“Because Every Dog Deserves to Smile Again” – Brady Overcomes Facial Nerve Paralysis
When Brady lost movement in his face, even something as simple as blinking became impossible. Facial paralysis in dogs can lead to bigger issues, like chronic eye ulcers, so restoring function as soon as possible is key.
We used electroacupuncture to stimulate his nerves and laser therapy to support regeneration. Bit by bit, the movement returned, and before long, he was blinking on his own again. If your dog ever shows signs of facial paralysis like drooping on one side, trouble blinking, or difficulty eating there are options to help. The sooner therapy starts, the better the chance for recovery. Today, Brady is back to his adventures, and we’re so happy to have been part of his journey.

Millie Overcomes Facial Nerve Paralysis
- When Millie walked through our doors, her eyes still showed fight even though her body was failing. Her ocular and facial muscles had atrophied and she couldn’t blink her eye. This is very dangerous as it could lead to eye ulcers and more! Her family refused to accept that nothing could be done.
We immediately began an aggressive approach combining acupuncture, laser therapy, pneumopuncture, and custom herbal remedies.
Her nerves slowly started to regenerate — and then, her muscles returned!! Now she can blink normally — and her sweet personality shines through, and her family has their girl back.
Behind every recovery is a pet who never gave up and a family who believed in finding another way
