By December, Paisley had regained mobility and began hopping again, showcasing the power of integrative therapies for chronic conditions like arthritis.
Case Study: Chronic Ear Infection Healed with Laser
Ear infections are common in dogs. Diagnosis involves ear cytology and, if bacteria are found, an aerobic culture. Treatment includes cleaning with a ceruminolytic and ozone saline, followed by laser therapy. Red light stimulates healing, while blue light provides antimicrobial effects. Many clients prefer ozone and laser therapy over antibiotics. Most infections, including resistant strains like pseudomonas and E. coli, resolve within 5–7 days, confirmed by clinical signs and repeat cytology

Four years later, she faced re-paralysis from another disc issue. With a second round of integrative therapy, including MRM laser, Kim regained mobility in two weeks. Her recovery showcases the power of integrative treatments in managing spinal injuries, providing lasting benefits, and restoring her quality of life.

Case Study: Oreo Acute Renal Failure
Oreo presented for acute vomiting and anorexia. His pet parent was concerned as he had eaten a little piece of a plastic plant that led to an intestinal obstruction. Following a full workup it was confirmed he did not have a foreign body issue but he was in acute renal failure. Therapies included IV fluids, rectal ozone, HBOT and Assisted Lymphatic Therapy. He received laser therapy twice a day on his kidneys and after 24 hours his stats were already improving. The live blood analysis on presentation showed severe rouleaux. After 24 hours of therapy, all the rouleaux was resolved. In 72 hours, Oreo’s labs returned to normal and his appetite returned. He was converted to a raw diet and essential supplements (www.evolovestore.com) and has continued to thrive.
