Homeopathic Solutions

As your pet’s body heals it will bring back some symptoms that were not actually cured but suppressed with the treatment used at the time. It is like your pet’s body was silenced to express that symptom and now, through the healing process, that barrier has been lifted and your pet can express those symptoms again. Not all the symptoms from all the medical problems that your pet has had in the past will come back, only the ones that have been suppressed. If old symptoms return you need to contact us immediately.

Different problems often do not heal simultaneously. The more serious problems tend to heal first, the more outer and less serious problems may follow. This is just the way the body’s wisdom works.

It may turn out that your pet’s body’s priorities are different than yours in what should heal first. For example, you may be concerned about your pet’s itching and recurrent skin rash but for your pet’s body, this is a minor superficial problem. As your pet responds to the remedy, its anxiety may be relieved, digestive problems corrected, and allergies improved before the skin fully heals.

In a situation like this, you must trust your pet’s body and allow it to heal in its own way. This aspect of healing cannot be forced. Homeopathy works with the natural recuperative processes of the body but does not control them.

As your pet’s body heals, the response to the remedy at that potency will eventually fade. It is then necessary to gradually increase the potency of the remedy until the healing is permanent.

Knowing when to increase the potency of the remedy and by how much takes training and experience. Repeating remedies too soon or in the wrong potency can sometimes delay or disrupt healing.

If you give the same remedy over and over without changing it, it is possible to get a proving of that remedy. That is the remedy will start to give your pet symptoms. This is not dangerous – simply discontinuing the remedy will stop the process. It is another reason however, why follow-up is important.

They feel better as their problems resolve. We usually see our patients every four to eight weeks or so for rechecks. This allows us to monitor their progress and make necessary changes.

That depends. If your pet has been sick a long time, it may take a few years before it is fully healed. However, some pets respond remarkably quickly.

The first change is often improved energy and disposition. Since natural healing occurs from the inside out, energy changes occur before physical changes.

Occasionally, there is an increased need for sleep in the initial stages. It is as if the body needs more downtime for repairs. This is a good sign.

Most patients with a chronic health problem show a change in about one to four weeks.
