Healing Pet 'Chi'
Author: Kay Miller Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune (MN)
Title: HEALING PET 'CHI'
When Dr. Keum Hwa Choi lobbied for and helped start an Oriental medicine practice for pets at the University of Minnesota's Veterinary Medical Center five years ago, her dean gave it six months, she said.
Behind her back, other veterinarians called her "Dr. Witch" and referred only animals that they considered lost causes -- those with late-stage cancer, inoperable skeletal problems and organ failure.
Choi understood. Trained in scientific Western medicine, she once was a skeptic who opposed Oriental medicine (she prefers "Oriental" to "Asian") as "strange, not scientific, kind of shamanism."
But within months of starting the Complementary and Alternative Medicine service at the University's Small Animal Clinic in St. Paul, Choi had a full appointment book. One of her early patients, Roscoe, a 12-year-old boxer, had advanced nasal cancer and had been given six months to live. Choi tailored a series of herbal remedies for him. Four years later, Roscoe is still alive.

This all sounds fantastic and "the proof is in the pudding" as they say. We need more vets like her to give such care to our beloved pets!
