The HOMEOPATHIC VET (homoeopathic vet, homeopathic veterinarian or veterinary homeopath) is one who not only uses homeopathic medicines but also uses homeopathic principles, when examining and prescribing for a patient or group of animals. The fully committed homeopathic way of working and patient care also demands observance of deep holistic principles, for correct application. This is a fundamental part of the approach that is built into the methodology and includes diet work and a study of the animal's environment and circumstances.
Homeopathic vets in the UK officially only date from 1982, with the formation of the BAHVS, although there were vets using homeopathy before that. Chris Day has, among others, provided training for homeopathic vets, on a national and international basis. The first homeopathic consultation with a homeopathic vet differs from the conventional one, in some key areas and usually takes longer, in order to allow for proper holistic application. While this may result in higher initial costs, the overall cost of a successful case is usually very low when compared with other methods.
Homeopathic pharmacy at the AVMC A prescription supplied by a homeopathic vet is based not upon the name of the 'disease' or 'presenting complaint' but rather upon the whole picture presented by the individual patient. Because of this need for individualisation, three different patients with the same named disease may very possibly receive three different homeopathic medicines. Equally, the homeopathic vet might prescribe the same remedy for many different named conditions, if the patients involved exhibit appropriate signs and indicators. In the UK, many practices and individuals have started to use some homeopathic medicines. A smaller number have gone on to study in post-graduate courses, in order to learn proper application. Fewer still have put their development to the test by taking the Faculty of Homeopathy examination: VetMFHom. The Faculty has also created some veterinary 'Fellows' (VetFFHom) in recognition of their service and contribution to the advancement of homeopathy. The Faculty also importantly defines bounds of competence for those who take its examinations. For instance, LFHom(Vet) is awarded to those who have carried out preliminary study and have passed a basic examination. Holders of this are not expected to invite or to accept referrals from other practices or to undertake independent homeopathic practice. Homeopathic vets are usually members of the BAHVS and sometimes of the Faculty of Homeopathy. There is a Code of Practice, up to which members of each of these bodies have signed. Homeopathic vets may or may not use other forms of complementary and alternative medicine. In the UK, many practices and individuals have started to advertise their use of homeopathic medicines. These will not all be working on proper homeopathic or holistic principles or providing essential diet work but there is at least increased interest and usage in the profession, which has to be considered a step forward. As experience builds, so will the philosophy and methodology. In the USA, there are a great many homeopathic veterinarians (www.ahvma.org). The Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre (AVMC) offers Veterinary Homeopathy:

This is a truly international option, allowing access to our services from home, anywhere in the world. Homeopathic vet at work: Conditions in which the AVMC has found Veterinary Homeopathy (e.g. equine homeopathy, canine homeopathy, feline homeopathy) to be particularly helpful are:
We see animals for homeopathic vet consultation at the AVMC premises and we regularly visit an area stretching from Wales to London, from Devon to Kent, from South to North Midlands and from Bristol and West Midlands to the Wash and East Anglia. Visits are mainly to see horses but we can also arrange house calls (home visits) for domestic pets. We see many patients from London and visit London homes.

An overview of the work of a holistic vet & the therapies involved
www.veterinary-homeopathy.co.uk Explaining the work of a homeopathic vet - veterinary homeopathy
Biographic detail: Christopher Day was involved at the outset of the organisation for UK homeopathic vets and has set up the academic and educational structures for UK homeopathic vets and helped with similar work for international homeopathic vets. He established what was possibly the first holistic vet practice in the UK, in 1987.
Veterinary Homeopathy acts by providing an energetic stimulus to the body's endogenous healing and harmonising processes. Veterinary homeopathy may be used alone or in integrated conjunction with other therapies. It is a holistic therapy.

Chris Day is a
homeopathic vet who qualified from Cambridge in 1972 and whose
parents were both extremely vocational vets. He therefore studied veterinary
life and veterinary medicine from a very early age. He started to use homeopathy
on himself, from about ten or eleven years of age. He bought books on veterinary
acupuncture and on homeopathic medicine, while at veterinary school, in 1969. He
studied these and started to use vet homeopathy in his first year as a vet.
Herbal medicine and acupuncture followed soon after. He became fascinated by
chiropractic treatment in the mid-nineteen-seventies. All this explains his
holistic approach, his dedication to patient care and his integrated use of the
different therapies, each having been carefully built on the previously-studied
techniques. He thus has many years of experience in the various therapies and
has been brought up in an environment in which patient care was always
paramount.
