Common Questions about Acupuncture for Animals
Can acupuncture really help my animal?
Acupuncture can benefit a huge range of conditions in dogs, cats and
horses, especially common conditions such as arthritis, unexplained or
chronic lameness, respiratory problems (for example feline asthma) and
behavioral problems that may not be well treated by conventional
medicine. Acupuncture can really change animals' lives. These eBooks
list many specific conditions that acupuncture can treat in dogs, cats
or horses,
together with scientific evidence that it works.
Will acupuncture hurt my animal?
Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture is not painful! Many animals
even fall asleep during treatment. The ebooks explain why acupuncture
is not generally
painful and what to expect during a veterinary acupuncture
consultation.
Is animal acupuncture effective?
Many scientific studies have proved that acupuncture has
measureable,beneficial effects in humans, dogs, cats, horses and other
animals. Each ebook contains about scientific studies on acupuncture
and actual case studies of dogs, cats or horses from my specialized
veterinary acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practise.
What are the advantages of using acupuncture in addition
to conventional medicine?
Using acupuncture in addition to conventional medicine can allow
reduced drugs doseages and reduced drug side effects for your animal,
as well as a more rapid improvement and long-lasting effect.
How do I find a veterinary acupuncturist?
For reasons explained in the eBooks, it is important to find a
veterinary acupuncturist who is adequately trained and experienced in
veterinary acupuncture, ideally a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist
(CVA). The eBooks explain the qualification system in the US, Canada
and the UK and
show you where and how to find a qualified acupuncturist for your
animals. |

Acupuncture Testimonials
L.B. talks
about Oscar, her 3 year old cat:
'Oscar (my three year old cat) suffered with
intermittent lameness for 12 months following a suspected
road accident. Unfortunately he was unable to take conventional
painkillers due to previously suffering adverse effects from them.'
'Lindsey first visited Oscar when his lameness was at its worst. Her
calm,
relaxed manner made Oscar feel at ease and content. The 1 hour
treatment was completed successfully.'
'As expected, the acupuncture
slightly exacerbated his symptoms for the first few days following the
initial treatment. Oscar's symptoms then showed dramatic improvement.
lameness seems to have completely resolved after two treatments. The
treatment appears to be effective and without side-effects.'
D.W. on Ben, her 10 year old German Shepherd:
'I have been fascinated by Ben's (my German
Shepherd) reaction to acupuncture. He does not seem to register any
pain and therefore has no fear of the process; in fact, he seems to
welcome it. He is always very pleased to see Lindsey and lies
peacefully while she administers the needles.'
'After the treatment, Ben always seems very relaxed and usually lies
dozing for about half an hour following it. His incontinence and
arthritis have definitely improved through the acupuncture treatment.' |
