- 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.

![*HORSE IN PAIN* 😱 CAN'T LOWER HEAD TO EAT! 🐴 [FULL EMERGENCY CHIROPRACTIC SESSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OICKtHZVh2w/mqdefault.jpg)
Working on cats must be extra hard because, as we all know, they are liquid.
And boy do they bite
Should your cat ever enter a semi-solid or solid state, please seek chiropractic help immediately. xD
🤣
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!!!
This made me chuckle 😂
"Takes an adjustment like no problem. That's a great cat right there."
"Not afraid at all."
He knew he was there for help.
Beautiful reference. XD highly appreciated.
Smart beautiful cat. I hope he is still OK? ❤️
That is the most patient cat I have ever seen!!!Sweet boy😇
hahaha, so true, Helen! Thank you!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen rassess s
My cat would have put up with exactly 2 seconds
Mine is that chill to. Even at the vet with injections🤪
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 love how you clarify Melissa is human as if you would email the cat.
LOL thanks for the laugh !
Lol
Some people need that. Lol
I would 🤷♀️
That cat was so 'ok..just do it'...he knew you were helping him and had so much trust.
Some reason makes me think it’s because he’s a rescued cat which means he probably has come to grips with the fact that they are not trying to hurt you, only trying to fix you and most animals do realise that after being rescued and rehabilitated of course
@@bomboclaat1509 Yes, I agree with that.
or just drugged :^)
I can't believe how sweet and patient is this adorable and old gentleman of a cat.
Neo was raised in a good home and it shows
I have no idea why I clicked on this, but I’m fascinated. I’ve never heard of a veterinary chiropractor.
Because luckily these hacks are rare. Most people who want to help animals bother to do it responsibly, with evidence based medicine, instead of by voodoo like this guy.
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!
@@jasonpatterson8091 did you watch the video or just glance and assume he was performing "voodoo" on a cat? Did you miss the science he explained behind the connection of nerves and the spinal system and all the explanations of what he was doing as he did it and what it would relieve?
@@spinfoilhat3087 I watched a man say many things, many of which are old hat items for chiropractors that again, are not based on actual evidence. Stringing together anatomical terms into a sentence has nothing to do with the truth of the sentence. This guy isn't as violent as real scumbags like Joe Cipriano; instead, looking at his videos, he's doing the usual massage/pop a joint or two, and make people feel like they have been taken care of.
@@jasonpatterson8091 You a no masker too or something? Allergic to thinking? I haven't heard that heavy skepticism since the 90's, you aren't just behind the times buddy, I feel like I just read someone having a stroke somewhere in that mess of a reply.
Neo the whole time looks so confused 😂 what a sweetheart.
Confused or curious? Maybe a little of both.
In human years, Neo would be about 81. Wish I could jump like that in my 70s. Instead I suffer from Hereafter Disease: a condition where I walk into a room and say “what the hell did I come in here after?”😙
Glad you were able to help this kitty, Doc!!!
Stay strong! :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOL! I can so relate! Also lose my glasses on top of my head... Ugh.
Best kit kat here for certain. Peace.
Thank you for sharing this kind of "long" video 🙏😁🤩🧡
🤣🤣🤣🤣
cats are majestic. the way the cat holds position and his own alignment during this treatment was impressive and shows how much pain the cat was in to allow it. cats are so smart they know when you wanna help them
My chiropractor worked on my kitten that wasn't pooping properly and absolutely changed that thing's life. Absolutely incredible what you guys can do for these little animals may you be blessed abundant
As a single father of five cats that is the most patient care I’ve ever seen
Wow, Neo was so laid back through the whole thing. Glad he's feeling better, again :)
Hi Iron, thanks for checking out Neo, he was totally chill!
I love how you also quickly responded to his cry that you hit the most tender spot. Such a good kitty and Dr. @Dr. Doug Willen
That cat trusts his owner so much, every time he starts getting uncomfortable he looks to her and as long as she is still calm he stays still.
👍🏼😊🙏🏻
You can see the look of shock and relief in Neo's eyes when the Dr made the first few adjustments. You can tell he feels so much better!
Like most humans lol 😆
That was amazing! Over 49 years we have had many cats live to their late teens. Our Vet told us to hold them under their armpits and swing them forward after they stretched out. They seem to always enjoy this. Presently the oldest is eighteen and he is running and jumping going strong! Thank you for this wonderful information! 👍🐱💜
Being a longer video doesn't matter if the content is enthralling. 30 mins felt like 10. Love and light.
Thanks Danny! I appreciate your support. I didn't have my editor for this one, so I did it myself.
yes, i was engaged during every minute of this video, loved it!! also, wanted to respond to something you said, Dr. i noticed that my hearing improved too after i'd been to the chiropractor a couple times. (wasn't going for that reason at all). so yeah, pretty neat!!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen I liked it long, too.
