Patient of the month! This is beautiful Ginny. She has been a patient for around 3 years now, and particularly loves the calming acupuncture points on her head ☺️
She hops onto the sofa ready for her needles, and usually has a good sleep afterwards - quite different to her usual extremely bouncy and cheeky self! ❤️🐾

Could your pet's behavioural changes be due to pain?

Behavioural changes in our pets can be worrying and confusing for both ourselves as pet owners and the animals themselves.

Electroacupuncture! Here is my lovely patient Murphy, a sweet boy who has some pain in his hips and lower back. He enjoyed a session with the electro machine yesterday, delivering gentle impulses into the affected muscles. Just a 15 minute session and then off to sleep off all those lovely endorphins! ❤️🐾

A holistic vet wouldn't support vaccination... right? Wrong?
Lepto 2 will soon become unavailable. Mine have been on L4 since it came out so... make the change and give your dog the best possible protection.
If your dog has had previous issues with vaccines, their close relatives have, or your dog has underlying health issues then chat to your vet about the most appropriate vaccine schedule.
Also, check out this group...
It started as a bit of a joke because there were no groups about pets that had a medicine, it worked, and nothing bad happened. Which is the experience of the majority. But amongst the silly posts about 'side effects' (sleeping in odd positions, turning into cats etc), you will find caring veterinary professionals who are sympathetic to your fears and offer practical advice and support.
