Does anyone know if there is any resources out there for natural alternative herbal treatments for animals?
Posted by admin on Jan 29, 2010
Not a big fan of Western Medicine as is more of a bandage solution and know that there are allot of herbs that are helpful to humans that can replace addictive medications. Is there anyone who has written a book or has a webpage regarding natural options for pets?
Thanks Tereka

There is an alternative physcian named Earl Mindell who has books on herbs, vitamins and minerals, many of which could be used in doses appropriate to the animal’s size. Also try vet web sites, if you haven’t already, espically in the United Kingdom (.co.uk) where herbal treatments are understood and valued. I personally know of a cat with tumors that were cured with doses of Vitamin E. I can not recall the exact dosage, but it would be minimal for a human but was high for the cat–maybe 80 IUs.?

Be really careful with what you give to your pets.
Raisins and Grapes are poison to Dogs. Cherry’s will make your pet have a heart attack. Chocolate isn’t good for them. There are so many things we consider good which is deadly for animals. Their systems work differently than ours.
Some times Energy Medicine is the best (Reiki) I have seen many good results with animals. One of my students is totally focus’d on doing Reiki and energy work with Horses. She is now working with the Sheriff’s posse’e in Texas and they think she is wonderful. The horses know and feel her coming into the area and they all will run to the gates to meet her.

Some sites recommend eucluptus for cats but I heard it is toxic to cats.
