If you’ve been reading this blog for any time, you’ve probably already achieved success treating your family with homeopathy.
Does it seem to be placebo?
Of course not!
Ridiculous!
How do we know it’s not?
Let’s look at animals for our answer. Animals cannot be affected by the placebo effect, yet homeopathy in veterinary care is a growing practice. It cures chickens, cats, dogs, ducks, herds of cows, wildlife, etc and is the mainstay of even conventionally trained vets.
Homeopathy is just as efficacious for the animals as for people.
What powerful evidence that homeopathy is more than placebo when an animal is cured over a few hours or days by a few tiny pellets dissolved in its mouth!
Obviously, belief in the power of homeopathy is not needed for the healing transformation.
I recall Katie, a lab who had a terrible time with itching.
She would scratch until she bled and it kept the entire family awake at night. She loved to eat and ate twice as much as the other two dogs she lived with.
Outdoors was Katie’s favorite place to be, as long as it was not too warm. When summer arrived, she sat against the air conditioning unit to stay cool.
Around the time the itching commenced, Katie began to emit a strong dog odor and took to not waiting until it was time to be let out before she did her duty.
That is, she preferred the dining room floor to the back yard. In short, Katie was becoming a burden to her family.
A visit to the vet left her with a prescription for antibiotics to prevent potential skin infection and a steroid for the itching. After a month, Katie’s skin was slightly improved except now she had diarrhea nearly every day and was lethargic.
The vet then prescribed another medication for the diarrhea in hopes it would also deal with the fatigue. It appeared Katie was moving towards chronic illness and her meds were stacking up.
Katie’s owners decided to halt the drugs. Instead, they gave her Sulphur 200 four times in one day once every 2 weeks.
Within the first 3 days, Katie stopped messing in the house and seemed to be much like her old self again. She still scratched, but it occurred less frequently and for a shorter duration.
Her family noted that the odor seemed to dissipate around a week or so after starting the remedy and the diarrhea tapered off over a period of two weeks.
One month later, the family reported that their pet was free of the itching, odor, malaise and even the side effects from the ill-conceived drugs.
Placebo or genuine medicine? Katie and her family know the answer—homeopathy’s the real thing.
Treating pets may seem more difficult than finding the correct remedy for our child’s ailment because your pet can’t relay symptoms.
Here’s where our powers of observation are honed. Every behavior of the animal is a clue.
Is she cowering in the corner? That’s anxiety.
Is she thirsty or eating more than usual? The presence or absence of thirst and appetite is an important guiding symptom and is easily
observable in animals.
We repertorize the symptoms of our pets exactly the same way as we do for any human ailment. If you’ve got a pooch with a skin problem, research rashes in your homeopathy books.
No matter that the book is geared toward humans. Symptoms are symptoms and are real as long as they’re not side effects of a drug.
Try treating your pet, livestock or wildlife.
In no time you’ll have enough familiarity to recognize the correct remedy in a jiffy.

Sulphur has been often mentioned as having helped animals regain their health – what other remedies have been of particular use in many animal cases – would it be the same ones that are most commonly effective in humans?
Remedies work amazingly with babies, too! That certainly can’t be attributed to the placebo affect!
Isn’t that the truth! If you’re ever trying to convince a naysayer of the efficacy of homeopathy, just let them observe its effect on babies and animals. Sometimes improvement takes place immediately.
Here’s another example to prove that homeopathy is no placebo:

What is a good book for homeopathy for dogs?
15 years ago my collie boy Piper began having seizures at 6 months of age. At that time I worked with a homeopathic vet in Connecticut to get him on the right remedy. She said this is common in collies and the allopathic treatment of heavy medication would make him one drugged doggy, and that he would still experience seizures but from a drugged state. After a very short course of sulphur 30c he only seizured mildly one other time in his 13 years of life, and that during a time of extreme stress from heat and other influences in his life.
Now I have a border collie mix who is the most centered, calm therapy dog on the planet. He goes everywhere with me including work. Part of his perfection is that he is in the field of craniosacral therapy 4-5 times each day since he goes to work with me. Part of his vibrancy is that I do NOT feed him commercial dog food – ugh! – but a raw food diet as he would eat in nature. And the third leg of the stool that keeps his foundation balanced and solid is that I regularly give him tissue salts, aka cell salts, to keep his mineral balance up, and only treat him homeopathically should any incidence occur. Which (due to the first three legs of his health care) never seems to.
It is so empowering to know that we don’t have to rely on the guessing games that vets and doctors play, which in many cases lead to worse health. I wish my mom had read this before she put down her dog last year for the same symptoms (which I thought was horrible!).
I was just talking about this the other day (I was trying to make a wee video on homeopathy). We had the occassion this week to use homeopathy on one of our goats. She tore a ligament in her leg. I used arnica immediately afterwards for the shock. (I also needed to use aconite with one of my daughters who was so distraught over the goat and couldn’t breath) After a visit with the vet to know what the damage was I switched the goat over to Ruta gav. Within 48 hours you couldn’t see any swelling unless upon colse inspection. And she had only a small limp after 48 hours. The vet thought we were going to have to use a PVC pipe to make a makeshift splint for her ankle, but now, four days later no one would know she had a severe injury to her leg! I always stand in awe of the powerful effects of homeopathy. Each and every single time!
What an amazing story! I’ve seen so many animals make astoundingly quick recoveries.
Wow – thanks for opening my eyes to the amazing benefits of homeopathy – I can’t wait to learn more and start using these methods to help all of my family memebers.
How would you administer to a small animal. Just got a teeny tiny baby rabbit yesterday who is very nervous and thought it could do with sme rescue remedy a couple of times a day for the next couple of days. How would I give it to it?
The drops with a dropper into its mouth?
The pellets or drops can be placed in the animal’s drinking water. If need be, give the water with a dropper.
I wish I had known about homeopathy for pets at the beginning of my dog’s life, rather than at the end. However, I’m glad that I finally did because it made his end of life a bit easier and more peaceful.
I was wondering if anyone knows of remadies that could be used for incontinance. Our female dobie has been on poalin(sp) for incontinance since before we got her. We were told her incontinance was due to her spaying.
Thank you in advance
