You probably know of or have been to a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner for your own ailments but what about for your precious furkids? If acupuncture for pets has you thinking ‘Is it effective?’, ‘Is it painful?’ and ‘How do you even get them to stay still?’, you’re not alone.
We speak to two experts, Dr. Audrey Loi, senior veterinarian of Mount Pleasant Vet Centre (East), as well as Dr. Jasmine Tan Kia Ming of Vet On Wheels, to find out more.
Dr. Loi is one of the first International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS) certified veterinarians in Singapore, while Dr. Tan received her veterinary medical degree from Murdoch University and learnt about Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), from renowned TCVM vets such as Dr. Bruce Ferguson and Dr. Tatang Cahyono.
Unemployment around Jacksonville rose to 5.2 percent in November, as the First Coast’s economy struggled to return to pre-pandemic norms, data released Friday showed.
For the second month in a row, counts from Florida’s Department of Economic Opportunity said the number of people holding jobs grew at the same time as the number looking for work.
But the number considered unemployed in metropolitan Jacksonville – 40,867 – grew faster as the count of people in the area’s total workforce reached its highest level since the pandemic shutdowns of businesses and offices began in March.
The 782,451 people counted as part of the area s workforce in November were still about 15,000 fewer than in February.
