TH-3 CA

Answer 5

CA: On the dorsum of the forelimb between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones, in the depression just proximal to the metacarpophalangeal joint
*Wiggle toes up and down and go as far up until they don’t move

fx: Shu-stream pt (wood), head-shaking, ear problmes, febrile disease, local pain

Question 6

TH-5 CA

Answer 6

Fx: Shoulder pain and forelimb

Question 8

TH-10 CA

Answer 8

CA: On the lateral side of the elbow, in a depression just proximal to the olecranon tuber (big depression)

fx: He-sea pt (earth), son, paralysis of thoracic limb, sore throat, deafness, toothache

*TH trails

Fx: pain in shoulder and thoracic limb

Question 10

TH-14 Eq

Answer 10

Eq: Caudal margin of the scapulohumeral joint, between the insertion of the infraspinatus and the deltoideus m.

*Cranial and dorsal to GV-14 (at the scapula/nuchal ligament junction)
*Slide dorsal to scapua and stop in big depression

Fx: Pain in shoulder and front limb, sore foot, cervical stifness, suprascapular nerve, paralysis, suspensory ligament problems

* Caudal to SI-19
** In front of an-shen

Fx: Ostitis, cervical stiffness, facial paralysis, sweeling in face

Question 14

TH-21 CA

Answer 14
