Episode 25: Lions, Tigers, and Bears O MY
Description:
Dr. Daneila Lewgoy joins the show from Porto Alegre,
Brazil. Her clients are not of the human
type. Rather as a veterinarian who
specializes in acupuncture and herbs she sees more of the exotic animals. How do you find UB-23 on a python? Or does Yin Tang work on a howler
monkey? To her though, it’s normal, she
just goes to work everyday!
Dr. Daniela Lewgoy, having been a small animal
surgeon for 4 years, decided that she was not doing enough for her animal
patients by just cutting and prescribing medication. It was at this turning point when she began
to specialize in acupuncture and herbs for her animal friends of all shapes
and sizes. With her increase in holistic
medicine she found less and less need for invasion surgeries (yet still
necessary at times).
In Brazil her clientele does not only consist of cats and
dogs, but of large snakes, fish, howler monkeys, birds, pigs, porcupines,
anteaters, horses, and a plethora of other creatures. A few of them are pictured below from her Instagram account.
