I am so excited! Emma has an appointment with a holistic vet tomorrow, Saturday 6/2/12!!!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Holistic Lovers…
I am very pleased to announce that through a fabulous series of events Emma has an appointment tomorrow with a holistic vet.
Out of the blue a woman e-mailed me inquiring about finding a basset hound for her family. She lives very near to me. She also mentioned her vet Dr. Leick (pronounced Like).
It can take a very long time to see Dr. Leick due to his limited dog hours. He spends the majority of his week with horses.
He called me right back tonight and is getting Emma in tomorrow. I was referred by a long time client and basset hound patient. I cannot thank her enough.
He found out more about Emma in one phone call than I could even imagine.
Dr. Leick is a l975 graduate of the Ohio State University. He had a
traditional multi-person veterinary practice for 25 years. Ron began to
take classes in veterinary chiropractic from the American Veterinary
Chiropractic Association, and became certified in 1998,. He took the
International Veterinary Acupuncture Society course of classes in 1999
and became certified in acupuncture in 2000.
He incorporated both modalities into his already busy practice until
2001, when he made the choice to turn towards a more holistic practice,
as the effectiveness of chiropractic and acupuncture became more and
more apparent to him.
In 2004, Ron next began taking classes from the Chi Institute of
Traditional Chinese Medicine in Herbology, and became certified in the
use of Chinese Herbs for treatment in 2006.
Ron has been an examiner for the AVCA Certification Committee and also
has served as chairman of the AVCA Examination Commission over the past
few years. He has incorporated Chinese herbs into the Chiropractic and
Acupuncture practice, while also including diet, rehabilitation and
saddle fit advice.
Ron works with his wife Margy in his practice. After graduating, also
from OSU, with a BS in Microbiology, she became a registered
Microbiologist, Medical Technologist & Animal Techncian. She had set up a laboratory in
the clinic for routine lab work, cultures and sensitivities, and plasma
transfusions on newborn foals. In 1992, she became interested in Energy
Healing on animals, and after 1996 she continued in Healing Touch and
Energy Medicine on people, going to certification in Healing Touch. She
attended a two year school in advanced healing with the same teacher, as
well as studying with her for two more years privately.
She has always supported Ron in his search for more education in
Chiropractic, Acupuncture,and Chinese Herbology. She learned a lot by
watching Ron work, and she furthered her own education to become a
human Acupuncturist at the age of 58. She has graduated
from the SHI School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in
Lebanon, Ohio, and is now working toward National Registration in
Acupuncture.

I am so looking forward to our appointment. Dr. Leick agrees that Emma needs us as long as we need her and he will work towards making that happen as long as she is willing.
Miracles not guaranteed, only alternatives.
More loving tomorrow later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Cat, So glad that you got an appointment! It sounds exciting and full of possibilities. I think there are alot of valuable healing qualities in Chinese herbs from my own experience. We will be thinking of you tommorow, let us know how Emma does.
Debbie, I totally agree. Look at the progress that Dr. Oz is making just in getting the American population to consider alternative medicine for health problems. I think our society is now part of the movement to get back to the basics. Many healing powers come from herbs. Just look at Milk Thistle.
That is wonderful Cat. Let us know what he has to say and suggest for Emma.
That is awesome!!!!! From my own experience, accupuncture and Chinese herbs were the only things that helped me a few years back. Emma is in great hands- I can feel it!
Wonderful! I’m so excited and look forward to hearing what can be done for Emma.
Getting back to the basics is something that I’ve always believed in. Sure, some new technology is great. But sometimes the basics is just as good, if not better.
Good luck and best wishes for Emma’s appt. tomorrow. Sounds as though you found a wonderful vet!
Good news Cat. Can’t wait to hear all about the visit.
I am so happy for you and Emma. I hope he can help you in keeping Emma here as long as possible. I will be thinking about you so please let us know what happened as soon as you can. Hugs to you and drool to Emma!
Cat,
I am so glad you were able to find a vet who uses Chinese meds. My vet uses them also, and I know that Rocky lived longer because she was able to help. She also saved my Sheltie from dying from hemolytic anemia. I bet he’ll have lots of ideas to help our darling Emma!
Cat,
WOW, now we are going somewhere and please know you are in our hearts and prayers. I think this is the best news yet; kisses and belly rubs to Early Morning Misty Air and of course the Mayor, we do know he worries about little Emma. Look forward to hearing all about the Vet visit!
I do believe that Dr Leick, will help Emma. Thankfully some of our traditional Vets are moving more and more to alternative medicine. Waiting to hear how things went with Emma and what DR Leick suggested.
Good luck! And love the photo of the hatchling!
