I agree; a vet properly trained in acupuncture is best.

 

IVAS and AAVA train vets in Vet Acupuncture in USA. See their list of

certified members at:

http://ivas.org/member_search.cfm

and

http://aava.org/pub/directory_links_public.html

 

If one cannot locate a vet acupuncturist nearby, a well trained LAc,

preferably with experience of treating animals of the species of interest,

could try a few sessions if the local vet agrees to monitor the case

before and after acupuncture.

 

Best regards,
