Homotoxicology

[ChristineL]

Hi @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff,

In searching for a wholistic/holistic veterinarian in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I found a clinic that offers homotoxicology - a patented combination of homeopathy and herbs? Just curious, what are your thoughts on this modality?

Natural and Holistic Pet Care in Plano, TX - Paws & Claws Animal Hospital

We look at the Whole Patient using our Holistic Integrative approach and work with you to put together the best plan of action.

Thanks,

Generally palliative. These are combination remedies prescribed for specific organ problems.
I would not think of it as homeopathy, merely a different approach using homeopathic preparations.

Yep. What she's saying is this approach will not address the particular presentation of this - or ANY - animal. It fails to take advantage of the power of homeopathy to speak to the individual's needs. Get yourself an experienced homeopath, feed a fresh raw diet, encourage happiness, and you will be doing SO much more....

Christine, we discussed this practice before you moved. I thought they were too far to be your local vet.

They may be open-minded, and if you end up going there be wary of homotox. as Christina and Ginny said.

Thank you, Dr. Christina and Ginny!

Thank you, Dr. Jeff,

Yes, I recall us discussing this practice before my move. Now that I am more familiar with this area and after further searching for a holistic/integrative vet practioner in the area, this practice is one that's closest to where I live.

I am not planning on bringing Penelope there....but I want to be prepared (at least have a place in mind) in case we bring home new rescues for checkups and such.

And thanks to y'all, it's a big "no" for me re homotox...I thought it's interesting though and it's patented?!
