You might remember seeing Larry Boyer and Louie earn the Water Dog title in 2019. Louie is now 8 year old. He’s in good shape except for a disc disease in his neck & spondylitis in his back. Louies is getting relief from an unexpected source - gold.
On August 18, 2022, he took a trip to Marion, Indiana to see Dr Terri Durkes who, in 4 hours, put hundreds of gold beads in Louie’s neck and back. This procedure is like permanent acupuncture. Louie won’t need pain killers which would lose affect eventually and it will keep him moving pain free. Even though he looks sad with his neck rapped ( for 3 wks) he‘ll be a happier guy in the long run.
Linda Hiestand, Louie's mother, belives in this procedure. She has had it done on two other dogs , the first in 2006.
