Yin and Yang are the categories of ancient philosophy. Yang refers to the sun, and yin refers to the back of the sun, which is darkness. Therefore, yin and yang are opposite sides, but they are interrelated things. Without yin, there would be no yang. Ancient animals The divergence of thinking is very powerful. They see that since yin and yang are opposites, then all the opposites in the world can be summarized by yin and yang, such as heaven and earth, up and down, water and fire, etc. Ever since, yin and yang have become synonymous with the opposite yet unified aspects of everything. ​​​​​​

The Yin-Yang theory in veterinary medicine can explain the organizational structure of the animal body. It penetrates the philosophical Yin-Yang theory into traditional Chinese medicine, combines it with the inherent theory and practical experience of traditional Chinese medicine, and integrates it into one, that is, the Yin-Yang theory of traditional Chinese medicine. , has become a unique thinking method of traditional Chinese medicine, used to understand the development and change patterns of cat physiology and pathology, and to guide the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The theory of yin and yang holds that the animal body is an organic whole composed of yin and yang, and each tissue structure can be divided into yin and yang attributes.

Secondly, the yin and yang and the five elements can also explain the physiological functions of the animal body. The yin and yang theory believes that the normal life activities of the animal body are the result of the unity and coordination of yin and yang maintaining opposites. The Yin Ping Yang secret of the body is a sign of health, keeping the animal in a normal physiological state. The physiological functions of the animal body, whether as a whole or in part, can be summarized by yin and yang. The application of Yin-Yang theory in animal physiology mainly lies in two aspects: the physiological functions of animals are all realized through the rise and fall of Qi in and out. The rise and fall of clear yang and turbid yin in the animal body. The Qi of the five internal organs rises and falls at different levels. The relationship between matter and function. Function is based on matter, and the production of matter is driven by function.

In terms of pathological changes in the animal body, the balance of yin and yang in the animal body is a good physiological state; the imbalance of yin and yang in the animal body is a pathological state. The pathogenesis of the disease is mainly the imbalance of yin and yang, which is also the total pathogenesis of disease changes. It can be divided into two aspects: strong and weak, and the lesions are manifested in the form of cold and heat. On the one hand, the yin and yang are in decline, corresponding to the yang's victory; on the other hand, the yin and yang are in the upper reaches, corresponding to the yin's victory. In the animal body, if yang wins, it will be hot, and if yin wins, it will be cold. In short, no matter how complex the pathological changes of clinical diseases are, they can be summarized by imbalance of yin and yang (favorable and weak). Another aspect of the animal body is that it is insufficiency or deficiency. This is a pathological condition in which either of the yin and yang is lower than the normal level. If yang is deficient, it will be cold, and if yin is deficient, it will be hot.

Yin and Yang can also be used to diagnose diseases. Yin and Yang are used to summarize the location and nature of the disease and the attributes of each syndrome, such as the dominance of yang and the dominance of yin. We need to analyze the yin and yang attributes of symptoms. Generally speaking, those with red, yellow, or reddish-purple lips are yang, and those with white, blue, or black lips are yin. A loud and loud voice is yang, a low and weak voice is yin, restlessness is yang, and lying down and silent is yin.

Finally, let’s talk about the role of yin and yang in the prevention and treatment of diseases. The purpose of our disease prevention and treatment is mainly to maintain and restore the relative balance of yin and yang, so as to achieve the secret of yin and yang. Reconciling yin and yang is the main principle of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.This principle is also the general principle that guides health care. We should let cats obey the changes of yin and yang in the four seasons and maintain the coordination and unity between cats and nature. There are different ways to maintain health in different seasons, nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter, but the purpose of maintaining health is the same, mainly regulating yin and yang to keep it peaceful. Only by improving your righteousness and preventing diseases before they become ill can you live a healthy and long life. When doctors guide disease treatment, they should also adjust the balance of yin and yang to bring it back into balance.

Yin and yang are also related to cats’ medication. Only by understanding the yin and yang status in cats can we start by harmonizing yin and yang and choose drugs with different properties, tastes and functions to cure cats’ diseases.
