A successful treatment of a complicated case of wobbler syndrome using homeopathy, electroacupuncture and laser therapy is presented. Cervical unstability was associated to a bilateral hip displasia and partial muscular atrophy of the hind limbs. This latter problem was treated a year earlier with bilateral removal of the femural heads followed by physiotherapy which enabled the dog to perform basic manouvers. Acupuncture treatments were given daily during the first ten days and every other day during two further months. Afterwards, laser treatments were given daily on the acupuncture points for l0 days and a further month of treatment with simultaneous electroacupuncture and laser therapy were given every other day. Homeopathy was given during the whole treatment period. Although full recovery was not achieved, the patient showed outstanding movement control. Independent strolling, self-feeding and full sphincter control made his life possible within the family surroundings.REFERENCES
