There is a wonderful alternative vet connected with Midway Animal Hospital in Crystal River, FL, where we camp in the winter. She was the first vet that Higgins saw....on his way home his very first day. We stopped there for natural foods for him and she talked with us for half an hour about the importance of nutrition for our little guy. She does acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage on animals. She wouldn't take Higgins as a regular patient because she no longer does "well baby" work, but it's nice to know she is there for our Pogo if he ever needs anything.
It is so gratifying to see vets as well as human doctors embracing alternative therapies. They don't work for everyone, but then, neither does penecillin or regular medicine. Nice to have options for all of us! |
