Veterinary Acupuncture
This technique has been used in veterinary practice in China for at least 3000 years to treat many ailments. It is used all over the world, either by itself or in conjunction with Western medicine, to treat a wide variety of maladies in every species of domestic and exotic animals.
Acupuncture is indicated mainly for functional problems such as those that involve paralysis, noninfectious inflammation (such as allergies), and pain. This can include: musculoskeletal problems (arthritis or vertebral disc pathology), skin problems (lick granuloma), respiratory problems (feline asthma), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea) or selected reproductive problems.
Dr. Hintz is performing acupuncture on a kitty with severe arthritis.
The blue needles are the acupuncture needles. Animals tolerate these quite well and actually become quite relaxed during and after their treatments.
