He focused on homeopathy and homotoxicology for animals. </p> <p><em>“While they are not opposed to using conventional medications when necessary, it was exciting to see that they were open-minded enough to appreciate the limitations of conventional medicine and be willing to use natural therapies that can offer deeper healing for their patients. Additionally, I’m excited to see that the veterinary school is starting to respond to their demands and may soon offer an elective course (which I hope to team teach) for students interested in learning about integrative medicine….I’m amazed at just how much proof is really in the literature, and equally amazed as skeptics continue to deny that such proof exists.”</em> said Messonnier.</p> <p><strong><em><a href="http://www.basilandspice.com/living-green/42010-vet-schools-open-to-integrative-medicine.html" target="_blank">Read the full article at basilandspice.com</a></em></strong></p> </article> <article> <h1>Animal Chiropractic, a doggy tail</h1> <p>Bush Dr. — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 01:21:00 GMT</p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;mso-bidi-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;">My friend has the most gorgeous blonde Labrador called Robby (he’s my Lab’s half brother so I might be biased!)</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;mso-bidi-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;">He is such a friendly and happy chap, his tail wags his whole body. Which is why we could tell something was immediately wrong when he came to greet me and his wag wasn’t working properly. He was in obvious discomfort and his usual smile was more of a grimace. </span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;mso-bidi-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;">It turns out that he’d been swimming in the river with his family and friends, and his owner, a little boy, had been practising life saving with him. Apparently he had held onto Robby’s tail, while Robby had swum and towed him. </span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;mso-bidi-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;">I wouldn’t recommend that you use your dog’s tail to hold on to unless it is an emergency, but hindsight as they say, is a wonderful thing </span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;mso-bidi-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;">Anyway, I had a feel of Robby’s muscles and joints. He was obviously in discomfort when I palpated around his pelvis and tail and pretty reluctant to let me adjust it, but I did and there was some improvement. </span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;mso-fareast-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;mso-bidi-font-family:'Times New Roman';mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">A couple of days later it was less sore, but he was still not wagging in his usual way. So I re-adjusted his tail and he improved again. The next morning he was back to his full bodied wag – a happy ending to this doggy tail </span></span></p> <p> </p> </article> <article> <h1>The Secret to Dog Potty Training in One Easy Step</h1> <p>Admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 06:40:21 GMT</p> <p>One of the biggest problems people have with the dog potty training of indoor puppies is thinking too much about what it means to them (ie the mess to be cleared up) and not enough about where the puppy is coming from.</p> <p> </p> <p>Learn more about <a href="http://directory.naturallycomplementary.com/article/the-secret-to-dog-potty-training-in-one-easy-step.html">dog potty training</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>The Most Efficient Home Remedies for Killing Fleas</h1> <p>Admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 06:13:19 GMT</p> <p>There are various home remedies for killing fleas, some good, some bad, some indifferent.
