Turie Turie's Practice Eastern vs. Western Contact Dr. Turie Norman makes house calls or sees clients in
her office in Boulder, Colorado. For cats and dogs, Dr. Norman can do blood work, vaccinations, worming, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, cytology, skin scraping, fecal exams, urinalysis, administration of sub-Q fluids, wound cleaning, and other non-emergency medical care. Initial exam: Subsequent office: $60 For horses, Dr. Norman performs acupuncture, chiropractic and Chinese herbal medicine and nutritional consultation. For behavior problems, Dr. Norman incorporates Bach flower remedies. Dr. Noman's does not perform surgery or anesthesia in
her practice. Wellness Plans Our animals are exposed to toxins and harmful chemicals
daily. Sources are in the water,
the food, the ground and the air.
Consider what the city park puts on their green lawns, or what
chemicals are emanating from a new floor, or what wormer is being excreted on
the grass where your horses are grazing. More than ever we need to give these animals we love and
care for the tools to keep them healthy. The largest impact we can make in their lives is by
feeding them good wholesome food on a daily basis. The second important impact we can have on their health is
by reducing over exposure to vaccines and chemical wormers. The third way we
can impact their lives is by regular treatments of acupuncture, chiropractic,
massage, or other healing techniques that boost their immune system, activate
their parasympathetic nervous system, and reduce their pain and stress. Studies show that these techniques
will prolong our health and stay off disease processes. The following is what I would consider an ideal wellness
plan for each species. …. Dr. Norman Canine At 10 weeks of age: exam and chiropractic adjustment,
vaccinate for Parvo/Distemper with a dose of Thuja homeopathic, worm for
Roundworms using Herbal Tonic or Panacur. Second worming two weeks later. At 16 weeks of age: recheck exam and repeat vaccinations, repeat worming. At 4 months or older vaccinate for Rabies After 6 months of age can spay or neuter Heartworm prevention is encouraged in Colorado, even
though we will probably never have the heartworm problems that other warm wet
states do, CSU Veterinary School has studied the coyote population and found
them to be heart worm positive upon testing. I test for heartworm disease in the spring and give a
heartworm preventative, Heartgard, once a month June through November. Only dogs that are traveling during
the winter to states that harbor the disease should remain on the Heartgard
year round. Clients who are
worried about the effects of Ivermectin on their animals can choose to give
SOD during treatment to help the liver detoxify the effects of the Heartgard
or they can choose to give an herbal wormer spring, summer, and fall with a
retest for heartworm in the fall. I don’t like to vaccinate for Bordatella unless required
because it is not very effective and we can protect them much more
effectively with anti viral herbs. Other vaccines like Leptospirosis depend on risk of
exposure in your area. After they are finished with their puppy vaccinations I
like to detoxify the system with Waiora. At one year of from the date of vaccinations you can
choose to give a booster vaccination of the Parvo/Distemper or you can check
their blood titers to see if they are adequately protected. Legally owners are required by law to revaccinate 1 year
after the first rabies vaccination given and then every 3 years. After one year of age I do not recommend further
vaccinations unless determined by blood titers that your dog is not
adequately protected or is at risk. Start puppies on the Raw Foods Diet or the Short Cut
Diet with Dynamite Showdown vitamins and Dyna Pro. This is a life long commitment to sound nutrition. Puppies and dogs that are healthy benefit from a
treatment of acupuncture or chiropractic every quarter preferably during the
change of seasons. Puppies and dogs should be seen at least once a year for a
physical exam. Feline At 10 weeks of age I recommend an examination and
chiropractic adjustment. I
vaccinate for Feline Distemper (which is a combination of 3 respiratory
viruses) Blood test for Feline Leukemia. First worming for Roundworms with Herbal Tonic or
Panacure. Second worming two weeks late At 16 weeks of age I do a recheck exam, revaccinate for
Feline Distemper, and reworm. At 20 weeks of age I vaccinate for Feline Leukemia if
the cat is going to be an outdoor cat. At 24 weeks of age revaccinate for Feline Leukemia. Vaccination for Rabies can occur after 4 months of
age. I like to give the animals
4 weeks to recover from vaccinations before revaccinating. After they are finished with their round of kitten shots
I like to detoxify the system with Waiora. Keep in mind that domestic housecats are decimating the songbird population in the United States, killing 20 million songbirds a year. I encourage considering an indoor lifestyle for your cats, or belling them if they are to go outside. Also, cats that do go outdoors are less likely to get into catfights or to be preyed on by foxes and coyotes if they come in at night. Diet should consist of the Raw Foods Diet or the Short
Cut Diet. Purrformance is to be
given to cover their vitamin/mineral needs and to supply proper gut
enhancers. Cats should be seen for a physical exam at least once a
year. They also need body work
at least 4 times a year, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, other. A Rabies booster is required one year after the first
vaccination and then every 3 years in the state of Colorado. I do not revaccinate for feline
distemper or feline leukemia virus, but titers can be drawn and sent into a
lab to verify protection. Horses I only do complementary medicine with horses,
chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and nutrition. Diet: All grass hay with no more than 18% alfalfa. Only grain if working or weight
loss. No sweet feed. Grain should
be the Dynamite Complete Horse Feed or whole cracked corn and or barley. Good
clean water with no chlorine. 1. Dynamite Vitamin/Mineral supplement. Dynamite Plus for draft breeds and
foundation quarter horses. Check out TNT to include supplements for joints,
attitude, essential fats, and digestion. 2. Free Choice Minerals (includes the 1:1 and 2:1 Ca to
Phosphorous, Izmine, and V/M Salt. (Please ask for a catalog.) 3. Dyna Pro Vaccinations Horses are one of the most over vaccinated and wormed
domestic animals. Please
consider blood titers to determine the need for further vaccinations. Worming I recommend Herbal Tonic then doing a fecal
examination. If worms are still
present start out with the safest wormers that contain Fenbendazole, then
redo the fecal exam. If worms
are still present then do Ivermectin. Worming prevention consists of daily Dyna Pro and Herbal
Tonic 2 to 4 times a year. For problem horses ask for a consult. I feel very strongly that daily wormers should not be
used. From a veterinary
standpoint this creates resistance in the worms to these
pharmaceuticals. It also adds
daily toxins to your horse’s system. Horses and foals that are healthy will benefit from
bodywork, whether that is acupuncture, chiropractic, massage or other energy
work. This will boost their
immune system, stimulate their parasympathetic nervous system, and reduce
stress, keeping disease at bay.
The frequency depends on the individual needs of each horse but I
would suggest no less than 4 times a year. Services Provided by Healing Touch Dr. Norman performs all veterinary services for cats and
dogs with the exception of X-Ray, surgery and anesthesia. These services will be referred out
to other competent veterinarians in the area. Dr. Norman does acupuncture,
Chinese Herbs, chiropractic, nutrition, and Bach Flowers. For Horses she only does complementary medicine. Nearly all the animals accept the acupuncture needles
with out a problem. For the very
few who do not she can do acupressure and can teach the owner to do it too. Do expect to spend an hour the first time we meet. Subsequent visits take 20 to 40
minutes. Specific problems will
usually require 4 treatments spaced 1 week apart. Remember chronic problems take more time. Older and sicker animals or very
athletic animals may need to be seen every 6 weeks to maintain their optimal
health. It varies with each
individual animal Wellness Packages Maintenance Package: After the initial exam and
