Alternative medicine

Like me, the family of my CEO also has a range of animals living in their habitat. Perky her related to me about what happened to her pets as we sat in our office's condusive lounge area over lunch last week.

Her intelligent 12-year-old cocktatoo had liver failure last year becos it consumed some fungi-coated sunflower seeds. It was then brought to the usual family vet and the family was told that it would not survive the attack. Sadness struck.

Upon a friend's recommendation, the lovely bird was seen by an Australian vet, Dr. L - one who specialises in alternative medicine practice and never believes in putting an animal to sleep. Wow! With patience, it was treated with vitamins and it was slowly nursed back to health gradually!

When their golden retriever broke one of its legs, Dr. L treated it with acupuncture and had its diet filled with vegetables and protein foods. Amazing, isn't it?
