“Our four month old puppy was not OK! He would not eat, drink or play. We were worried we were going to lose him. Fortunately we know Isabelle. She came to our home, prepared and capable. It was obvious from the first moment that Dr. Isabelle was the right person for the job. We felt very supported while she gently assessed the situation. Her plan worked perfectly.”

“Dr. Isabelle Busta is a lifesaver! When my boxer Ziggy was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, western medicine only gave him 3 months to live. Dr. Busta examined Ziggy and gave him Chinese herbs, a diet based on Chinese medicine and acupuncture on a semi-regular basis. He lived 18 months passed his diagnosis from western vets and his quality of life was through the roof. He eventually passed away but did so on his own accord. He decided when it was his time. He literally fell down and died when I was giving him love. What a gift!
Dr. Busta has also started acupuncture on my pit-bull Fable. Her back knee was blown and we would not do the surgery western medicine wanted to proceed with. We called Dr. Busta and again she was over to our home helping again. Fable is on herbs, diet therapy and acupuncture all with great results. She is putting pressure on her leg again and joining us for our daily excursions once more.
I would and do recommend Dr. Isabelle Busta to anyone who has a dog. It is great to have a second opinion when western medicines answer might not feel right with your intuition. I have seen first hand her work as an effective treatment. She has an amazing energy about her that transfers to the clients, and she is truly at your home until all of your questions have been answered. She is not your normal Vet; she is better.”

“I have a 17 year old cat. His name is Fred, and in his day, he was very active and a very skillful hunter (if you know what i mean). So you can bet it has been hard seeing him get old, and he was having trouble moving his back legs and balancing enough to stand and walk. He could no longer get onto the couch. He was in obvious pain, and the pain meds helped with the pain but not the mobility at all. He also wasn’t eating very much – only a few bites of food a day.
During the first session, I wanted to focus on the mobility, and as Dr. Busta was putting the needles in he got up and stood without wobbling and started to just walk around with the needles still in – it was so funny. He was so happy to be able to move, you could tell he was excited he was head butting Dr. Busta and me. The effects lasted several weeks. During the second session I told Dr. Busta that he was not eating very much either and so she did a point to stimulate appetite and he literally got up and walked over to the food bowls and starting eating with the needles still in.
At the third session he was obviously excited to see her and got up from his coveted sun spot behind the couch to stand by her so she could do her magic. After 3 acupuncture sessions he is walking and running!! He can get onto the couch and he is not on pain meds anymore. His appetite has improved as well. Overall, he seems to be much healthier and happier. Dr. Busta is great with him, she has a really good “bedside” manner. And of course she is very knowledgeable having both her western DVM training and Traditional Chinese Medicine background to draw from. I highly recommend her.
Oh! almost forgot… She comes to your house, or barn. How cool is that. Talk about less stress on your animal and you.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! (Fred typed that)”
