  • Dr. Doug Willen, The Animal Cracker, shares a 9 day journey that brings Neo, a 16 year old cat, from unable to walk to walking and more!!
    Neo, a 16 year old cat, injured himself, and was hunched up with crippling pain. He couldn't walk more than a couple of steps without falling down. Always "young" and agile even at 16 years old. He easily could jump on the kitchen counter every day. Melissa, the owner wasn't sure what happened, although she guesses that he may have hurt himself jumping off of the counter.
    Melissa (owner) , a patient of Dr. Willen, called him up and asked him to help. In this video, Dr. Doug Willen, NYC Chiropractor, documents 9 days of Neo's recovery. He performs two chiropractic adjustments in its entirety.
    Watch till the end to see if Neo can walk, and even jump within 9 days!
    Bonus, Neo's response to sound improves after the first treatment.

      No1 puss would have a little struggle, then generally give in. No2 has been taught not to bite or claw and would probably follow the 'sack of potatoes' 'I'm not helping' deal. Then scarper at the first opportunity. Mums cat would have required an short eye to eye, a low voice and reading of the riot act first. Any hesitation or show of weakness from the doc would result in claws / disney Taz!

      I remember taking a couple kittens from a feral cat and I wanted to keep them mostly contained in one room. Which inexperienced me thought wouldn't be too difficult. So I'm in the room playing with them, then I leave and close the door.
      Next thing I know, there's a kitten rubbing against my foot. Turns out, that little gap underneath doors is nothing for even an adult cat, let alone a kitten!
      Then I tried stuffing towels under the door. Those were easily pushed through and on an exploration trip the kittens went! Then I put a small tool box to barricade the exit. I'm watching a movie in the living room and I hear a cat start screaming! I went over and found the girl wedged in between the frame and the toolbox. Obviously, the toolbox went back into the garage because I realized it's too dangerous.
      Finally, I took the door completely off, cut a thin strip of wood, nailed it to the bottom of the door, put the door back, and that kept them in the room.
      Also, just to clarify, 90+% of my time was spent with the kittens. The only time I would really leave them alone was for short breaks from their constant meowing and climbing on me. Both things I loved but moderation is the secret to life.... 😜 I don't want anyone thinking I would lock them in a room and never be in there.
      The REAL fun part was when the food bowl was empty at night and they would get RIGHT next to my face and SCREAM until I woke up and refilled it. Because how dare I let the food bowl be empty!!!!
      Anyway, yes, absolute experts at escape!!!

      I started seeing a chiropractor after a car accident and she was great. She cured my fear of quacks by not being one! The whole office was great. I'm so grateful. I ended up working for the next one because my vision cleared immediately after the first adjustment. And lastly, I have had that happen with adjustments more often than not!

    Hey Doc, I had a cat that went out of a 9th floor apartment window chasing a pigeon. The only thing that saved his life was that he wouldn't retract his claws from the screen and that he then kind of glided onto a juniper bush. I went flying down the stairs with a blanket, and yelling at my husband to get the car. When I got to the ground floor and outside, I was able to wrap him up very tightly in the towel I had brought down. By then my husband had the car around and off to the vet we went. All he had wrong with him was a broken radius that required a cast, and I told the vet, hey, while you have him under.. NEUTER!! LOL No internal injuries at all. And I think it was because of the screen and where he landed. 3 days later a common brown bat got into our apartment. He cornered it in the bathroom and beat it with his cast. Needless to say, the bat didn't make it. I had to return to the vet and get a cast change because of this. The 2 cats I have now would be exactly like Neo. To a point, because 1 is the one who decided he wanted to try flying. I *socialized* them both when they were kittens and well into adulthood. LOL Have a great week and Stay Safe!! From a new friend?

    I am chuckling about Neos evasive tactics at the end. I do all the movements with my cat just so they are used to me handling every part of their body. That way it is easier for the vet and my cats for their appts. One of the main places cat carry tension is between their shoulder blades. The closer they are the more tension they have. When you massage the tension out it relaxes your cat a lot. I also do all these things with my dogs. My vet loves me for it. Love your videos!

      That is awesome. I didn't know that cats carry tension between their shoulder blades. I have been massaging my cat's neck and shoulders and he LOVES it. Now when he jumps into my lap, he will tilt his chin up and to one side, to expose his neck for massaging the first side. When he has had enough on one side, he tilt his chin to the other side. 😻

      I do range of motion exercises and massage for my dogs too! And like yours, my vet LOVES that I do it. Rarely have I ever had to bring my kids in for any type of injury because of these daily rituals.

    Some cats are just real mellow at the vet's. My avatar, Louie, is a 15 year old male and everyone who's worked with him (vets, groomers, sitters) has remarked about how cooperative he is.
    It's probably part of how lovable he is around people.
    But around other cats? Well, that's a different story altogether.

Cats have evolved to not show pain or weakness, so poor Neo must’ve been in terrible pain to show such disability. He’s a very trusting (and probably desperate) kitty, and it’s wonderful that he has this chance to feel better! ❤️

    I have never heard of chiropractic adjustments aiding in recovery of the senses but it makes sense, especially after hearing the way you explained it. It's all connected! Now I'm starting to wonder if my loss of taste and smell went away when I started doing hard labor a couple years back because now that I think about it the loss of the senses and my back pain started around the same time.
