Thanking you for the great work you are doing and introducing pet owners to Homeopathy.

I am a classically trained Homeopath (now retired) and looking to raise my new pup as holistically as possible (not easy fighting all the conventional wisdom 🤣).

I’ve used Dr Pitcairn’s info for about 25 years, referenced Dr McLeod, etc and used my vet repertory in Radar with some good success. (Even tried my hand with chickens) Looking forward to furthering my pet skills . 🐾

It's the most amazing system of medicine I've ever seen, and the doubters can simply look to the animals' response to a well chosen remedy (or infant children's) and know that it's real. Neither of those know what a placebo response is. They either get better or you roll up your sleeves and find a better remedy for your patient. BTW, Drs Pitcairn and Jensen have a lovely, carefully made repertory for animals, The New World Veterinary Repertory.

Did you get the computer Repertory version or a actual book? Would like to get but want to get started with one….

I originally had both, but only had room for MacRep version when I moved. Either will do the job for you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enjoyment of life through your prolific writings! I'm so fascinated by how you present homeopathy and healing through your live classes in the Alpha group that I constantly wish I was decades younger so I could study homeopathy for a lifetime, but now is the next best time to get started. What a wonderful group, there.

Homeopathic was the only way I went for my rescue when he developed a form of Chron's Disease....

After the Vet's suggestions for my dog, and my dogs amazing recovery...

Enacted the same holistic principles for myself and entire family!

Thank you Dr. this is life-affirming work you do.

After everything I learned in the past four years I can't believe I fell for the annual pet vaccines! Ugh. My 17yr old orange tabby suddenly developed teeth reabsorbtion about 7yrs ago. I spent a lot of money to get that diagnosed b/c they couldn't figure out why he wasn't eating. Grrrr. I rescued (physically - myself) three ferals that will remain shot free and see what happens. I've already shared your site with a few of my animal loving friends. Thank you!

The correlation between vaccines and tooth resorption is strong. I'm glad you've learned from this and have chosen a natural path. If the ferals are outside, be sure to assess your local rabies incidence, however.

They're inside 😀. I started feeding a feral mom and her kittens last May. Before I could get her fixed she got pregnant again. I couldn't bear to watch her have more babies outside so I brought her inside. Thankfully I was able to get her female kit fixed and homed too!

We just adopted a 13 week old puppy (well now 4 months) that had a tooth break at some point prior to our adoption. According to our vet (who is not holistic nor is there one locally or near by) the tooth should probably be removed. However he was just neutered mid January before the rescue would adopt him out. The vet said he must go under anesthesia and the tooth should be removed because she doesn’t know if the adult tooth will push the broken tooth out. I hate anesthesia, in fact we lost a dog due to it and are hesitant to put the puppy under to remove a tooth that he will lose in 1-2 months. Especially since he was just under it less than 4 weeks ago. We feel we should wait and see. As a holistic vet what are your thoughts on procedures like this requiring anesthesia again. I don’t want to worry but also don’t want him to be at risk of other problems down the road.

No need to rush in that I can see, especially on a baby tooth. I'd give Tincture of Time (like until the adult teeth are starting to emerge) and look in there on the regular.
