Can small animals also receive acupuncture?
Of course, common intervertebral disc diseases, arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, etc. can be treated and improved through acupuncture

What should I pay attention to after acupuncture?
Keep warm, don't get tired, and don't take a bath too quickly. It is usually recommended to take a bath 4-6 hours after acupuncture; if the baby is older, it is best to rest more within 1-2 days after acupuncture.
In what cases can't acupuncture be done?
Acupuncture is usually not recommended for patients who are very weak, frightened or angry.
Acupuncture is not recommended when the patient is very weak (usually Dr. Li Yihan will make a judgment based on pulse diagnosis and the test results of the animals before). Acupuncture is a process of "regulating qi". When the patient's qi and blood are seriously insufficient, there is no way to mobilize the qi and blood.
Also, acupuncture is not recommended for patients who are very frightened or scream during acupuncture (the needle may get stuck easily, etc.)
What is the use of acupuncture?
There are many international studies and literatures on some of the working principles of acupuncture (such as the treatment of pain, neurological diseases, immune regulation, gastrointestinal diseases, etc.)
But no matter whether it is Western veterinary medicine or Chinese veterinary medicine, in the face of the complexity of the disease, no one can guarantee the absoluteness of the matter, but we can improve the quality of life of animals through treatment. For example, a narrow intervertebral disc cannot be widened by acupuncture, but the discomfort caused by arthritis can be relieved by relaxing the meridians and activating the collaterals.
Is acupuncture more effective every day?
It depends on the situation. Not every animal can be acupunctured every day. How to choose between white needle, electroacupuncture, water needle, etc., how often acupuncture should be performed, etc.
If paralysis is cured/the pain is relieved this time, do I still need to continue acupuncture?
Elderly animals can choose long-term health care acupuncture treatment, while young animals can flexibly maintain their health care time according to the situation (seasonal changes, cold weather, tiredness from bathing and beauty, etc.)
