It has been a couple of weeks that I have adopted Shakira, a long-haired Chihuahua and we still have not learned how to get along with each other.  Shakira was showing signs of aggression and would not warm up to me.  Despite the trainings she had before I brought her home, she kept continuing to have accidents in the house.  Animal Cranial ElectroTherapy Stimulation

The anxiety this little dog is causing has become too unbearable to tolerate.  A message forum is something I am not familiar with but I said OK.  We both sat down and Shyla’s fingers moved.  In a few minutes, we were reading some people’s comments who happened to live in the area.  Several people discussed the great outcomes they received when they brought their pets to Midwest Microcurrent. 

Next morning came, I called and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ava Frick at Midwest Microcurrent.  When Shakira and I visited the clinic, I found Dr.Frick to be very warm and felt like she had found her calling in working with pets.  Animal Pain Relief

As we talked about Shakira’s behavior, Dr. Frick asked me if I ever thought about Shakira’s anxiety spells.  I felt guilty of being worried of my own anxiety and never thought that pets would feel anxiety the same way. 

I told Dr. Frick and she agreed that I do not want to give my dog any canine anti-depressants.  She firmly believes on the philosophy of using holistic alternatives in treating pet anxiety or animal depression.  Her course of treatment for Shakira was the Alpha-Stim Control System over any type of medication.  Within a couple of hours of that first treatment, my dog had already started to calm down. 

The drive to Dr. Frick’s clinic takes more than an hour each way, and since Shakira would be needing more treatment, I decided that it would be worth the investment to purchase a home version of the Alpha-Stim.  Shakira’s improvement continues and I found it easy to use.  Her modified bahavior is now better and we are now best of friends.  Animal Chiropractic

Pets that have been rescued often suffer from animal anxiety and depression. This is not something to be surprised about because animals are usually left alone by their owners. Moreover, a number of animals are left on their own, hungry and sometimes, stoned or beaten up by people who have no love for animals. If you decide to own a rescued pet, you have to be more patient because these animals usually takes more time to adjust to their new owners and environment. Even though I have prepared myself for the difficulties in owning a rescued dog, my experience with Mimi the golden retriever was totally unexpected. Animal Chiropractic

Golden retrievers by nature are kind and gentle animals. However, when I got Mimi, she was really quite anxious and was always acting up. She did not respond positively to acts of kindness and often barked or retreated whenever I get too close to her. Teaching her new tricks was tough to do. I was about to give up and planned to return her to the shelter when I stumbled upon Alpha-Stim 100 technology in a popular pet blog. It says that the techniques are geared for animals suffering from anxiety and depression. Animal Pain Relief

I wanted to bring Mimi to the Alpha-Stim 100 clinic but I know that doing so would be a challenge; I asked my boyfriend to accompany me in taking her to the facility. Using the device, animal doctors are able to soothe pets with animal cranial electrotherapy stimulation. After the initial check up, Mimi was given a 20-minute Alpha-Stim 100 session and surprisingly, she appeared more relaxed after. When I tried to touch her ears, she didn’t bark nor react violently, I felt her heart was stable and there was no more wailing and barking like she used to.

The Alpha-Stim 100 offered by Midwest Microcurrent is really very helpful. After two weeks of therapy at the pet clinic, I have observed that Mimi is sleeping soundly and her levels of anxiety was greatly reduced. Likewise, she stopped retreating whenever I approach her. As a matter of fact, Mimi allows me to groom and pet her. Plus, each time I came home from work, she wags her tail to greet me. I highly recommend Alpha-Stim 100 for those who have pets afflicted with animal anxiety and depression. Horse Depression

The story was really sad. The horse sure was depressed but the owner couldn’t figure it out. They came in with a large, beautiful horse which had more years behind it than it had ahead of it. They loved the horse however and didn’t want to see it spend its final years suffering with equine depression. They lived on a nice big farm with lots of space for the horses to run. It really is the idyllic setting for the life of a horse. This made the whole depression scenario all the more perplexing to comprehend. The horse was suffering from equine depression even though it was living on a proverbial retirement home for horses? That didn’t make any sense. Horse Depression

I asked the owners some questions and probed them a little. I found out they had an old silo on their land. The kids liked riding the horses in a meadow and the path led past the old silo. The reason for the equine depression became more clear when I asked what was in the silo. For whatever reason, when animals died on the farm they used the silo as storage for the dead animals. The owners explained that as the kids forced the big horse up to and past the silo the horse would hesitate and then bolt past the silo and into the meadow. The kids would do this repeatedly as they loved the speed that the horse would reach. Pet Anxiety

