Cat Arthritis Treatment
Do you think pets can be victims of a placebo effect?
One of the arguements against acupunture or other alternative healing practices using energies Science hasn’t proven exist is that clients feel better because they expect the treatment to work, that they’re victims of the placebo effect.
Do you think the same can be said for pets that receive such treatments? Can a dog or cat feel better because they believe this alternative treatment will work? Or can they feel better because they’re getting all this extra attention from their owner and the healing practitioner?
I had a wolf-dog who had some acupunture treatments for Arthritis in her hips while she was also being treated for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. She seemed pretty happy when she was getting her acupuncture treatments. I don’t know if it was releiving her pain or if she was enjoying the attention and dried chicken treats.

I feel that use with animals is one of the “proofs” that alternative medicine practices can help with physical problems.
My old cat, who was known for her difficult behavior in a vet office, calmly accepted eight to ten needles being placed on her body for 20-30 minutes. She would get quite restless for the last five minutes before the needles were removed.
My cat with bladder cancer has been clear of any bladder pathology for almost two years now. That’s a very agressive cancer and 100% fatal for cats. He had surgery and the tumors were biopsied confirming the presence of transitional cell carcinoma. He has had only homeopathic remedies since his surgery. So it is not a case of misdiagnosis or a “miracle” that he is still alive and perfectly normal in every respect.
So certainly all our pets enjoy attention and treats and I cannot see where a placebo effect is causing good results in their treatment. This may be especially true of cats who are much more resistive and upset by any conventional veterinary treatment and are notoriously recalcitrant in taking any form of medication by mouth.
