Referrals to the AVMC
The work of the AVMC is
mostly referral work, from other veterinary surgeons, with some of our original
practice clients still coming for first-line help. We accept referrals and
requests for second opinions for any form of
natural therapy, as practised at the Centre and for any species.
In particular, we offer acupuncture,
homeopathy, chiropractic
manipulation, herbal medicine (herbs - herbalism)
and nutritional therapy. The AVMC has been functioning since 1987
(twenty years ago at the time of writing), the first of its kind in the UK. Mr
Day has, however, been using natural veterinary medicine for 35 years. Christopher Day is a specialist in Veterinary Homeopathy. He has also acted as examiner for the McTimoney Chiropractic examinations. He has acted as External Assessor for Exeter University/IVAS Veterinary Acupuncture courses. He has written numerous books and articles on various aspects of natural holistic medicine, especially homeopathy and lectures widely, including at veterinary schools.
Horses, farm animals, donkeys, goats etc. are more commonly seen at their home premises. Visits can be arranged anywhere in the UK, including the Channel islands and we have visited in mainland Europe. After seeing the patient, Christopher Day will write back to the referring veterinary surgeon, with details of the treatment advised. He will also send details of what conventional input is compatible and what is less likely to be compatible. He does not demand cessation of any drug therapy prior to referral and does not ask clients to cease using medication prescribed by another veterinary surgeon. Although happier to work without the complication of steroids (cortisone, corticosteroids), Mr Day does not object to taking on patients that are on current steroid therapy. He does not demand cessation of any drug input, prior to the appointment. He does not interfere with a prior prescription from a veterinary colleague. Chris Day is always willing to work as part of an animal’s veterinary team and welcomes communication on patients, at any point in their treatment, whether to discuss the patients or any of the therapies. It is clear that any success is the product of cooperative input and not a matter for individual kudos or credit. He subscribes to and abides by the Code of Practice for veterinary homeopathy, as published by the Faculty of Homeopathy and, of course, abides by the Guide to Professional Conduct of the RCVS. Therapies offered: Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Herbal medicine (herbs, herbalism, phytotherapy), chiropractic manipulation and other natural therapies. The AVMC accepts referrals in Veterinary Acupuncture, Veterinary Homeopathy, Veterinary Herbal Medicine, back problems in dogs, back problems in horses, back problems in cats, back problems in all species.

Each patient
that visits the AVMC will receive a holistic assessment and advice,
in one of our consulting rooms.
When accepting patients, it is helpful if we can receive full history, results
of any diagnostic tests and a covering explanatory letter but we have no wish to
make formalities stand in the way of our service to veterinary practices. It is
obviously vital, however, to have an outline veterinary history, with test
results, as a minimum support for the client’s history. In order to ensure a
client’s place in the waiting list, the Centre will make provisional
appointments with clients, strictly conditional upon obtaining a
veterinary referral or paperwork.
