                                       Acupuncture can have remarkable results with slipped discs, arthritis, epilepsy and many other problems.  I took my cat, hissing and screaming in pain, to our vet.  He located the problem in the spine (the cat had one leg shorter than the others after an accident) and when he lasered the acupuncture points the animal became very calm and fell asleep on the surgery table. 

 

Peter Brown, the Australian vet and acupuncturist treated a ginger cat that had radial nerve paralysis in one leg after being impaled on a fence.  The cat wouldn’t move the leg at all, but after three acupuncture sessions was totally cured.

 

When my dobermann Little Dorrit was taken to Mark Elliot, the homeopathic vet, screaming in pain he treated her with acupuncture .She came out perfectly alright with the problem solved and Mark had saved us a lot of expense as the conventional vets had wanted to exray and might well have suggested an expensive operation. Having seen the amazing results with my own eyes it is a complementary route well worth trying.