The before and after is amazing. And you could tell he wanted the help!
Yup!😎👍🏼
To see Neo hunched and hardly able to walk, he was absolutely in terrible pain to see him jump and laying in goofy positions was totally awesome 👏
He does look younger than 16, I agree🤗and adorable !
That kitty cat is being very patient. Bless his heart he must have been in pain falling out a window like that. You are the first animal chiropractor I’ve ever heard of.
Very common amongst the equine community. They are usually known as the backman, but are chiropractors
I checked, Neo is 80 years old in human years. He is such a cute boy, I just love him.
Wow, thank you for the math! I was never great at math. I'm better at chiropractic, hahaha!
Don't you have to multiply their age by 7? That would make Neo 112.
My cats are 35 and 91. It's pretty difficult to get the older one to play xD
My oldest cat got to 133.
@@HexenkoeniginVonAngmar Thats dogs where you multiply by 7. Cats have a different scale
@@HexenkoeniginVonAngmar Year calculations changes by the years of the cat lives. There is a online chart out there. 7 years was the old way of calculate cat years.
yes, what an awesome kitty!! also, i love the owner for taking such good care of him, and thinking to take him to a chiro! very cool.
Your smile when Neo jumped was priceless.
Animals are amazing. Neo knew you were trying to help him. Thank you for helping those without a voice Dr. Doug.❤️
The patience of that cat is amazing! I would not have believed it if he hadn't recorded. And so quiet! I am not even sure most PEOPLE would have been that quiet and still. LOL
Neo is 80yrs old in human yrs! A distinguished gentleman!
I admire your dedication to helping animals . Neo may have deteriorated if he had never had the opportunity to have you work on him .Awesome work !
Maybe! Yes! Thanks Susan.
What a difference! It was horrible seeing him in pain at the start. Neo is a gorgeous boy.💖😁
This is so impressive; he has gone from an old cat to a young cat.
I wish I lived in New York.
I would definitely go to Dr Doug!!!
Me, too!!!
Don’t ever live in New York. Visit the doctor but don’t live there.
Such a good boy sitting patiently..hope he feels better.
awww, thanks Dida!
I'm not a big cat fan but he is super chilled and looks great for 16 years old.
I remember Neo because of his calm demeanor. No way my cats would have even put up with you for 10 seconds doc. Lol
hahaha, thanks Christina! I would love to meet your cats!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen well I've got 3 and they all have very different personalities. I don't think that even my most laid back cat would stay on the table that long for you. lol
What an angel and distinguished gentleman. Even with the painful area he let out such a calm, polite objection and just stayed still.
Thanks for sharing !!
This woman has very well behaved cat's..Neo is a beautiful senior..
100% agree. I didnt expect Neo to hold still!
Neo has trained his staff (human) very well.
She must feed him properly with real carnivore food. Melissa could tell us how.
Two many cats get obese or Diabetes because industrial food have too much carb for these pretty carnivores.
Neo was a GREAT patient. As a cat lover I derived a lot of good feelings and understanding of Dr. Doug’s technique better than any other video I’ve seen of his chiropractic work on animals. Neo was so cooperative. I don’t know if my cat (RIP) would have allowed so much touching and manipulating. Good work a Doc.
What a great job! That was amazing,so happy he isn't in pain anymore and that you didn't get a scratch.😂 I'm sure your mouse will be in the mail any day now.
Hahaha, I hope so too! Thanks Dellzy!
🤣🤣laughed hard at this
Maybe Neo will send the dead mouse by email.
@@heenanyou an emoji.
Love the transparency, honesty and humility with this doctor.
ABSOLUTELY 📍Spot on📍
Am a huge admirer of this rare, Genuine human who goes by the name of Dr Doug Willen.
If you haven't already, do watch his incredible healing on Nugget, the 5 week abused lil pup, now growing up into a healthy doggo.
May every Blessing rain down upon this amazing Doc and on you too
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!
Thanks Pamela, that is a great tip! I will keep it foremost in my mind!
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. 😻
Pamela, I literally thought I was the only one who did this 😂
I do it to my rodents and any animal I meet.
We bond while I massage 🥰
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.
Such great ideas!
I’m shocked that you just started adjusting animals a few years ago…I’m seeing this video for the first time in 2023 - been following you this past year….the work you do is incredible!
Me too. My dad was an osteopath and a lot of md’s didn’t like him because he saved a lot of people from having dangerous surgeries. I’m old now but I remember those days.
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? Jenn in Ontario, Canada.
