I
have been primarily involved in Equine and Large animal practice with Scenar,
although I have treated a number of small animals with great success.
I have been using Skenar on a regular basis since December 1998.
The Russian experience
of Scenar is largely human orientated. As far as we know there are no Veterinarians
using Scenar (other than myself) although there have been anecdotal reports
of Scenar therapists treating a few cats and dogs. In one such reported
case an aged cat with kidney stones which was regarded as a poor anaesthetic
risk was successfully treated using Scenar with just 2 treatments. The
Russians state that good effects are obtained using the paws, ears, hairless
areas of the belly and mucosal surfaces to interface with the Scenar. Animals
may be unsure of the Scenar for the first treatment, although subsequent
treatments are welcomed on the whole. The comb probe can also be used to
treat areas covered in fur.
Horses: I have mostly
used Scenar for musculo-skeletal problems to very good effect. Acute injuries
respond remarkably quickly (3 - 5 treatments). Chronic injuries such as
tendon thickening respond well in about 5 ? 10 treatments and normal function
will frequently return although the tendon itself may still remain slightly
thickened.
Conditions which
have responded well include colic, scouring, cuts, torn gastrocnemius tendon,
iliac thrombosis, sesamoid fracture, sore backs, persistent lameness of
unknown origin. Secondary effects have been found as a result of treatment
which have included cessation of wind-sucking, disappearance of a sweat
patch which recurred after exercise over the area of an old haematoma,
corneal opacity.
Farm animals: I have
used Scenar to good effect for burns in a pig, high cell count cows, infected
joints (calves and cows), facial paralysis (heifer), contracted tendon
(very young lamb), swollen testicle (ram), lameness in cows, sheep and
goats.
Small animals: I
have found favourable results from using Scenar for lamenesses, inflammatory
mass on toe, Chronic Degenerative Radiculo-Myopathy, spondylitis, back
end collapse, diarrhoea, enlarged tendon, arthritis etc.
From the above results,
I have little doubt that the range of conditions which Scenar can potentially
help with in animals is unlikely to be any different from the Basic Results
Overview for people. My personal opinion having treated both animals and
people is that animals tend to have a more positive mental attitude and
appear to respond and recover more quickly.
