Natural healing for dogs - Susanne Bnisch

This is a guide to natural healing which shows how to treat dogs' illnesses with natural methods as an extension to the allopathic methods veterinarians use. The book provides simple instructions on a wide range of homoeopathic treatments, such as artificially created magnetic fields, medicinal leeches, mobilization therapy, Bach-flower therapy, compresses and poultices, herbal therapy, oxygen therapy and acupuncture.;Many medications and health foods work as well with animals as with people, and this book shows how to use common salves, tinctures, skin lotions and emetics, as well as herbs, teas and garlic. The treatments are arranged according to a dog's life cycle, from its needs as a puppy, such as a healthy nursery, normal weight gain and personality development, to late-stage geriatric care which can extend the life and comfort of a dog. Several case histories describe common treatments like weight problems, nose and throat inflammation, diseases characteristic of males and females, castration and spaying, aggressiveness towards other dogs in the house, and nutrition.;A companion volume for cats is also available.
