This book helped me save a horse's life. When I was far from veterinary care and had a horse stricken with colic, I was able to help him using the techniques learned in this book which augmented the veterinary acupuncture course I had taken years before. The illustrations and charts are very well done and they alone are worth the purchase price.
Very thorough book on veterinary acupuncture. It seems intended for veterinarians which may make it hard to digest for the lay person. The theory is very well explained, the chapters on history and studies are informative and the illustrations of points charts are excellent. It lacks on the practical side though. It gives you general knowledge but does not go deep into how to do point selection in relation to your clinical findings.Overall, an excellent theorical book.
Have been taking an extensive course in TCVM and was realy struggling with a few concepts, using this book as a back up to integrate with some Western medicine really helped me "get it"
A valuable veterinary resource, this is not a light weight bedtime read.I must start by saying I have not yet made it through this book, it is quite heavy going. It does do a pretty good job of walking the line and explaining the difference between TCM and western/scientific explanations and also highlights the limitations of each approach. I look forward to working my way through the book and testing out some of the clinical applications.
I am a DVM with a certificate on veterinary acupuncture, Dr Schoen's Veterinary Acupuncture has been my guide since 2005, it's clear, practical, covers all different approaches, and is a perfect book to learn and a perfect tool for everyday practice. I highly recommend it, the best book I have 'till today
Great book!!! everybody that wants to acupuncture horses - and/or dogs and cats - needs this book on his shelf. very informative very professional. its just a pity that Allen Schoen didn't do a new edition with newest researches... the book is from 2001. But beside of this its just great
This is a wonderful text on complementary medical therapies for pets. I highly recommend it and as a fellow holistic veterinarian and author (8 Weeks to a Healthy Dog, The Allergy Solution for Dogs, and the award-winning The Natural Health Bible for Dogs & Cats,) I found the information quite useful.[...]
