hips which compounded her mobility issues. 


After several weeks of kennel confinement (conventional treatment), Laser Therapy was implemented for her back and arthritic joints. After the first couple of treatments, her owner noticed improvement. After six weeks of treatment her owner reports, “she is running around like a puppy again”.
