Alternative healing for cats [View all]

I have a diabetic cat. We tried nutrition therapy; sometimes that's enough to get a cat's glucose levels in the good levels. However, that didn't work for my Oliver.

I talked things through with two different vets. Both recommend insulin injections 2x a day; the cost of therapy is about $200 a month. Add follow up vet visits and blood tests for at least a couple of months, we're talking about another $300 or so.

I'm just getting back on my feet after long-term un- or under- employment. I was hoping that someone could recommend a vet who is into alternative therapy, such as acupuncture, tinctures, herbs. Can anyone recommend anyone who does this kind of work? I am in NYC and would travel in the five boroughs to get the treatment.

Positive vibes to help me find the right practitioner also appreciated.
