Porky the Wonder Dog

Porky is my nine year old Blue Heeler. He is my companion, loyal friend, and partner on my farm in Greenville, Illinois. He loves to ride with me on the tractors, trucks, four-wheelers, and combines while I work my farm.

This summer he started walking stiff-legged and finally had no feeling in his back legs. I took him to my vet. After tests she discovered that Porky had contracted Rocky Mountain Tick Disease. The vet started Porky on antibiotics and suggested that I see Suzan Franz at Indian Creek Therapy for some cold laser treatments.

Porky had not been able to walk for three weeks when we started the treatments at Indian Creek. His paralysis was so bad you could stick a pin in his foot and he wouldn't feel it. I thought there was no hope for Porky to ever walk again. Amazingly, after eight treatments, Porky started walking again and is now back on the farm. The receptionist at the vet's office calls Porky 'The Wonder Dog'.

Thank you Suzan Franz for helping my loving and happy friend walk again.
