When pain makes it hard for your pet to walk, play or simply enjoy the day, integrative medicine can help. Through rehabilitation, acupuncture, osteopathy and other therapies, our Integrative Medicine Service helps animals move more comfortably and enjoy a better quality of life.

On August 29, LSU Vet Med will host the inaugural Sue Crow Integrative Medicine Lecture Series for veterinary professionals. Internationally recognized expert Dr. Ronald Koh will join LSU Vet Med specialists Anais Musso and Drs. Kielyn Scott, Jonuel Cruz-Sanabria, Laura Riggs, and Lorrie Hale Mitchell to share their knowledge with veterinary professionals from across the region. By helping more veterinarians and veterinary technicians understand these approaches, integrative medicine can bring greater comfort and a better quality of life to more animals. Registration ends Friday, August 21. A link to register is in the comments.
