Cats of all types If you wish, go straight to the DISEASES list Rudyard Kipling wrote about the ‘cat that walked by himself’. How well he had studied and understood the feline way of doing things. Cats are uniquely tuned in to life, both their own and ours. Cats are …., well cats are cats! Strangely, I can find no reference to cats in the Holy Bible, despite their representation in Ancient Egyptian art and artefacts. Image: Cat in a saucepan - kitten in a saucepan
We treat cats with homeopathy, acupuncture, herbs (herbal medicine), chiropractic manipulation and nutritional therapy as the main therapies offered. Other therapies may be used, according to need. The most common feline conditions we are asked to treat are arthritis, skin problems (miliary dermatitis/miliary eczema, alopecia, eosinophilic dermatitis, eosinophilic granuloma, rodent ulcer), ear problems (otitis externa, otitis media), sinus problems, respiratory infections, asthma, hyperthyroid, lameness and cancer but we take on any problem in a positive manner. We usually see cats at the AVMC premises but house visits can also be arranged, more or less UK-wide. Whether we see cats at the AVMC or at their homes, we look closely at previous veterinary history and results of any tests or investigations. We take an extensive history, enquire into diet and lifestyle, ask about management of the home, garden and other environments and examine the cat closely. Of course, cats being cats, their roaming activities may take them into environments that we cannot evaluate but we can only do what we can do. We then select appropriate therapy, whether homeopathic, herbal, acupuncture, chiropractic or other therapy. It may even be an integrated combination of these. We also advise on future management for health, to boost our chances of a successful outcome. The reason for this strategy is to optimise/maximise healing ability, so that the best use is made of the extraordinary capacity of natural medicine to stimulate the regenerative and healing mechanisms innate in the body. The use of homeopathy, acupuncture and other alternative therapies does not rule out the need for a proper examination and assessment of each patient, necessary diagnostic tests, appropriate measures to repair injury and a study of natural lifestyle and diet, in order to be able to speed recovery. We have enjoyed a good measure of success through this methodology, seeing, as in other species, recoveries from diseases usually associated with a poor prognosis in conventional terms and wisdom.

The AVMC is conducting objective analysis of clinical outcomes from cases seen. These results are being updated on an ongoing basis. To view them, click here. To give examples, these conditions contribute to the workload of the AVMC: Click on any condition for more information. Send a request if a disease is not shown or is not yet covered. N.B. Some of these links are in preparation. While the only promises that can be made are that we will always concentrate and put in maximum effort on your cat's behalf, and strive for excellence in the application of holistic natural medicine techniques, we are able to report an encouraging level of success in such troublesome and chronic conditions. A great many cats have surprised their human companions with their ability to defy prognosis and recover. Follow a full (and sometimes demanding) holistic programme and trust your cat’s healing ability, for maximum chances of success.

Cats are obligate carnivores. Because they live with us, however, they suffer many of our
diseases. They suffer heart disease and cancer, skin disease and arthritis,
diabetes and chronic bowel disorders. We come to accept these as part of normal
life for our cats, just as we do for ourselves. We believe that older cats
should expect illness. This is wrong. Old age is not a disease, nor is disease
an inevitable part of life. Our cats should be able to live to a healthy old
age, dying with dignity when the time is right for them. Cats who are reared on
