摘要

一隻6歲四肢行動正常之混種公犬，因有機磷中毒就診。當中毒臨床症狀經治療改善後，患犬右後肢突然出現無力、懸吊之情形。放射線學下骨骼關節結構正常但下運動神經元刺激反應缺乏。經初期以類固醇、接續以神經營養藥物（fursultiamine, vitamin B2, B6, B12）治療三週後仍無法正行走且足背皮膚出現因擦傷引起之潰瘍灶。隨後採用電針針灸進行治療，後肢取穴左側之“環跳、陽陵與後三里”穴與右側之“環跳、陽陵、後三里與六風（趾間）”穴，歷經2個月共計實施電針治療30次，患犬已能利用患肢正常走路，後續恢復情形良好。

A 6-year-old mixed breed male dog showing paresis of right hind limb which might have been caused by a delayed response of organphosphorus intoxication was presented. Clinical examinations revealed negative response to postural reaction including hopping and proprioceptive positioning. Neither was the lower motor neuron reaction detected. Muscular atrophy and significant hypalgesia were noticed. Radiography showed intact osteo-joints-conformations. Treatments with a 3-week prednisolone course was ineffective and then withdrawn. Thereafter, electro-acupunctures on Huan-Tiao (GB-30), Yang-Ling (GB-34), Hou-San-Li, and Liu-Feng (Zhi-Jian) points were conducted for 30 laps, in varying day intervals for a period 2 months. This resulted in complete recovery of paresis with normal gaits achieved. It suggests that acupuncture can be an effective cure for canine paresis.
