Happy Saturday! ☯🐾

To close out our series on the Metal Element we will review a Metal Element disorder case. This post features one of Dr. Nolin's cats Nikko and his journey with Feline Asthma.

The importance of utilizing an integrative approach to treat Feline Asthma can be seen when reviewing his case. It allowed us to reduce medication dependance, minimize side effects of those medications and achieve much better control of his chronic inflammation. All of this has contributed to improved quality of life for him and we can't be happier!

We hope Nikko the "majestic floof's" story inspires others to seek out an integrative approach for managing Feline Asthma.
