EverLoved Veterinary is the only practice providing in-home veterinary acupuncture in the Mobile and Eastern Shore area. Certified in veterinary medical acupuncture and rehabilitation, owner Lydia Sullivan values the house call approach because it minimizes the discomfort of having to transport a pet in pain, while also providing a familiar and private setting for treatments.

“Because of its general lack of adverse side effects, acupuncture is especially ideal for treatment of geriatric patients or those having multiple diseases which limits the use of medications,” says Sullivan, who also specializes in end-of-life care for pets.

Conditions that are commonly treated with this natural therapy include inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, irritable bowel disease and asthma; neuropathies such as intervertebral disc disease, degenerative myelopathy and hind end weakness; chronic pain and acute post-surgical pain; soft tissue and exercise-related injuries; liver and kidney disease; and skin diseases such as lick granulomas and allergic dermatitis.

With an initial home visit lasting up to an hour,
Sullivan thoroughly assesses the pet’s condition and living environment. Symptoms are also managed with environmental adjustments, massage therapy, exercises, medications and supplements.
