Although the title would suggest that it is primarily concerned with greyhounds, this book in fact covers most common conditions of ALL canines, plus many others that affect the greyhound in particular. Greyhounds are used for illustration purposes. Many of the formulae are applicable to cats as well. There are over 125 pages describing in great detail the treatment of many ailments. The book is designed to lie flat on the surgery table beside the practitioner with ALL the information for each condition visible at a glance.
Extensive use is made of photographs and line-drawings to illustrate precise point location.
While pursuing a series of veterinary acupuncture seminars, veterinarians kept asking for a similar book but on Horses. Suppose for example you were wanting to treat a sesamoid condition, you would open at page 77. On the left side of the open book you would find a short discussion followed by a listing of the acupuncture points appropriate for treating sesamoiditis, or for post surgical treatment of sesamoid problems. Each point is described verbally, using anatomical landmarks, and guidance given as to the depth of insertion for needles. On the opposite side of the book you will find diagrams further illustrating the location of the points.
