A 10.5 year old female domestic shorthair cat was presented for treatment of a ventral abdominal eosinophilic plaque of 10 years duration. The lesion started after a presumed suture reaction following an ovariohysterectomy and vaccination and failed to resolve despite years of treatment with flea control, antibiotics and steroids by both the original veterinarian and a university referral hospital. After 3 weekly local treatments with B12 aquapuncture at CV-17 and CV-14 and the lesion circled with dry needles as well as a daily topical application of Noni juice, the lesion partially resolved. However, at week 4, there was a severe reoccurrence. Besides the above aquapuncture and acupuncture treatment, dry needles also were placed in LU-7, KID-6, GV-20, LIV-3, and ST-36. A modification of the Chinese Herbal formula Long Dan Xie Gan
Tang, used to drain fire from the Liver and Gall Bladder channels and drain Damp-Heat from the Lower Jiao, and Shen Ling Bai Zhu Pian, used to tonify Spleen Qi and dispel Damp, were prescribed to be given at a dose of 600 mg and 500 mg respectively, orally every 12 hours for 30 days. On a 2 month recheck visit, the lesion had completely healed. This case is an example of the power of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine to resolve chronic disease by treating the root cause and not just the superficial signs.
