SUBJECT: Acupuncture references
DATE: 4/96
I have a student who is doing a paper on the use of acupuncture in animals,
such as dogs and cats, and is finding the literature a bit thin on the topic.
Has anyone seen anything on this topic? She and I would appreciate any and
all help. Thanks, Jessie Klein

Acupuncture, chiropractic, and other non-traditional therapies are
currently a "hot topic" among horse people. The magazines Equus
and
Practical Horseman have recently had several articles on these
topics. Also you might check out veterinary journals, as more
practitioners desire training in these procedures.
