KIBO Holistic Vet Team Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine- a combination of Chinese
Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture Treatment, Food therapy and Tuina (e.g Acupressure massage)

Born and raised in Japan, with minimum English speaking skills at the time, Dr. Kaori chose to follow her dreams of becoming a Veterinarian by coming to Australia to study Veterinary Science at the University of Queensland, from which she successfully graduated in 2007. Having been exposed to Eastern medicine from a young age, Kaori chose to study Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2009 and in 2011 from the world-class practitioner Dr. Huisheng Xie in the USA. She is now a certified Veterinary Herbal Medicine Practitioner, one of only a handful practicing in Australia. Kaori is also a skilled acupuncturist who loves what she does and hopes to offer these alternative therapies to many more of our furred or feathered family members. She is currently working in Noosa/Sunshine Coast in QLD/Australia. Please visit my webpage for KK's Holistic Veterinary Service at www.sunshinecoastvet.com.au

When Koa first came to KIBO, he simply couldn't gain weight, no matter what his mum tried. His ribs were sticking out, and he was literally skin and bones!

He was also a very anxious boy โ€” timid, cautious and unsure around people, other fluffies and new surroundings.

Through a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) assessment, KK identified Spleen Qi Deficiency with Dampness.

In TCVM, the Spleen is responsible for transforming food into energy and nourishment. When Spleen Qi is weak, digestion, weight and overall vitality can suffer.

Our team commenced individualised food therapy and Chinese herbal medicine to tonify (strengthen) Koa's Spleen Qi and support his digestion.

Rather than just treating symptoms, Dr. KK carefully selects herbs to support the body's natural functions and restore balance.

Every formula is tailored to the individual fluffy, with careful consideration of their health and treatment safety. Our aim is to nourish and support the body while minimising unwanted effects.

And look at Koa now! ๐Ÿถ

And it's not just his weight!

๐Ÿพ His ribs are no longer sticking out.

๐Ÿพ His digestion and poos are much better.

๐Ÿพ He's showing less anxiety and more confidence.

๐Ÿพ He's happier, brighter and full of more energy!

This is what makes us smile at KIBO! ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŒฟ The beauty of treating the whole fluffy

In TCVM, the mind and body are connected. When we support the body's underlying imbalances, we aim to improve overall wellbeing, not just one symptom.

Koa's progress is a lovely example of this whole-body philosophy. Every fluffy is different, and results will vary.

Keep going with all the goodies, Koa! You'll be graduating from KIBO before you know it! ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿพ

Another happy fluffy and one very happy KIBO team! ๐Ÿ’š

Here's a little peek behind the scenes at KIBO, where the herbal magic happens! ๐Ÿพ

Unlike ready-made, off-the-shelf herbal products, our formulas don't come straight out of a bottle with a fancy label.

Oh no... KK likes to do things the traditional way! ๐Ÿ˜„

Every fluffy is different, so every herbal formula is too.

Using her years of experience and knowledge of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, KK carefully selects the herbs, grinds them, then compounds them with other herbs creating a formula specifically for your fluffy's individual needs.

It's a little bit of science, a whole lot of traditional knowledge, and plenty of hands-on work!

So when you ask, "Why do your herbs cost more?"

Tick season is here and we are seeing more than average cases this year! For our beloved fluffies, prevention and early detection can make all the difference. โค๏ธ

But here's something we want every fluffy parent to know:

๐ŸŒฟ A healthy, balanced body is important, but it doesn't make your fluffy tick-proof!

๐Ÿ”Ž Make tick checks a daily habit!

Run your fingers slowly through your fluffy's coat, feeling for any unusual lumps or bumps. Pay particular attention to:

Watch for changes in your fluffy's bark or meow, wobbliness, weakness in the back legs, vomiting, difficulty swallowing or changes in breathing.

If you find a tick, remove it promptly with a suitable tick-removal tool kit if you can do so safely, and seek veterinary advice immediately. If you suspect paralysis tick exposure or notice symptoms, seek emergency veterinary care โ€” don't wait for symptoms to worsen. Speed is key ;)
