Massive ARTHRITIC Rescue Horse "Duniki" Gets Pain Relief with Chiropractic!

[@vickifinch6721]

I am so glad that you don't ignore the less visually dramatic adjustment that are important to that beautiful guy. Thank you for standing so high on your bale to adjust such a tall horse, knowing that a wrong move on either of your parts could really hurt you. You are putting a lot on the line to volunteer, I hope you don't mind that I pray for your health and safety and hope you will continue helping with your special skills.

[@astrid6700]

❤ well said 🙏

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Awww, thank you for your kindness, Vicki. I’d be very grateful if you prayed for my safety and health. It means so much to me.

[@karenhouser4123]

What a calm beautiful huge horse, beautiful ! He took all the adjustments very well. His calmness during adjustments made this mane’s work so much easier.❤😊

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thanks for sharing Karen.

[@scout3444]

love him 🌼at the intro, Duniki's hard eye-roll blink after the lick-chew-shake looked like a huge reset

[@andreabiro2357]

Right? I noticed that too. ❤😊

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thanks scout for sharing! It was like a reset!

[@janadeubner9883]

Beautiful big gentle horse. Glad you could make him feel better!

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thank you so much Jana! Merry Christmas Jana and happy new year!

@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too Doc!

[@georgewhite1972]

10:33 - Doc literally makes Duniki's eye roll into the back of his head with that adjustment!!

[@RuthFerguson-tc8sb]

Yes 👀 saw that too.... Dr. Doug still "GOT IT" 🎉🎉🎉

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Hahaha!

[@jpsd2005]

So intelligent. He knew what you were doing was helping him so he was so calm through it all.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thank you for watching Jpsd!

[@CalvinTheBostonTerrierist]

Duniki was a great horse. Very calm and receptive. Big horse. Glad to hear he works well with the kids too. 👍🏽

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Yes, gentle giant are often very kind with kids! Thank you Jeff I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@cytobl98]

Duniki is like a statue. He's definitely getting fed properly.

[@hecate235]

Holy crap, that is a big horse! Glad he was so calm, and let you work on him. He could have stopped you at any time, and waited, watched, and listened to where you were and what you were doing. Well done, Dr Doug!!

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Yes, he really is big!

[@RedHeadAgent]

What a gentle horse!

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

👍🏼🙏🏻

[@JJJay-gz1wh]

Loved you explaining to the horse how "That will really help your neck."

[@cynvision]

It would be good to see Duniki again and see if he can move neck better. Wasn't it said once that a horse is calmer when freely able to move up, down and left right to see around them? I am thinking as stable horses with wall buckets they're not normally lowering to graze a whole lot so it's harder for them to nose the ground, but they should have that movement.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Haha! 🙏🏻😅

[@RatdogDRB]

Him's a GOOD boy, that Duniki. Love seeing you being able to give an ol' boy a helping hand with his health.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thanks Ratdog! that was a pleasure for me to work with Duniki.

[@steph585]

What a nice horse! I’m glad you could work on him.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Me too!

[@prophit407]

What a beautiful horse. He was big enough to not be scared by doc and actually enjoy the adjustment.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

I hope he enjoyed it!

[@DariaAmato-wz2xg]

Its amazing how still he stood there. Beautiful horse

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Yes! So calm, so huge, so beautiful!😊

[@beretta1111]

It always warms my heart when you help these beautiful animals.❤🙏❤️

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Awww! And you warm my heart with your comments Beretta!

[@lauraharrisonmusic]

A pleasure as always to watch you work! :) So kind of you to volunteer and treat these magnificent creatures! In other news, because of you, I booked my first chiropractor appointment with Dr. Tubio! :) Please take care and all the best to you.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Aww wow! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼Dr. Tubio is a great chiropractor.

[@beckyv3369]

Beautiful horse with soft, beautiful eyes. So huge, but very calm. It would be interesting to see some of his jumping competetions if available.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

That would be cool!

[@judyferketich6822]

Thanks for all the work you do on the ones who cannot speak for us to understand, Godspeed for you to do more and letting us see the results- Happy Holidays everyone

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thank you so much Judy for the nice words.

[@SusieDaw-ix6pv]

What a sweet heart!!

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Soooo Sweet.

[@MotorbreathChannel]

I love a nice thorough full body check-up. Dr. Doug knows best, but I am often like "but-but... wait... you did not check the thing... you could go for five-ten-sixty minutes more!" haha. Duniki did a little shake after the second shoulder adjustment. He really is Clifford the big red dog, isn't he? Needless to say, my regards to the rescuers, the filming/production team and of course Duniki asked me to say 'thank you Dr. Doug!'

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thanks to you Dmitry for the great support the whole year! Amazing!

[@2nearmenot2hearme]

Such a beautiful creature.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

👍🏼🙏🏻😊

[@wendyeskelin8765]

This horse is so pretty. His fur just glistens. I like how he got an obvious release with each adjustment. Even some eye googles. I am not sure if that is a relaxation response too, but I know when I get an adjustment it sometimes feels like my eyes refocus better. It was cute when the dogs came down to check things out and check on the horse. I bet the barn is all aflutter when Dr. Doug comes.. They're probably all talking about how great they feel after he leaves.

[@missyb2366]

Duniki seems so sweet and gentle. I’m so happy you were able to adjust him. I love the way you approach and treat all animals. Thank you Dr. Willen!

[@joanneganon7157]

Thank you so much Susan, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@sylviahoffman9440]

Duniki seemed a but confused when you started working on him, but with each significant adjustment, you could see him get more relaxed. (The right cervical/shoulder shake, chew, and eye rolling into the back of his head really must have been a super sore spot). I had to laugh on the tail pull when you slid towards him. 😂😂 He must really be strong since he didn't take the step forward and you lost your footing. He is a gentle, sweet, giant - he will be perfect in his new career. I help out a charity that uses equine vaulting exercises to help disabled children. They have horses with a similar temper as Duniki who are wonderful with the kids. ❤

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Awesome.

[@samuelsasunov8724]

Dr Willen, Duniki is beautiful ❤ and it was a lot of hard work on him. Your interaction and imitation are always on point 👌🏻. You did an awesome 👏🏻 job on him and he showed us his reactions. Thank you 🙏🏻 for helping him and have a nice 👍🏻 week doc.

[@Kasey113]

Interesting to see the difference in demeanor and general attitude of a horse who was not abused before coming to the rescue. I'm guessing that's where that complete calmness comes from, as well as his acceptance of this complete stranger doing weird things to him.... Duniki has no idea what's going on here, at least not initially, but it doesn't occur to him to be nervous. Why would he be? Humans don't cause pain in Duniki's world. It's nice to see.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thanks for your insight

[@farmers-daughter2000]

Do you have rules and regulations. I imagine you would especially with horses that are esp. expensive. Sorry, I am a medical record professional. Just curious. I can tell how your work is important to these lucky animals. I wish that the regulatory bodies would recognize the benefits of manipulation.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

HINT: QUIT pushing and shoving that horse! QUIT giving it sweet feed! just plain oats will do. and give me daily big doses of boron mineral, or plain borax in its mash, that will quell the arthritis promptly.
