COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCHES RELIABILITY OF CHINESE MEDICINE’S TECHNIQUE OF LOOKING AT TONGUES TO DIAGNOSE ILLNESSES IN DOGS

Both research projects were conducted by Robinson; Stephanie L. Shaver, a professional veterinary medicine student; and Dr. Rebecca Ruch-Gallie, head of the community practice unit at Colorado State's Veterinary Teaching Hospital."
