Routine removal of the front third phalanges was performed under telazol, isoflurane, and a dose of butorphenol. As usual on coming out of anesthesia the cat started swinging the front feet around. Upon application of the Infrared instrument for five minutes on the setting of seven the cat relaxed the feet and after another five minutes it went over to the food and started eating. It did seem fine the next day but we gave it one more application. The animal recovered better than most cats after onychectomy.

In spite of the pain meds etc. the dog appeared very uncomfortable with a heavy respiration coming out of anesthesia. Upon use of the unit on both sides of the abdomen the animal relaxed, was not painful and would walk without much straining. We have used it twice daily and feel it really improved the dog’s comfort level. In short I feel this equipment is a beneficial adjunct to our treatment of animals in our facility. B.J.O’Connor DVM O’CONNER PET HOSPITAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 11, 2006 On June 14th my Pyr Shep Remy hurt his shoulder. He had a deep soft tissue tear. I kept him crated for a month but he didn’t heal. The beginning of August I took him to see a physical therapist. She gave me exercises to do and talked about doing light therapy to his shoulder. I researched and sent a email and was quickly contacted. I received my light shortly after that. I believe that with the use of the light and exercises Remy healed much quicker. I used the light every night. It was easy to use, the added benefit to the light is that it has two lights. Making it less time consuming when you have more then one area to do. My husband has started to use the light on his old dog, Tyler is almost thirteen. He is very stiff in all four legs. He is having difficulty walking. He started to use the light on Tyler all over his body every night. One night he missed a treatment. The next day we noticed that Tyler was not able to get around as well as when he was getting the light therapy. He feels much better the next day after using the light.-Cheryl Moldenhauer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 30, 2006 Our dog Zeke, a sixteen year old Shih Tzu, had arthritis so bad that he was having difficulty walking. It was very sad to watch him fall over as he tried to lift his leg to urinate. We truly thought that we would not have our boy for much longer. Then we decided to give the lights a try. We would do anything to help Zeke walk again and perform daily functions. After using the lights twice a day for five weeks, once in the morning and once in the evening, Zeke was not only able to walk, but he could once again run like the wind. We highly recommend infrared therapy to anyone who has an animal that is having a hard time walking. The lights gave us our boy back. Thank you. -Brenda H. -Susan S.

Sheba has advanced hip joint arthritis and she is grossly overweight. She underwent long term NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) therapy with a slight improvement. She could stand for the time necessary to urinate if somebody could lift her and put her in the position. In an attempt to relieve her further from pain and recuperate muscle tonicity, a series of acupuncture sessions was performed by a certified Veterinary Acupuncturist. While there was a slight increase in the muscle tone, the mobility situation did not change compared with the anti-inflammatory drug treatment. I used light every other third day for 4 weeks in an attempt to revitalized the tissues. The treatment was done for 15 minutes at the # 3 setting. Of importance: several treatment were administered by the owner who could hence decide the best time for him increasing the compliance. Today, Sheba does not run the marathon but she is able to get up and walk outside for her needs. She is more independent which makes her happier and makes it easier for her master to take care of her. I am planning to use the light extensively since in all the pathology a better circulation and oxygenation is of paramount importance.

Gulick DVM March 16, 2007 Eight and half year old female dog with bilateral elbow degenerate joint disease, aka osteoarthritis, with pain and decreased range of motion. Using the unit twice a day for 15 minutes has decreased pain such that physical therapy (range of motion) exercise allowed for improved range of motion moderately. Previous attempts had gained very little. This combined with the direct efforts of pain reduction has improved mobility and activity level. Middle ages male dog with an acute injury to the musclotendonons tissue of the right forearm (antsbeachium). This caused a lot of pain and decreased functions. Using the IR2 unit 2-3 times per day for 10-15 minutes (time constraint on owner) improved healing time. This was proven by the fact that the owner on seeing initial improvement stopped using the unit and the dog worsened. Upon re-instituting therapy and continuing until the animal was 100%, the owner was very happy. There have been no relapses since. *Donald W. Gulick DVM* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turtles Veterinarian Turtle Case Treated with Infrared Light Therapy May 15, 2007 This turtle had been hit by a car or boat (unsure which), and had been being treated with topicals and was getting close to release. It was not eating in captivity so to speed up the release, I used the infrared unit on it and after two treatments on consecutive days, released it after the second treatment. The side by side before and after pictures with just one treatment was pretty amazing!! Pre-treatment After 1 Treatment After 2 Treatments! Hirschfeld Veterinary Consulting, Inc. Beth M.
