More than 100 animals have received traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments since a TCM consulting room was established at a veterinary clinic in Shenyang, Liaoning, 10 months ago.
自10个月前辽宁沈阳的一家动物医院设立中医咨询室以来，目前已有超过100只动物在此接受中医治疗。
The attending physicians are always fully booked, said Zhang Hong, director of the clinic.
