K-Laser Therapy

As we recently inquired this equipment at Animal Medical Clinic of Goose Creek, I am eager to learn and see what laser therapy can do for our patients.
My own personal experience began on just day after we got this unit. My 6 year old cat Crickett (other wise known as "troublemaker") came home with swelling to the left side of his jaw. After radiographs and an exam, we found no cause for this inflammation.  Therefore I presented Crickett for laser therapy to the affected area. As I witnessed the treatment, I was in awe over the amount of relaxation and comfort immediately presented by Crickett.  He took it like a champ! 
  I left cricket overnight to basically keep him out of trouble for 24 hours (this was very rough for him).  Upon arriving at the clinic the next morning, I observed his swelling and irritation as being around 95% decreased, keep in mind no antiinflammatory medications were given to him.  We preformed another therapy session and again the same response presented by cricket.  I must say I was thinking “it's amazing how  this works on pets”. Well,  I’m here to say it truly does and I’m the first one to say “it works”. 
Currently Crickett is back home with his siblings and back to being in trouble once again, I’m sure more laser therapy will be in his future.
Ask your pet's vet if they are a canidate for Laser therapy!