They had no idea that the horse was doing this because it was very frightened. They really had no idea the horse was suffering abuse. They were horrified when this was revealed to them as the reason for the equine depression. They apologized profusely and offered to accomodate any lifestyle correction we would offer. We spent a great deal of time correcting the animal depression with the therapies that we offer here after making a few suggestions on lifestyle choices for the horse. We were very pleased with the outcome and so were they. Horse Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation

My book club is on Thrusday nights. It seems that my friend’s problems were a lot more than I expected. Due to the older horse’s condition, the younger one was afflicted with equine depression. Nancy’s problems were too much to handle. What do you do when your equine can’t walk? I have met many different kinds of people and I have made some special friends. Nancy, a very interesting lady, is my good friend. Nancy has been having some tough time with her horses lately. Her first horse has gotten old and her health is failing. It was taking her longer and longer to get up after she would lie down. She lost all interest in everything. Even her appetite was affected; she stopped eating. Nancy was considering euthanasia but couldn’t bring herself to do it. Horse Depression

She missed many social activities while trying to help her horses. The vet told her that her horses wouldn’t live long. He suggested Midwest Microcurrent. He told her that even though it was about three hours away it might be the only place that can help her. I rang Nancy that evening and she asked me to check out Midwest Microcurrent online and let her know my feedback. The web site looked informative to me and so I told Nancy that she had nothing to lose if she try.

The Alpha-Stim machine has a lot of positives in the website. It can be used to both people and animals. Just place the wires on the problem areas and that’s it. The machine produces micro electrical currents at different wavelengths on areas that will be most beneficial to the body. Some wires are placed on the ears by using a clip. Other areas used adhesive pads with electrodes and these are placed on aread where it’s needed most. Another alternative is to utilize the machine using probes and hold them against the body when the other solutions don’t work. The electrical impulses distribute the wavelengths, frequencies and impulses on parts needed to restore the body’s balance. The horses won’t feel anything but some relaxation, so they won’t be scared. This machine helps, horse depression, old age, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, arthritis, surgical incisions, open wounds, pain and other problems. Horse Pain Relief

Immediately the following day, Nancy and her husband loaded the horses in the trailer and went off. When they came back that night, they came back with the machine and the condition of the two horses improved already. At home, they use the cranial electrotherapy on the horses and so far, the horses’ condition improved. Both horses are better than before even though it hasn’t been that long since they used the machine. The mother horse is back to her old self.Horse Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation

No matter how patient you are with your pet animals, there are times when the things they do can really make you cry and feel helpless as they display symptoms of animal depression or anxiety. I was overcome with depression last year when my beautiful Chihuahua died. What my friends did to alleviate the sadness that I was feeling was buy me a new Chihuahua. Seeing her really did relieve some of the pain I felt from Fritzy’s passing. At least, I had a new companion that I can care for again. Since I had Fritzy for a long time, I never really knew how to deal with a new dog. I did try my best to make Dolly feel like one of the family but she seemed impossible. The happiness I felt when I saw Dolly was quickly overcome with stress. No matter how hard I tried, it seemed that my new Chihuahua kept on displaying aggression, lethargic episodes, and skittish behavior. After I thought she was trained to go outside she kept coming back inside to relieve herself.Animal Chiropractic

It is a good thing that I stumbled upon Midwest Microcurrent in a forum that talks about animal depression. With the help of Dr. Ava Frick, I realized that my Dolly is displaying underlying problems, anxiety and depression. Although I know that lack of physical activity is a sign of depression or pain because I have seen this symptom in my previous dog Fritzy, I never thought that aggression, display of fear, defecating and urinating in the places where she eats and sleeps, and even unexplained skin rashes are all symptoms of canine depression. Who knew that even a spoiled pet could feel lonely or get animal depression.

I like Dr. Ava Frick’s holistic alternatives to dealing with pet anxiety or animal depression. I was scared she would put Dolly on medication to keep her calm. Dr. Ava Frick suggested using her Alpha-Stim Stress Control System instead of medication for Dolly. I kid you not but n less than one hour Dolly was less aggressive. She seemed so happy and content.

I found out that animal depression is not curable in just one treatment. Since my work would not allow me to frequently bring Dolly to Dr. Ava Frick, I was really happy that I was able to bring home Midwest Microcurrent’s Alpha-Stim SCS. It is so easy to use and it felt great to be able to treat my Dolly for her depression. After a few weeks under the program, my Dolly showed a remarkable change. Her skin has cleared up and she love attention from anyone and other animals.Animal Pain Relief
