Cats are very willing and cooperative patients, who generally respond positively to veterinary acupuncture treatment. Cats accept acupuncture needling remarkably well and we believe this is because they are extremely 'body-aware' and have a good understanding of what they need. If a treatment does not fit in with their perception of their particular needs, they will usually find a way to show us. We do not sedate patients for acupuncture, since we believe it can alter the body's perception of and responses to treatment, quite apart from its potential toxicity. It also masks patient responses, which are very important in our interpretation of the acupuncture treatment programme. Furthermore, we believe a patient has a right to have a say in treatment. At the AVMC, the Acupuncture Vet performs a full chiropractic check on each patient, correcting any problems discovered, so that skeletal alignment and muscle tone are optimised, prior to acupuncture treatment. Image: Cat veterinary acupuncture (same cat as in the video above) We use LASER stimulation of acupuncture points (Acupuncture-by-LASER) for some patients, in preference to needling. Cats are well able to demonstrate which suits them best. In many cases, we use both. We also use Moxibustion or Electroacupuncture, as needed, for acupuncture point stimulation. Acupuncture vet work: a sample of the cat diseases and conditions that we are called upon to treat with feline acupuncture are (in alphabetical order): Aortic Embolism Aortic Thrombosis Arthritis Ascites Asthma Back Problem Behavioural Problems Chorea Constipation Dysautonomia Encephalitis Fears Feline Dysautonomia Hormonal Problems Iliac Thrombosis Incontinence Infertility Key Gaskell Syndrome Ligament Injury Liver Disease Megacolon Meningitis Non-Union Fracture Osteoarthritis Paralysis Sinusitis Shaker Syndrome Spinal Problem Sprain Thrombosis
