If someone has a TCMV to recommend in New York City, please post to

the list (or email the info directly to me). This is something I'm

frequently asked about, but don't know of anyone to recommend.

 

Many thanks,

Dear Sarah or Phil:

My advice is to work on the dog yourself. That's how I learned. I'm

licensed to work on people but a vet took me under her wing. She

taught me about animal problems and let me apply human principles to

animals. Now I work for her as well - at her huge Florida clinic

under her license and her legal protection. This is legal - her

husband who runs the clinic is a lawyer. Having a close affiliation

and working on site only protects you from veterinarians trying

to " shut you down. "

 

Anyway, I started two years ago not knowing a heck of a lot. There

are lots of books on the market for veterinary acupuncture. The

anatomy is similar to ours but... you have to be able to " feel " the

points, so you can't be one of those acupuncture " techs " who does

cook book acupuncture, which is the way the most veterinarians

perform acupuncture. I think human trained acupuncturists work with

animals much more competently.

 

If you can find a vet who does Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation

(VOM) with a chiropractic mallet, that's going to help your dog

alot. Lumbar 2,3,4 affect the knee.

 

Good luck, Ecleea

There is a vet who does acupuncture and herbology out on Long Island. I've

never had the opportunity to use him, but everyone I know raves about him. His

name is Dr. Wen and he's at the Hampton Veterinary Hospital, 176 Montauk

Highway, Speonk, Ny 11972. His phone number is 631-325-1611. A number of

people have told me that he literally saved their pets' lives. Hope this helps.

Peace, Elizabeth Casey, L.Ac.
