HUGE MALAMUTE NEEDS A HUGE ADJUSTMENT! 😱

STAR the Alaskan Malamute is here in my office for the first time and this big fluff ball made himself right at home! His owners noticed he had a slight limp and we immediately find the problem (under all that hair of course!)

The leading organization, in my opinion, that has Veterinarians and Chiropractors that become Animal Chiropractors is the Animal Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) They have a website with a "Find a Doctor" tab/database: www.animalchiropractic.org
This a good resource for all that are looking for a well trained doctor near them.

This was a very intelligent patient. He knew you were helping him, but he had to work through it in his mind.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Absolutely! I do think so. Thanks Fleet.

[@BuddhatheRockstar]

I always thought I had been around large dogs until I cared for a Malamute named Bear. There is large and there is enormous. Seeing Star brought back good memories.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

That‘s awesome, I wish I could have met him, they are tremendous dogs. Thanks for sharing Valley Girl.

[@veroniqueboulvard6315]

Star is quite amusing with this back and forthcoming. He is like "Oh man... Where did I come from? Can just somebody show me where did I come from....? That was intense...🔧 but I feel better.... Where's that guy? Oh there he is. No I don't want. Where's the exit.... Who said that? O.k you're qute... ❤️ Let's try again....... 🔧⚙️..😳 ⁉️ F@*k 🤯what was that...? I 'm out.... Nooooonono😱"

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Haha! so funny Veronique…so funny. Thank you.

[@katherinelinkous6249]

Star is aptly named! What a gorgeous boy. A huge fluff ball of love. So glad you were able to work on him. It looked like working on him was almost as strenuous on you as working on a horse. At least you didn't need your bale.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thanks Katherine for watching the video and sharing your comment with me and the community, so grateful.

[@catherinebrady2640]

Star is beyond gorgeous. It was a pleasure to watch you interact with this magnificent canine.

[@supersunshine22]

Wow that is the biggest Malmute I've ever seen! Gentle giant. I think it surprises them when they get adjusted. His head seems to come up better after. I wouldn't fear the reaction. Malmutes are known for being vocal. Another good adjustment. Interesting & I like seeing you enjoy the interaction as well as the animals. Although you can't teach passion for a service or interest I hope you can pass down your work/experience through internship or something. It's a really great service to animals who depend on our care. Nice work 👍

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Yes they can get loud. He needed the adjustments and I hope she will bring Star back. Thanks for sharing Supersunshine22.

You've a very gentle spirit that can also receive respect from your patient. That's beautiful! However, someone who lives in a home like that makes methinks I could never afford you.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

wow that‘s really awesome! so grateful for the subscription, welcome in the nicest community on YT, Star felt relieved afterwards, thank you so much for sharing Blue.

[@dsnitely]

hopefully your bad knee is ok Dr. Doug. I know them different body positions can be somewhat problematic for you when working on larger animals or when having to sit on the floor like in this video. But like you've said before, you just go with the flow and do what's needed. 👏 And you seemed to be doing very well in this video, so that certainly helps. Hehe it was definitely amusing watching this dog roam around and be so playful. Best wishes to him and his family :) And happy holidays!

[@user-ox7jf4oc8r]

Star is an absolutely gorgeous Malamute! Looking at his coat, it is obvious that he is routinely groomed. I am happy that Dr. Willen was able to identify his sore spots and problem areas and treat them. I think the areas that were causing Star pain or discomfort were fixed and that he is leaving his appointments in much better condition than when he arrived. Good luck Star and be well. ❤❤

[@jennygoldsmith261]

Thanks for sharing! Star, you can do this, don't be afraid. Chiropractic care is necessary to maintain optimal health and mobility. Great job! 👍 💕

[@t.y.5565]

It is! I was recently told that if I have to keep going to a chiro it might not be doing me good and I should try physical therapy instead. I told that person I see chiro therapy as maintenance like going to the dentist etc.
