Understanding Traumatic Injuries in Canines

The path to recovery can be difficult for dogs that suffer life-threatening accidents, including being struck by a car. Deep tissue bruises, painful muscles, internal swelling, and in extreme situations, fractures or organ damage, are typical injuries. Traditional veterinary treatment usually consists of painkillers, rest, and, in severe cases, surgery. Even while these methods are important, they might not always provide complete relief or effectively aid the body's inherent healing process.

Modern methods, such as bioelectric therapy, can promote quicker recovery, minimize inflammation, and improve cellular healing. Equiscope, a cutting-edge microcurrent technology, has demonstrated potential in promoting healing by addressing inflammation and pain at the cellular level.
Meet Potato: A Basset Hound’s Journey to Healing

After being tragically driven over by a truck, Potato, a 9-month-old Basset Hound, suffered severe pain along her psoas and ventral abdomen. She was obviously suffering, but an ultrasound revealed no internal damage or urinary tract injury.

Equiscope protocols was implemented to speed up her healing, with a focus on minimizing pain and swelling.
1. Initial Visit – Addressing the Pain

• Areas of Focus:
  
  
  
  • Left Side: LI10, SP4

Looking Ahead: A Promising Recovery

Potato's development shows how modern microcurrent rehabilitation, like the Equiscope, may help dogs recuperating from severe injuries control their pain and regain their mobility. Even while traditional veterinary care is still essential, incorporating bioelectric methods could help animals who are in pain.

Imagine being a working dog, driven by purpose but hindered by a debilitating leg injury. Every movement is challenging as you try compensating for the pain and limitations. This is the reality for many working dogs – like Peso, the Queensland Heeler patient today. So – let’s look at how a unique microcurrent therapy can help alleviate pain and leg inflammation in working dogs.

The Story of Peso, the Queensland Heeler

Peso experienced a leg injury a month before the technician met her.

Peso was initially unable to put any pressure on the affected leg. To compensate for the injury, she spent three weeks protecting herself from further pain by finding ways to keep weight off her injured limb – her right hind leg.

Worse, the inflammation and tenderness in her hip joint added another layer of discomfort, making it difficult for her to lie on her right hip. As a working dog, this injury forced her to be out of commission.

Working dogs are not happy when not working, so that was another reason to find a solution as soon as possible. Equiscope microcurrent therapy therefore seemed a good way forward. Let's see why.

Targeting Inflammation at Its Source with Equiscope

This microcurrent therapy is a promising option for multiple conditions, including injury-related inflammation.

By directly targeting the inflammation at source, the Electro-Equiscope can speed up the recovery process. Equiscope therapy measures impedance in the energy flow in damaged cells and delivers a balancing current of energy to help the cells resume normal healthy activity.

This intelligent delivery of microcurrents accelerates recovery and can ensure a complete and sustainable resolution of the condition.

Here’s how this advanced microcurrent therapy worked for Peso:

• Protocol 1 involved using plates at all frequencies in Mode 1 and Mode 2, followed by a probe. Before Protocol 2, Peso exhibited signs of more weight-bearing on her right leg.


• Protocol 2 used plates with a large single roller at all frequencies, and each frequency was applied for two minutes.


• During Protocol 3, the technician's focus was on resolving lameness in Peso's right hind leg. They used all frequencies in Mode 1 and Mode 2. Each point was stimulated for 12 seconds on each frequency.

A Working Dog's Journey to Recovery

After the first session, Peso exhibited improved stability and mobility without compensating for the painful leg inflammation.

Right after the second session, she stood up effortlessly – with only a slight hesitation when she quickly changed direction. It wasn’t clear whether this hesitancy was due to pain or to a habit gained when she did still have pain!

However, before the third protocol, Peso ran with full energy, showing an incredible response to the protocols. After three sessions, she experienced complete pain relief and could return to work, doing what she loved.

There's nothing worse than watching an animal you love in pain. Well, something is worse: not being able to do anything about their pain. Unfortunately, that's what happened with Smudge the Cat when traditional medicine failed.

Smudge's people noticed that she was consistently pawing at her face for no apparent reason. This wasn't the typical kind of pawing that she did when she was giving herself a facial. It was something different. This was a signifier of discomfort or even pain. So Smudge's humans did what most pet owners do: took Smudge to the vet.

