Holistic veterinary medicine treats the whole patient including all
physical and behavioral signs. The root cause of disease is treated at
the same time as accompanying clinical signs. Herbal and nutritional
supplements can help support tissue healing and proper organ
functioning, thereby reducing the tendency of disease progression over
time. Proper selection of homeopathic remedies is based on detailed
evaluation of clinical signs. Herbal medicines are selected based on
organ(s) affected and the physiologic nature of the imbalance. Many
herbal and nutraceutical companies provide support for veterinarians,
assisting with proper formula selection, dosing, drug interactions, and
contraindications.
