| 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 hematoma, 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 favorable results
from using Scenar for lamenesses, inflammatory mass on toe, Chronic Degenerative
Radiculo-Myopathy, spondylitis, back end collapse, diarrhea, 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.
