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. 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 use some 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. In the USA, there are a great many homeopathic veterinarians (www.ahvma.org). The Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre (AVMC) offers Veterinary Homeopathy: At the AVMC, we use thorough and detailed holistic methodology, with integrated alternative and complementary medicine methods. Chris Day, homeopathic vet (vet homeopath) and holistic vet, has more than 38 years of experience in veterinary homeopathy and more than 28 years experience in veterinary acupuncture and is willing to share experiences, understanding and ideas with veterinary colleagues, other homeopathic vets, veterinary students and animal owners. We also offer an on-line Video Consultation Service, for those who are unable to travel to see us, whether through illness, disability, distance or foreign residence. This is a truly international option, allowing access to our services from home, anywhere in the world.