Wow, that is some story! Thanks for sharing Jenn! I guess your cat has 9 lives! Your friend, Dr. Doug!! Brooklyn!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen Prince certainly did for sure!! LOL
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen There's no reliable formula like there is for dogs. The scientists estimate that the first 2 yrs of a cat's life are roughly equal to the first 25 of a humans. After this, each additional year is another 4 yrs. So Neo is a very old man. Can you say, YODA? I knew you could!!! 💖 💖 💖
@@jenniferlehman2464
Just picturing the cat beating a bat with his casts. I'm laughing so hard.😂😂😂😂
@@tessw9744 Well, the other cat wasn't much help!! He was hiding under the bed!! So I knew who my "hunter" in the family was!!! LOL And I must say Prince was good. He cornered the bat in the bathroom, so I didn't have much carpet to clean after. Just a HUGE mess that grossed out my husband in the bathroom!!! LOL Have a great and Safe Weekend!! 💖 💖 P. S. Only 1 cast!! Left front leg!!
What an awesome, amazingly calm patient!
Cool cat
I’m so happy that Neo seems to be enjoying his life again. His visits to your office definitely made a big difference to his quality of life Dr. Willen. Thank you’
The ear to ear smile when Neo jumped was everything!!! I love it 😻 Also loving humom’s Stonewall shirt, sharing their pride 🎉
What a chilled boy. He knew what felt better rather than worse.
I handled my three Abyssinians from kittenhood in every way. At the vet, they would stand by themselves on the examination table, and let the vet give them a shot without anyone holding them. They were incredibly trusting because I never gave them reasons to distrust. Also very sociable. So cats can be just like Neo if they are treated right and trust the humans around them. So glad you were able to help Neo. You’re what I call a real humanitarian. And Melissa, what a great job you did with him.
Aww I remember Neo!! I watched again because your work on him was amazing and he improved so much with your help Doc! I think Neo was so patient because he knew he needed help and he knew you were there to give it. Animals can sense that kind of stuff. Great job Doc!
Wow, thanks Megan. I was trying to bring the last of my animal videos over the new channel. I think Neo was the last one.
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen I wonder if the fact that Millisa was also your patient, and Neo would have recognised your smell gave him the confidence to put himself in your hands?
Neo video was 2 years ago I just saw it on RUclips 11/22/22 and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is still living and chasing mice and lizards thanks to you,,, I hope you being on social media attracts more chiropractic in animals ! Thank you for your superb work you are loved and appreciated by many including me and I have no doubt I’ll meet you in heaven one day 💕
“Hi, my name is Neo. I like exploring, jumping, chasing mice and chiropractic adjustments.” Hahaha!
Never seen such a patient cat 🐈! Long live Neo!❤ Good job, Doc!
I found this series of treatments with stages of improvement very interesting. The before and after views were quite profound. Great job.
Thanks Catherine! Glad you could see this video!!!
Can’t believe that cat let you handle him with so much detail.
I love the joy on your face when Neo lands THE JUMP! Just found you, finding this so extremely interesting! Thanks for what you do and keep up the good work!
What a good cat! It’s almost as if he knows he’s there to be helped, his face is very relaxed. Amazing.
What a lovely, patient kitty!! I hope he got back to his normal active self. 💜
Yes, thanks!
Neo sees you a second time and was like , ‘yay!’ This human made me feels so good. He was clearly even more relaxed the second visit. Not that he wasn’t super cooperative the first one, he really is remarkable.
He definitely was a remarkable cat! Thanks Lisa.
I don't use a chiropractor myself, but I loved watching you work on that sweet boy. 16 years old? More like 3 yo. Gorgeous.
He is absolutely adorable. Who could ask for a better patient?🐱
I was mesmerized the whole time. Neo is so handsome and wonderful to let you treat him. He clearly has had a loving and safe home. Thanks for explaining everything.
You’re welcome elise
This little man is just precious! Does he know he’s a cat? We have had many cats over the years and I have been made bloody so many times, just by taking them to the vet. I’ve had cat scratch fever twice. And they were very sweet little ones too. Neo is unique and gorgeous. Thanks for getting his kinks out.
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.
Thank you for working on Neo and giving him his spring back. You did a good job!
Neo is such a good lil patient and you could tell he knew Dr. Willen was helping him.
"Neo! Hey!"
"...Mrow?"
Lol that responding to sound video was so cute!
😊 yes, that was lovely - Owner, "Nèo" Cat, "Yes Mum?" Such a chilled little fella.
From what I see from your videos he has certainly improved. At 29:08 he can jump from the floor to the counter and he is 16 years old. From where I sit, after your adjustments, Neo is looooooooking good. Great results...you get another Gold Star.
Thanks Josette, I was very excited to help Neo!
He was so beautifully behaved for you both. What a darling boy.
Keep the videos coming. I love them. Your obvious love of animals is evident in every video. Great service for our beloved, furry friends. Thank you.
Thank you, I will!
Such a trusting, overly-willing cat!! Confident but comfortable. Amazing! Great student for Dr. to get some time with for learning/demo. Obviously he’s been so well cared for, healthy-looking and not obese.
