Points for pain include LI04 and LV03. In dogs, these are ONE

SPACE LATERAL to their human locations, i.e. between mc & mt

bones 2-3 (rather than 1-2).

 

Points for bone/joint include BL11 + BL23

 

BL40, ST36 (or B34) and SP09 (or SP10) should help for problems

in the stifle (dog-knee) area.

 

Other points for the individual bones & joints are at

Treat every 3-4 days. If you do not see clear improvement by 8

days, consult a trained veterinary acupuncturist.

 

Best of luck,

 

Best regards,
