CATS: HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES & Many of you will know that Mereline, my partner and I are very committed to animal welfare and have wide experience of using homoeopathic remedies in the treatment of small animals especially cats and dogs. George MacLeod MRCVS, DVCSM, is one of the UK's homoeopathic stalwarts and was for many years one of the few vets with very much experience of homoeopathy. In earlier years I recall vividly many telephone conversations that I have had with George asking his advice for particular animals ill at the time.

Now there are quite a few books around on veterinary homoeopathy but ten years ago there was only Kay Sheppard's two books on dogs and cats, rather slim volumes, but it was all there was and they were surprisingly useful. Indeed I recall that if you were looking for something about a cat and it wasn't in the cat book you could often find it in the dog book instead; I think it was because the book on dogs was published a little later and has a few extra pages. George MacLeod has already published books on the homoeopathic treatment of horses and cattle and I might mention he had previously given a long paper on the homoeopathic treatment of goats, in the VH Journal. I mention that because George is very popular and well respected in the homoeopathic goat keeping world. I have been fortunate to listen to George MacLeod speak on a couple of occasions and I can tell you he is usually at his best when answering questions, his experience and particularly interesting anecdote begin to sparkle. Dogs: Homoeopathic Remedies was previously published as the Homoeopathic Treatment of Dogs by the Homoeopathic Development Foundation, and the new volume is virtually the same although I have not compared them word for word. It will help you to understand the arrangement of style of the book if you know something about the way George MacLeod prescribed. He is a great fan of Hughes and so tends to rely more on physical symptoms rather than psychological ones. The two books are very similar in their arrangement in that they take the various differences of the digestive system, respiratory system, nervous system, urinary tract, muscular skeletal system etc, and the various diseases found under each section. The general comment about the condition its aetiology, clinical signs and treatment. Under cystitis for example there are twelve remedies with a few fines on the indication of each. I found these are both very useful books for serious prescribing for cats and dogs, together with helpful information for those not trained in veterinary medicine. I would not recommend the two books as the first books to buy on veterinary homoeopathy, for that I would suggest The Homoeopathic Treatment of Small Animals: Principles and Practice by Christopher Day, also published by C.W.Daniel & Co. Ltd., at 8.95 pounds. This is a much more general book and could be recommended to patients whose hobby is to treat their animals with homoeopathic medicines. George MacLeod's two books are not intended for beginners but they would be very useful for orthodox vets who are interested in using homoeopathy. A note of caution: although as homoeopaths we are allowed to treat two legged patients under common law, we arc not allowed to treat the four legged variety and especially I suggest that you do not charge fees for it. These are useful additions to your library if you are at all involved in the treatment of cats and dogs as many of us are. The Homoeopath Vol.11 No.4 1991 |
