Chiropractic

After reading posts here about hip problems, sprains, etc. I was wondering, has anybody had any chiropractic done with their ratties?  I had all my dogs worked on since the early 80's - long before it was viewed as acceptable. It literally saved 2 of my dogs from euthanasia, if I had followed the regular vet's advice. Thank goodness for the chiropractor! Phooey on the vet for not being open minded.

I am considering asking around to find somebody willing to work on a couple of my ratties who have respiratory problems, as I have had first hand experience what chiropractic can do to help correct such problems - at least in humans.

If I can find a chiropractor (vet chiro or other) and it helps, I'll let you guys know.

I've heard of using chiropractic on pets, but never seen it done.  We have a "holistic" vet near us, and she might do it.  You'll have to let us know how well it works.  I'd also be interested in seeing if it helps with hind end paralysis, as well...

I take my dog to the chiropractor regularly. I mentioned the rats to the chiropractor once but she didn't seem to keen on treating them.
