What Happens During a Visit?

Treatment begins with an initial holistic examination (up to 75 minutes) which includes:

  • History taking: questions regarding your animal’s current health concern (for example — a skin problem). Also, questions regarding digestion, drinking, sleep, temperament, diet, etc., which help us to understand the root of the issue.
  • Review of prior medical records where applicable (x-rays, labwork, etc.,). This includes any records you may want to bring from any previous veterinary examinations.
  • Thorough examination using holistic approach to veterinary medicine. This includes conventional approach plus evaluation of tongue, pulse, coat, skin, radiance, temperament, etc.
  • Recommendations on appropriate diet for your animal’s condition.
  • Treatment with acupuncture and/or osteopathic manipulations depending on your animal’s needs.
  • Determination and recommendation on appropriate herbs and supplements.
  • Recommendations in conventional medicine if advisable (further blood tests, x-ray, MRI, ultrasound, etc.)
  • Contact with your conventional veterinarian if necessary.
