Rosie�s 3rd Acupuncture Session (Day 36)

We’re really grateful to our vet-acupuncturist who made time for Rosie today so that she could have a session.

Rosie is very perky now – trying to dig her way out.

She even ate in the car!

Twice.

And she ate at the clinic too.

Nine needles today.

Rosie’s pulse is still weak. But with TCM, it takes weeks before any progress can be seen. The vet explained that in TCM, blood test results is not the deciding factor. Well-being is. If the patient shows improved clinical well-being, that is good.

So, we shall continue with the Chinese herbs and the acupuncture sessions every week.

Rosie was SO good, we played peek-a-boo during the 20 minutes while the needles were in.

And just before the 20 minutes were up, what do you know? Rosie stood up and shook 3 needles off.

Cats…they know.

On the trip back, Rosie sat on my lap and actually, wanted to explore around the car. But I thought it better to just let her sit on my lap.

Makan, back home!

The vet did bring to our attention that perhaps Rosie’s tummy looks so bloated because Rosie did lose quite a bit of weight and condition during that period when treatment first started. So, this may make the tummy look even bigger in comparison with the rest of her body.

But if well-being is a yardstick, then yes, Rosie seems much better now than before. At least she wants to eat and she wants to explore.

So never mind what the numbers say, we shall live in the present moment.

Meanwhile, eat up, Rosie!
