Every weekday morning, Jane Morse leaves her home in Arlington’s Buckingham neighborhood and begins making house calls to the half-dozen or so patients on her schedule for the day in Virginia, Maryland and the District. In her bag, she carries dehydrated chicken, freeze-dried liver, dried apple and sweet potato-flavored treats, dozens of slender needles, Chinese herbs, and a separate case that holds a cold laser and special laser-protection glasses.
Morse, 62, is a holistic veterinarian who uses acupuncture, massage, laser therapy and herbal medicine to treat canine and feline patients for everythign from arthritis and allergies to kidney disease. On Saturdays, she sees pets in her office at the Ballston Animal Hospital. But during the week, she goes to them.
