Modern Treatments For Pets
“CALGARY- Acupuncture is not the only human-type health care available to pets.
Some other medical services include:
Physiotherapy: Can achieve similar benefits seen in human physical rehabilitation to restore function after surgery or injuries, reduce pain & inflammation or improve general well-being in old age.
It can include hydrotherapy…general stretching & manipulation of limbs (yoga), massage, & simple exercises…
Dental care: Dog & cat owners are urged to brush Fido & Fluffy’s teeth regularly…
Diagnostic Imaging: Includes X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, & magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) to diagnose or confirm everything from fractures to tumours.
Radiation therapy: Uses complex equipment to shrink or destroy cancerous cells…
Radioiodine: An option instead of medication or surgery to treat hyperthyroidism. Involves injection of radioactive iodine…
Diabetes treatment: Insulin injections administered by owners are considered benchmark therapy. The treatment involves careful monitoring of insulin levels, diet, & exercise.
In-clinic procedures can include ongoing laboratory tests to measure blood glucose levels & liver enzymes…
Major surgeries: Some of the same operations performed on people can be performed on animals, including pacemaker implants, gastrointestinal surgeries, & kidney transplants.
Reiki: Channels healing energy through the hands to the animal to relieve pain & provide calming influence…Cats seem to be especially receptive.”
