Before anyone jumps down my throat crying 'BUT YOU ARE NOT TRAINED TO TREAT ANIMALS!!!' - let me assure you that Chinese medicine is very practical and once the underlying principles are understood, the applications are very much the same, except of course there some differences to consider, such as the anatomy and chemistry, as well as having to rely more on observation as I can't speak Dog. Another thing to take note is of course the crazy prices that vets charge.. Can you imagine how much MORE a vet that practices Chinese medicine will charge? I was ripped off by one such a-hole vet, who supposedly practices Chinese med - don't worry, I'll make a special post just for them later 👍 So anyway, I reference Xie's Veterinary Herbology heavily to ensure that the herbs and the quantities that I use are not going to harm my fur babies, plus I love them, which means no one will give more of a shit about them than I do, so they will be getting the best care from yours truly.
