Joe and I found Natasha as a 5-week-old Lab/Dalmatian mix puppy who was abandoned in a house with other littermates who were not as fortunate to make it out. It became obvious as she neared her first birthday that she had severe hip dysplasia and would need surgery. We had a TPO procedure performed, which solved her problem but also has set her up for chronic pains and occasional lameness. At the time, the only option we had was to offer her medications to help until we met Dr. Long. Keeping her adjusted has nearly eliminated all lameness and pain and she is able to live a normal, healthy life without drugs. She goes hiking with us and swims as long as we will let her and her hip and pains never stop her from having fun thanks to chiropractic care.
