Abstract

One male Arabian horse, 13-year-old reared in Galway, Ireland, was diagnosed as laminitis. Hemo-acupuncture at TH01, SI01 and ST45 was used. Injection acupuncture with dexamethasone was also applied at the same acupoints after homo-acupuncture twice a week. Bee-venom was injected into GV01 at session 2. After session 3, the patient showed almost normal walking.

아일랜드 갈웨이주에서 사육중인 13살, 수컷, 아랍종말이 제엽염으로 진단되었다. TH01, SI01 및 ST45에 혈침 및 덱사메타손 수침(2회/주)을 각각 실시하였다. 또한 2회째 봉독(아피톡신 $200{\mu}g$을 동량의 리도카인에 혼합)을 GV01에 수침하였다. 3회 침치료 후 말은 정상 보행이 가능하였다.
