Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 Has anyone used acupuncture to treat ailments for house pets? One of my cats developed asthma when she was about 9 months old, and has to go to the vet for cortisone shots every two months, as well as take pills when she begins having asthma attacks. Does anyone know if acupuncture, or even acupressure would be able to help? Thank You Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 In the UK, treatment of animals by anyone other than a vet is a criminal offence - so check out the law wherever you are before doing this (at least publicly). there's a Greek acupuncture site I cam across which had lots of info on treatment of animals with acupuncture - found it through my browser, but haven't got a name for you - let me know if you don't find it easily and I'll chase it again.

One of my dogs has had asthma attacks, and has been treated strictly with acupuncture for that. The vet can also show you what acupressure points your cat could benefit from, if you'd like to try acupressure at home.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I have a story about total pet nutrition, that I don't think I have shared yet. Years ago, our cat had some kittens, and is sometimes the way in nature, one was a runt. The time came for the kittens to start eating solid food, and then the mother decided to wean them. I grew up with animals, so I was very accustomed to this cycle, and long ago ceased to try and interfere with nature and the ways of a mother with their young. However, I wasn't noticing that this runt was too small to reach the food in the bowl that all the other kittens could eat from with no trouble. One morning I came into my kitchen to find the runt on the floor by the bowl, cold, only tiny breaths, obviously on the point of death. Again, I have had cats all my life, and I knew there was really not much hope for this kitten. Runts rarely survive. I had also never seen a cat come back from that close to death. It is the way of nature. However, I had my total nutrition in raw milk that morning, and the last drops still remained in the cup. Just to see what would happen, I put a drop on its mouth. It was too far gone to even open it's mouth. Some trickled in, so I put another drop. It was slow work. By the fourth drop, the kitten opened it's mouth and started licking it's lips. I fed it more. For the next few days I fed it nothing but Total pet nutrition in raw milk. (I make my own TN, so expanding some to TPN was a snap.) It was back to normal in a day, and in a week it was stronger than ever and well able to jump up and eat out of the bowl with the rest of the kittens. It found a good home and is still there and happy and healthy. Total Pet nutrition is the stuff!
