Dr. Akawi integrates the principles of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine and acupuncture into his vast western medical background. As part of treatment, he takes the pulse of an animal in six femoral locations and considers its “qi” or energy when making treatment decisions. WAMC's Ray Graf hosts.
