See how Photizo Red Light Therapy has helped Molly, Prudence and Mr Binks by accelerating the natural healing of their body, reducing swelling and inflammation, stimulating their immune system and relieving their pain.
We asked Lolie Borgars, one of our long-term supporters, to tell us about her beloved dog Binky and what prompted her to introduce complementary treatments into his care. Her observations about hydrotherapy in particular reveal just how holistic care can help your animal on so many levels and strengthen your bond with them. It gave Binky the chance to thrive despite his problems.
One of our long-time supporters Val Brown writes about the joys of having a rescue dog and making up for the years of abuse she had suffered as well as learning first hand about the benefits of holistic veterinary care alongside her inspirational dog Annie.
We asked integrative vet Ilse Pedler, one of our regular contributors, to give us her thoughts on what is meant by ‘natural’ and whether natural is always a good thing in veterinary healthcare.
To many people, dogs quite simply mean the world….. This blog was originally witten for National Dog Day, but it’s fair to say that every day is there to honour our enduring love of dogs. In celebration we look at the nature of the relationship we have with our canine friends, and meet some of the inspirational dogs and their owners that we’ve come across in CAM4animals.
Holistic vet Vicky Simon has recently welcomed a rescue dog to her family. We asked her to tell us how he is getting on and to highlight what people need to think about when getting a rescue dog.
Feeding raw bones can be a concern for some owners. We asked canine expert Caroline Hearn from Hedgerow Hounds to guide us through the ins and outs of feeding raw bones to your dog.
Tycho was found dragging himself through a ditch, with open sores on the tops of his paws and unable to move his hind end. X-rays showed no major breaks and the local vet concluded it was likely a herniated disc pressing on the spinal cord. Given pain relief and NSAIDs, a week later he was able to stand, but this became a stationary moment in his recovery. One video call between Yasmin from Yorkshire Pooches Therapies and Elisa his rescuer (Do Good Romania partnered with Lucky’s Legacy Rescue), and Tycho took a couple of wobbly steps. This boy has a chance, but it is going to take A LOT of work!
Sheba is a black and white rescue cat who lived in Turkey for much of her life. She suffered a spinal injury later in life and has recently benefitted from chiropractic care and homeopathy. We asked her McTimoney Animal Practitioner to tell us about her progress.
