The ultimate goal is not merely to treat symptoms and get on to someone else but to restore wellness and balance to the individual.

The dog has had no seizures for eight months and is doing extremely well. The dog is still on a Chinese herbal formula but at a reduced dose and if doses are missed there are no adverse problems. Not all seizure problems can resolve as quickly as this case did but traditional Chinese veterinary medicine gives owners another alternative. In all cases a thorough Western evaluation is recommended. Chinese practices can be safely used in conjunction with Western medications and can be used in any species.
