Damage nerve in paw
If any one is still concerned about damaged nerve in the paw, what I would recommend trying is laser treatment. My dog got hit 3 weeks ago and he has been going through the treatment for 2 weeks now, and he has been using his paw 95% of the time. It may take longer for some dogs, all injuries aren't the same.

I have a dog whose leg was broken before he was 3 mos. old. There was also nerve and tissue damage to his shoulder. I was lucky. I had a vet who beleved in alternative treatments with homepathic remedies. All were 30 C in strength. Hypericum (treats nerve damage) Symphatum (heals broken bones) and Vitamin B complex along with a good puppy vitamin. Also daily massage of the shoulder, down the leg, and even into the paw. As it was healing you could actually feel the tendons tighten under the leg and paw trying to curl the toes under. GENTLE stretching of the toes, also. You also need to massage the other front leg as it is used to compensate and muscles tend to be overworked. He turned 1 yr in October, and is able to use the leg. He does still have a limp, but when he is running with another dog or interested in something he sees there is no indication that he has a bad leg (until after). That is when you can use Arnica, or Rhus Tox, or Ruta Gravalens (again 30 C) Please contact me if you need further info. I am not computer savy, and only get to the library infrequently, but PLEASE, try these before amputation! Thank You, SilverBearHollo |

Electro-magnetic therapy
Has anyone researched or tried an electro-magnetic machine or magnets to help with nerve damage?

I think the magnetic stuff is subtle. I have a magnetic thingee and my girl with a neuro problem felt better after a treatment. I did by her a magnetic mattress pad, but since she was also getting other therapies, I really can't say what the effect was. She did really well on alpha lipoic acid though.
Acupuncture and laser work should help too. |
