Does anyone know or can recommend an accupuncture pet practitioner close to Bern?
I have a three legged dog who benefits greatly from it so hoping to continue the treatment in Switzerland.
Thanks so much
Hi all,
Sorry can't help, but was just thinking how my dog would never lie still whilst having needles stuck in it
How is your dog with the Liver tumour doing? Ok I hope!
It’s really funny actually - here they give him a lick mat but I can still here him barking from the car 🙈😂
It really gives him a lot of relief though!
My girl is actually doing great! Thanks for asking! We ended up being really lucky. When my vet did the laparoscopy for the biopsy it was one isolated tumor so he just removed it (the size of two fists). The labs came back and it was benign - we still need to monitor her every 6 months or so but for two dogs with cancer.
My pups 2 : 0 cancer 🙌🏻
I just put “tier acupuncture bern” in my search bar and a few came up. I can’t recommend any but you could start your research.
My old girl really benefited from it mixed with physio/osteopathy. We tried hydrotherapy but she found that too stressful. For the acupuncture and physiology she would fall asleep mid treatment.
Good luck
If you don't get a recommendation in Bern and are open to traveling further afield, I can recommend Dr. Annina Laim at the Ennetseeklinik in Hünenberg ZG

That's quite a trek for you, however. Hopefully someone will have a recommendation in Bern.
Dr Laim studied at UniBe veterinary school, so I would guess that the Kleintierklinik at the university might also be a resource for you.
Also, ask your general practice vet - often this is offered at the practice, or your vet will know of someone in the area.
Veterinary acupuncture is fairly easy to find in Switzerland.

I am so pleased to hear that your girl's tumor turned out to be benign. What a relief!
I can second this. My kitty suffered a terrible spinal trauma and underwent surgery at the Tierspital in Zurich. As part of his rehabilitation he had acupuncture at Ennetsee. The vet who does this there is wonderful and I have to say (Dr Laim), his recovery confounded everyone including her. He's a miracle kitty though.
You can try Dr. Patrick Blättler in Frenkendorf, BL.