Smudge's Path to Equiscope Therapy

MAY:

Smudge's vet took a good look at Smudge, put her on antibiotics (just in case), and performed a routine dental prophylaxis (cleaning and polishing). The reason for the dental cleaning was to check for any rotting teeth or infections in her mouth that could be causing the discomfort. What did they find? Nothing. All teeth were just fine.

JUNE:

The antibiotics did nothing to relieve Smudge's distress, so her humans took her back to the vet. There she underwent the ordeal of dental x-rays. The x-rays indicated she had some bony lyses (holes in the bone) and suspected osteomyelitis. What are these?

Bone lysis is the painful disintegration of bone that usually indicates an aggressive form of cancer. The option for protocol is usually amputation followed by chemotherapy.

Osteomyelitis is inflammation of the bone or bones, which commonly occurs due to bacterial infections. It requires long-term protocol with antibiotics, removal of dead material, and possibly bone-grafting or limb amputation.

Either way, the outcome was not looking good. The vet put her on a Clindamycin antibiotic and told them to come back next month.

JULY:

A month later, and Smudge was still pawing at her face. She, and her people, became increasingly uncomfortable. She could not tolerate Clindamycin suspension. Her exams and repeated x-rays gave no more information, and the vet put her on steroids and began gabapentin to relieve pain. She even had multiple teeth roots extracted with no change.

Something Different Needed

At this point, Smudge and her people had had enough. Smudge lost weight, didn't want to eat, didn't want to hang out. She was dangerously close to not wanting to live. Her humans knew they needed to try something different because traditional medicine wasn't cutting it.

They found a local Electro-Equiscope technician and made an appointment.

The technician performed non-invasive Equiscope therapy on Smudge. She improved. After two more sessions

• she had no issues, she


• fully regained her appetite and weight, and


• resumed her social activities.

To this day, Smudge has not had another problem with her mouth.

When Traditional Veterinary Medicine Isn't Enough

Most people jump to traditional medicine for answers when something’s wrong with their beloved pet. This is a good first move because traditional medicine has its place – but it isn't always enough. Traditional medicine doesn't heal at the cellular level or address issues with the autonomic nervous system.

Smudge experienced such a transformation with Equiscope Therapy because she needed cellular healing, and her autonomic nervous system needed some re-regulating.

In recent articles, we’ve been sharing how Equiscope therapy can be effective in humans and horses to relieve pain, speed up injury recovery, support overall wellness, and minimize sleep disorders. Our topic in this article may surprise you – we’re going to share the story of how Equiscope therapy helped heal an injured Red-Tailed hawk named Xerxes!

The Story of Xerxes the Hawk

Earlier this year, Xerxes found himself in a bad situation. He’d damaged his talon, and just like a human injury that’s left untended, it had healed poorly. He was left with nerve damage that caused his talons to stay retracted. This left him unable to perch and tipping over because he couldn’t grip onto anything with his “hands.”

So Xerxes had to scavenge through the trash for food and was always on the defensive. Luckily, someone found him in the trash and took him to a rescue group.

This group hand-fed him to help him get his strength back and gain weight. However, Xerxes was doubly lucky because the rescuer had access to an Electro-Equiscope practitioner who was willing to work with a bird.

After three Equiscope sessions, Xerxes opened his talon and took hold of the technician’s hand twice!

With every session, Xerxes grew stronger and more confident – so much so that it became difficult for the technician to hold him still during the Equiscope Sessions.

So far, he’s able to extend his talon by 70%, which has enabled him to perch in his cage and consume his food on his own. His Equiscope practitioner continues to work with him, adjusting therapy techniques and focus based on how his improvement continues.

UPDATE: Xerxes has now been released back into the wild!

If you’d love to train to do this kind of work, do have a read here. But let’s now look at why this therapy can work on a hawk.

Why Can Equiscope Work on a Hawk?

Electro-Equiscope works at the cellular level. The basis of all living things is cells. That includes humans, wild animals, and even your horses and house pets! It’s obvious when you think about it:

• Cells make up tissues.


• Tissues make up organs.


• Organs make up systems.


• And systems make up living creatures.

The crucial thing is this. Electrical currents run through these cells, so the body of a living creature basically contains an electrical circuit. If you’ve ever come across a dead battery or had a finicky light switch, then you’ve run up against what happens when any part of an electrical circuit is damaged or drained. No – or poor – flow.

