[Pet Health Admin]

This book, the first book written by an American veterinarian specializing in homeopathic medicine, teaches the average consumer how to use natural remedies to treat common, acute, and chronic problems in cats and dogs. Hamilton covers digestive complaints, skin diseases (including flea irritation), respiratory disorders, urinary diseases, mouth, teeth, and gum problems, ear pain, musculoskeletal ailments, injuries and traumas, and psychological and behavioral problems. He also addresses several issues that cannot be found in any other book on veterinary medicine including how to treat hyperactive cats and dogs, how to differentiate between true healing and suppression or palliation of a disease, and the dangers of veterinary vaccination.
Customer Review: Perfect
I was looking for a materia medica on animal homeopathy similar to "Homeopathic Medicine at Home" by Maesimund B. Panos which is the ultimate guide to diagnosing and treating symptoms that I've been using for over 20 years. I ordered a number of books including this one and ended up returning the others. This offers a quick reference to symptoms and remedies along with dosage guidelines and also includes an in-depth reading on using homeopathy with animals opposed to the typical veterinary care/ western approach which is centered around targeting specific bacteria with antibiotics, which I have found tends to clog the liver over time and weaken the overall immune system. However, you can skip the reading and go right to the symptom/ remedy section if you prefer.
Customer Review: An Excellent Resource for Anyone Who Lives with Cats or Dogs
One of the most impressive pieces of evidence for the efficacy of homeopathy comes from their clinical use in animals and a small number of research studies in which animals with several maladies have been helped with this form of treatment. The author of this very useful book followed a route familiar to many of us: he came to homeopathy after being frustrated by some of the limitations of conventional medicine. He also describes his inability fully to explain the problems of the animals that he was seeing unless he started seeing them as something more than little machines that needed fixing. He also began to see that homeopathic principles enabled him not only to understand what was wrong with the animals that he was seeing, but also to predict effective courses of treatment and outcomes. The book is well organized and well written. After an initial introduction to the principles and practice of homeopathy, he gets straight into a discussion of how and when to use remedies. He also gives some pointers as to when to seek help from a veterinarian and how homeopathy and conventional medicine can work well together. This is followed by nine chapters dealing with systems: skin, ears, eyes, digestive system and so on. The final sections list a number of conditions that may be helped, and the book is rounded out with a discussion about vaccination in dogs and cats and an appendix containing a glossary, homeopathic suppliers ad holistic and homeopathic organizations. This is an extremely practical book, and for its size and scope, remarkably inexpensive. Even as an experienced homeopath, the book taught me a lot. It is also perfect for the complete beginner. No one book will turn anyone into a Master Homeopath, but this one is quite enough to get you started and to consider some new options for treating the whole animal. If you love your animals, you may well find that homeopathy could be a simple, inexpensive and non-toxic way of keeping them fit and healthy and for dealing with simple complaints. And if they do need to see a vet, then the remedies may provide a wonderful support for any other treatments that they may need.
