How Ba Ji San Soothes A Sore and Weak Back in Dogs, Cats, and Horses
At Natchez Trace Veterinary Services, Dr. Smith provides an Eastern exam (TCVM) in combination with the standard veterinary exam.
TCVM philosophy is very different than our standard Western medical philosophy.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine focuses on maintaining balance and finding the root cause of pet health problems, rather than simply masking symptoms with prescription medicines.
Through Eastern examination techniques, Dr. Smith chooses herbal blends to soothe your pet’s symptoms.
And, and at the same time, the herbs correct the imbalances causing the symptoms.
Ba Ji San is only one of the many TCVM herbal blends available for Dr. Smith to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam.
Ba Ji San is a specially-formulated herbal blend for relieving the symptoms of a weak back in dogs and more, while at the same time addressing the underlying causes of these symptoms.
