Maslinda told me she was interested to send one of her community cats, Bubu, for acupuncture treatment under Dr Susanna. Bubu is suspected to have a bladder problem and his hind leg is affected. He has been sent to the vet’s, but there does not seem to be much improvement so far, so it is definitely worth trying out acupuncture for Bubu.
Dr Susanna has been very kind to offer a 50% discount to Maslinda since she is a recommended rescuer and caregiver, and Bubu went for his first treatment last Friday.
We have offered to subsidise all of Bubu’s treatment as per our policy (50% for medical) but Maslinda says she will not claim for the first treatment. Bubu is recommended to go for another 7 more treatments and Maslinda will claim the subsidy from us for these.
We’re happy to help another street cat who is being cared for. Whether it is western veterinary treatment or acupuncture, we will subsidise as long as the treatment is administered by a qualified medical practitioner.
Dr Susanna Brida is an internationally certified practitioner of animal acupuncture and she is also a veterinarian.
She has helped us with Sunshine Courage, offering her treatments totally free of charge. We also sponsored a previous case of a cat with gum disease, Seenu, requested by Devi Narayanan in 2010.
On a personal basis, she helped my cat, Tiger, recover from a mysterious limping condition and a one-year old stubborn blistering and bloody sore (limping and sore are both gone). She is currently helping my old dog, Bobby, and he is doing much better now with monthly acupuncture sessions. Indy also benefited a lot when his life was hanging by a thread and western vets could not determine the cause, and so did Bunny when he was mysteriously sick prior to our house-moving.
We would seek all forms of reasonable and accredited treatment for the animals that come our way. What acupuncture purports to do is to help clear the blockages in the body, open up the energy channels and allow the lifeforce (known as the “qi”) to flow smoothly. However, a requirement for this to happen is to provide species-appropriate food for the animal as the “qi” is dependent on the food that they eat.
