I don't know how similar it is, but my sister's dog got this diagnosis a couple of years ago. She says that acupuncture has completely changed his life. When it hit his spine, their vet told them that he may not have much longer, but in the month or two of acupuncture, she says he's no longer exhibiting pain at all. It might be worth looking into - seems like something that might be available there. It's called Eastern medicine, right?