All this background info you offer about the practice and the depth that you walk viewers through your checkups is really great to listen to!
Dr. Doug- you are one of my favorite humans and healers. Your sensitivity and respect for your patients is moving and it’s a joy to watch you in your compassionate artistry. Much love!
Awww thank you so much Jennifer for sending your compassion and love, so grateful for your support.
Dr. Doug
Yes, I admit it. I am a Dr. Willen fan, big time! You are such a blessing to both people and animals. A true baruch to all.
Thanks GJ! You are always so kind and supportive!
Same here, GJ.
Greetings and all the Best.
From South Asia.
I like it better when I thought his name was Wiffen.
This has got to be the most calmest cat I've ever seen. He shld star in movies since he allows ppl to just set him up in a pose n will just chill. Never seen anything like this!
Also love love LOVE these longer vids, keep up the good work Dr.
Neo is more chill than my two cats at a vet visit! Must be you have the "touch". Neo clearly felt much better after his treatments. Great job!
That’s great you have 2 cats! Thanks for sharing Jana.
Great job ❤ !!! Great for Neo to meet you, released him from pain and gave him his jump back! I am so happy for him. ( have 3 cats)
Well done, Dr Doug. I'm glad Neo is feeling better. ☺
Me too! thanks Nancy!
All my respect to that cat. He sensed "good intentions" and submitted to your will for him.
He is such a sweet cat. He is a very old man and your adjustments Dr. Willen's really helped him. Another Great Job done. Thank You!
Thank you for watching!
Such a dramatic change in Neo! That is So awesome! I'm so glad that he accepted treatment and reacted so well. Thank you, Dr. for treating beloved pets!
HI Doc, found your channel by accident and can't stop binge watching your videos, I've got degenerative disc disease and on heavy morphine use, so I can feel these animals pain. New subscriber from UK x🙏🐾🐈
Thank you Rica, Welcome to the channel. I really appreciate the support. I'm sorry you have DDD. That sucks. I have a bit in my neck too.
Sweet Neo. Thanks for helping him, Dr. Willen.
This cat is so chill about his adjustment!! He knows he is being helped. I can tell, the good doc ain’t bleeding. 😉☮️
Having been owned by many cats over the years, I’m amazed that Neo would hold so still for this treatment! 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! ❤️
Such a cutie! Way less wriggly than a certain Nugget 😆 I've adjusted cats' tails, and it can help other parts of their bodies. Also useful for my snek, who is almost 23 years old!
Yes, Neo holds still! Thanks BC!
Bless your heart sweetie ♥️ You can see in your face the joy you feel by helping animals feel better.
Awww thank Kyle☺️🙏🏻
That cat knows you're fixing him. Good boy!
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.
How wonderfully cooperative Neo is! So glad he found relief!
That is the best cat. What a sweetheart.
Once Neo realized what the Doctor was doing he actually looked like he understood the concept. He gets touched by his new friend and he feels better , he can jump and he can hear! Neo seems to understand!
Love how he comes when she calls his name and in the bathroom. 😊
So many people think cats don't recognize their names. I have 16 and they all know their names .
This kitty seems so relaxed as if somehow he knew they were helping him. 🙂❤💯
I squirmed more at the chiropractor than Neo did.
What a cool cat!
Thank you for helping animals! I lost my boy about 6 months ago after having him 18 years it still hurts me everyday.
Awww I‘m so sorry and understand your pain.
29:06 trepidation - 29:08 joy and vindication...:)...That smile was so happy! It's nice to see someone that cares that much.
That's the most well behaved cat I've ever seen. No hissing or scratching. Our Nejma already hisses when you point at her feet. Scratches behind the ears are ok, all else is off limits. (she was even growling in her sleep when the vet sedated her to treat her)
God bless you! I wish there were more Doctors like you to help others. This has been a joy to watch him going from lame to healed in a relatively short time. I pray Neo is happier now. Melissa takes good care of Neo. Love to all ❤
Awww thanks for the nice words and blessing Brenda.
Thank you for making these videos, I’ve never seen an animal being worked on before so I’m really enjoying watching you work and their reaction. It’s obvious you love animals! Thanks again👍
You are so welcome! Thanks Maura!
That is such a smart cat. All his cues, say he knows you are helping him
And your approach is perfect for the way cats interact.
Thanks Pam, I appreciate it
Neo is like Keanu Reeves, he stays young for ever
You definitely made that cats life so much better! I cannot believe how young he actually looked after this video. Kudos!
I really enjoyed seeing this cat get treatment and getting well again 💚
Nice, healthy Neo!🙌🏻♥️Blessings on you Dr Doug! I have a 16yr old handsome tabby Henry, with occasional back issues. He lets me “work”on him☺️ I wish we had a Chiropractor around here.😢I miss my old one in No. Va. You are a gift!
