No Chiro for Fido Without Vet License	
WILMINGTON, NC (Chiro Wire) Some chiropractors believe that
what¼s good for their patients¼ spines benefits man¼s best friend too ã
but unless you¼re a veterinarian, don¼t open your doggie adjustment
practice just yet.  North Carolina is cracking down on DCs and other non-
veterinary providers who treat animals, the Wilmington Star-News reports. 
In what appeared to be a sting operation recently, a licensed chiropractor 
was charged with practicing veterinary medicine without a license after
allegedly performing an adjustment on a dog with hip dysplasia. The state 
is serious about prosecuting chiropractors and others who practice 
veterinary medicine without a vet license, officials say. In North Carolina, 
the offense is a high-level misdemeanor.  Chiropractic care for animals is 
becoming increasingly popular. In fact, state officials have no problem 
with the idea that Fido or Fluffy could benefit from spinal adjustments, 
the paper reports. But a veterinary license ã not just a chiropractic one 
ã is required for this type of treatment, state medical boards insist.
