Hello, my name is Cat and I wish I had known about this practice many years ago. I had a beloved gray tabby cat named "Cuddles". Cuddles, for whatever reason, got arthritus so bad he became disabled. He could no longer walk, but he would drag himself to his litter box, somehow get himself into it, and take care of his business. He was the sweetest pet I had ever had. Well I took him to a local veternarian and the outcome was heartbreaking. I was told there was nothing really that could be done for him and the kindest thing to do would be to have him put to sleep. It broke my heart and I cried over this for a long time. I wish veternarian acupuncture would have been available or an option for us at that time. We were living in a small rural town in Missouri.
I enjoyed reading this article and hope that many more pets and other animals are helped in this manner.
