Cold Laser Therapy on Dog

[@reneerogers7618]

Very helpful. Thank you for being so thorough. Also you were so patient with the doggie.

My dog had a tta surgery to fix a torn acl. I thought the cold laser treatment was just another gimmicky treatment to charge more money. Boy was I wrong. He had a good bit of swelling a few days after the surgery but after 2 treatments of this laser the swelling was absolutely gone. It was amazing. Still have 3 more treatments left and my dog is doing great.

Very informative video. Love this video! I am also a vet tech, red light therapist. I also have a star patient named Brady~ I can attest to the validity of all the professionals who love the red light therapy. I was blessed to be able to get a shepherd to walk *Colonel Hogan's Brady Shepherd. He is now running and walking faster then his owner, Colonel Hogan~ the dogs I work with, seem to be permanently healed. But, Brady, the special friend of mine, Colonel Hogan's dog, He now runs and walks and jumps on furniture! For four years. with several specialists seeing Brady and telling his owner that he would never have use of his back legs again, well he is now running and walking and jumping! I am so very pleased with the results on Brady after working on him so thoroughly for 52 days@several hours a day and total diligence on my part! What miracle devices to heal our dogs and get them to run after a very long 4 years for this poor handicapped dog. I also use a device called a Tesla Coil. These devices also help with human wrinkles and human saggy skin, baldness, and just feeling good in general!

For a dog with IVDD, can you a apply the device/light directly over the spinal area that's affected?

[@0131ariana]

@@Daniel_Jun_Kim yes directly is best! I try to make sure there are 6 5 minute treatments daily for each area

[@grim_spiritualist3912]

What is the difference between these machines & the ones you can purchase online that are around $100 to $300? is there a recommended brand or tool you can suggest for home use of a device like this?

[@YdnickniL]

Thanks for this video. How soon after should the pup show signs of improvement?

[@DrLera]

Depends on each individual patient and what is going on. Some patients will show improvement after one session and some will take 3 to 6 sessions to show improvement. It will be very important to find some way to measure how your dog is doing so that you can actually keep track of the improvement. Like if your dog is unable to even consider jumping on to furniture, or jump in or out of the car .

@@DrLera Thanks! My dog just had his 5th session. I see improvement in walking and seems to want to play more so I am hoping he has less pain. Still having issues with steps. He is a 7 yr old lab/golden. Arthritis in left hip and 4 compressed discs in lower spine

[@gamblingAMF]

@Cindy Link how is your dog doing now?

[@AA-ho5mg]

Would this help with luxation patella to avoid surgery?

[@kshizzle63]

How often can you go this with an at home version

[@frasierthebichon7422]

Hi ....I have a 7 year old bichon frise with a grade 3-4 luxated patella. My vet offers cold laser as a non surgical option. Is this good / has it worked for luxated patellas? Thank you....

[@DrLera]

Laser therapy would help with potential information that is being caused by the constant movement of the patellas but it would not fix the fact that the patellas would be moving back and forth. Still would require surgical correction is what I'm guessing the experts would say.

[@AA-ho5mg]

@@DrLera Though it wouldn't stop the patella from moving back and forth, would this help our dog to lower the leg that is bothering her from the luxated patella?

[@decodingeverything2124]

Hi...can this help the dog if he is unable to move rear legs because of distemper Like not a cure...but atleast some help

[@privateprivate5302]

My five yr old doggy has spinal issues and is now getting these treatments

[@dietman]

Update? Did it work?

[@wa1w511]

I have the eye protection for my dachshund, but I don't know how to put the doggles on the dog

[@redrumax]

if he does not look at the laser he does not need glasses

[@Lazereer]

To be honest i dont see how this is doing anything for the dog and doesn't look like its being done correctly. The hair on the dog is blocking most if not all of the light that would get absorbed/penetrate the skin. Especially on a black dog. Any visible or none visible wavelength that would be used for this would get absorbed by the black hair of the dog greatly before it even had a chance to penetrate. This is like putting on a sweeter before laser therapy on a human or going for a tan. it just wont work. You would have greater effect shaving the dog in the areas that need it. This is a waste of money and does nothingto help the dog the way you are doing it. Laser are not magic light sticks.

[@DrLera]

I'm glad that you brought up your concern in regards to the laser therapy and it's effectiveness especially with dogs that have black hair coats. I I remember this being brought up when I was speaking to the technical team for the company and they said because the laser emits light at three different wavelengths that is not necessarily the case with this particular technology. But they did say with the other technologies that they do have some of those limitations. Thanks for your concern and always welcome questions about different things as long as they are for the good of the patient and relevant.

You nailed it, the science is garbage.
