All Common Animal Health Conditions Respond to Natural Veterinary Medicines
Dermatitis and Otitis - (Itching and licking skin and scratching ears)
The most common ailment I treat; and the most stressful for pets and their owners is dermatitis. There are so many versions, and so many reasons why your dog or cat can be itchy. I take time to establish the WHY for your pet. and work out a treatment plan to address your pets’ needs.
The itching could be caused by food allergies, environmental or seasonal allergies, leaky gut, or anxiety. Commonly prescribed veterinary medicines such as Steriods, Anitibiotics, Apoquel or Cytopoint can remove the symptoms, but as soon as these chemical medicines are stopped, the symptoms return.
This is because they DO NOT address the reason why; infact used longterm, these veterinary medicines will push the problem deeper into the body, causing a chronic issue, dependant on chemicals for symptom relief.
Natural veterinary medicine strengthens the body and ignites the immune system to overcome the issue longterm, safely and without side effects.
Senior pets, chronic metabolic conditions, Epilepsy and cancers.
As our pets age, it is inevitable that the metabolism will slow down, joints may become stiff and sore, with Arthritis, IVDD, Myopathy etc and chronic diseases such as Hepatitis Pancreatitis and Renal Failure, cognitive Dysfunction and Anxiety, Epilepsy or even cancer may become evident. All these conditions can be supported safely and effectively with Natural Veterinary Medicines.
For some pets we will use Medicinal Herbs in conjunction with Veterinary Medicines, to help reduce the side effect profile and increase energy levels and gut function. Some pets will transition entirely off chemicals and onto the natural herbs. Each case is different, and nothing is ever rushed, or risks ever taken. Health and safety are always paramount.
New Puppy appointments - learning how to stay healthy for life.
One of my favourite types of appointments is with first time puppy owners. I value the time taken to discuss all aspects of Positive Puppy Parenting. From Early training and socialisation. Trouble shooting mischevious behaviours. Navigating the minefields of what to feed; Vaccination advice and Titre testing information, Chemical vs Natural flea and worm treatments. And all other questions that they may have, so they can keep their gorgeous pup in a healthy state for life.
Gut Issues and Anxiety.
The Gut is the cornerstone to health, for digestion and our immune system. If this amazing system is not working correctly, we can see other issues emerge; such as skin inflammation, allergies and metabolic problems. This is an area that often requires support, and where the power of natural medicines shine through.
Anxiety is part of our fast paced modern world. The Gut has an incredible number of nerves, so the two systems are closely linked. Some sensitive dogs can really struggle with seperation issues, or changes to routine. Some are affected by loud noises such as fireworks, or even extreme weather, wind and thunderstorms. Adaptogenic herbs offer fabulous support to the nervous system. Allowing it to move from the sympathetic fight and flight mode to the calmer rest and digest parasympathetic system. Gently and effectively.
