Ask a VET- Live Online

I saw this on TheHorse.com and thought it would be a great share for the horse therapy community. Sign up for the event before October 26th!

"Complementary therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, and herbal medicine often generate a good deal of controversy. Staunch supporters often clash with skeptics when discussing these new, largely unregulated fields of veterinary medicine. Is there any real evidence that these therapies can help horses? What training do practitioners offering these modalities have? How can you find out more about these approaches?

Get answers to these and many other questions during our free Ask the Vet LIVE online Q&A chat about Complementary Therapies onWednesday, Oct. 26, from 8-9 p.m. Eastern U.S. time (5-6 p.m. Pacific)! When you register for this event, you'll be able to send in your questions ahead of time. You can also ask questions during the live event on Oct. 26. This free live chat is brought to you by Understanding Equine Accupuncture.