Equiscope therapy sends tiny currents through the body to open up cellular communication, increasing the production of the body’s natural energy. Trillionth of an ampere or pico-current can also “recharge” damaged cells to help heal the body at its most basic level.

How Does Equiscope Therapy Work Differently?

However, the secret to the Electro-Equiscope technology’s success is that it uses fixed artificial intelligence to search and scan the body to decide which areas are damaged and operating at reduced capacity. The Equiscope continually calculates the specific needs of the tissue and painlessly delivers the most appropriate electrical current gently into the cells. This restores their healthy function in a simple and non-invasive way.

The Electro-Equiscope is the most advanced microcurrent therapy. And Intellbio is the exclusive distributor, with providers all over the country.

Has your dog received a diagnosis of canine arthritis, canine skeletal disorder, or some other musculoskeletal disorders? Are you’re finding the solutions aren’t working? Then you’re in the right place. Equiscope Therapy may be just what you’re looking for.

What is the best plan to help dogs with arthritis and musculoskeletal disorder?

Most traditional practitioners consider these conditions as progressive, not curable. Canine arthritis management plans often include:

• Managing the dog’s weight.


• Adapting their home environment.


• Modifying exercise routines.


• Using supplements.


• Undergoing therapies like water therapy or acupuncture.

At their worst, these conditions often involve medications, invasive surgeries, and euthanasia.

No one wants to go through this with their best friend. But we know that your bond with your dog is a unique one and that you’ll do whatever you can to relieve their pain and give them their best life.

So what if we told you there’s another, non-invasive drug-free option that’s been around for decades?

We’re talking about the Electro-Equiscope. However, before we get into the science of Equiscope technology, let’s talk about Zooey.

Zooey’s Story

Zooey is a five-year-old Cavalier King Charles who was the runt of her litter. Like most Cavaliers, she was small and feisty. What made her different was that at birth she had a malformed skull. This was causing spinal fluid to collect above her top vertebra.

Unfortunately, when she was barely two years old, she and her humans were out walking after a rainstorm. She slipped on the wet grass and hit her head on the side of a berm. Twenty-four hours later, she was rushed to the ER, paralyzed from the neck down.

As a result, her options were: Put her down (recommended by the Vet) or attempt a ground-breaking surgery and hope for the best. Her humans couldn’t stand the thought of euthanizing Zooey, so they chose the surgery.

But the recovery was significantly more complex than they expected. It included eight weeks of round-the-clock care and six months of physical therapy, water therapy, and acupuncture.

Over time, she started wagging her tail, started crawling, and walked with a swagger. Desperate to get the last 20% of Zooey’s mobility back, her humans found an Equiscope practitioner.

After five sessions, she now walks and runs with increasing confidence. She’s started acting like a dog again, taking pleasure in the smells and distractions of life. This little 12-pound fluffball feels so much better that she’s started challenging her older (and bigger) sister for the alpha slot at home!

So Just What is Equiscope Therapy?

Electro-Equiscope® technology is an advanced electro-therapy technology. It has consistently proven its effectiveness for pain relief and reducing inflammation in any area of the body.

In canine arthritis management, the Electro-Equiscope scans your dog’s nerve and connective tissues. It's looking for cells that are damaged or have “drained batteries.” The device receives information from the dog’s tissue using its sophisticated feedback modulator. Four computers process that information. They then deliver a precise output of absorbable electrical current. These low levels of currents travel to the damaged or dead cells and correct abnormal electrical patterns. This restores cellular homeostasis or balance, and allows cells to start the healing process. Healing can occur quickly and even permanently.

The Story of Dakota’s Canine Arthritis

Dakota is a 105-pound, 12-year-old Akita. When he and his mate, Roku, aren’t protecting the yard from coyotes, they’re snuggled up with their human family. During a routine visit, x-rays confirmed arthritis in his right hind end. Unfortunately, when he came out of anesthesia, he also experienced limited mobility on both hind limbs.

The Vet gave him a dose of steroids with little to no improvement. Luckily, his human family knew what to do. They quickly began Electro-Equiscope protocols with an Equiscope practitioner. After the first protocol, Dakota was able to walk unassisted. After a series of 12 Equiscope sessions over five weeks, he was able to run up and downstairs again and is back to protecting his yard with Roku.
