| Oliver before | Oliver After |
Oliver, a West Highland White Terrier, was diagnosed as a puppy with Westie seborrhea, a severe dermatological disorder. This incurable skin disease caused terrible hot spots, with itching that resulted in him chewing sores in his skin and tearing out his hair which left him bald. We had been treating Oliver with "Western" medicine such as steroids and antibiotics for almost a year. However, after that year, when there were no visible signs of improvement, Dr. Burnett referred us to Dr. David Lowell, a veterinary acupuncturist and chiropractic. Oliver's symptoms under "Eastern" medicine were described as a blood deficiency. Oliver's blood flow was not sufficient enough to get to the skin, thus his disease.
It took over a year, but through regular acupuncture treatments, Chinese herbs and a home cooked diet, we had remarkable results. As the second photo shows, Oliver now looks like a Westie is supposed to too. Oliver's energy is good and we can tell he feels great, thanks to Dr. Lowell
Appointments with Dr. Lowell can be made by calling Baring Blvd Veterinary Hospital.
