Acupuncture,
herbal and nutritional therapies
expand treatment options for dogs and cats beyond
drugs and surgery or when traditional western
veterinary medicine is unsuccessful.
As veterinarians, we have many tools in our medical
bag. Drawing on
alternative therapies gives me another tool to boost
patient care. When
treatment options for patients in my Western
medicine practice were exhausted, especially for
those who were not able to continue on steroids, I
became increasingly frustrated. My
efforts to improve animal health led me to
acupuncture, herbal and nutritional
therapies.
As a proponent of integrative medicine, I can provide
additional treatment options for my patients, including acupuncture and
Chinese herbal medications, which do not interfere with Western
medication such as antibiotics, NSAIDs or steroids.
I believe veterinary medical care is best achieved as
a collaborative team effort: family, primary veterinarians and
veterinary specialists such as veterinary acupuncturists, internists,
surgeons etc. working together to enhance your cat’s health.

As a family member, your pet's health is important
and addressing your questions and concerns is an integral part in
managing pain, treating Illness and maintaining wellness.
