(homeopathic veterinary surgeon - homeopathic veterinarian - veterinary homeopath) 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 homeopathic way of working also demands observance of holistic principles, for correct application. This is a fundamental part of the approach that is built into the methodology and includes diet work. The homeopathic consultation differs from the conventional one, in some key areas and usually takes longer. A prescription 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. 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. At the AVMC, we use exhaustive holistic methodology, with integrated alternative and complementary medicine methods. Chris Day, homeopathic vet and holistic vet, has more than 35 years of experience in veterinary homeopathy and is willing to share experiences, understanding and ideas with veterinary colleagues, veterinary students and animal owners.
