DAY. HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF BEEF AND DAIRY CATTLE

Descripción

Can mastitis be cured without antibiotics? Can ringworm be cleared inexpensively? Is it true that New Forest Eye can be treated – and prevented – by a few drops of medicine in the drinking water through? Is it also true that homeopathic treatment is free of harmful side effects and leaves no residues in an animal’s body?

This book is a guide for the farmer and smallholder. It explains the thinking behind the homoeopathic treatment of disease and describes how it may be used on an everyday basis in the care of cattle, both as individual animals and in a group. One hundred and forty-one homoeopathic remedies of value in cattle are then briefly described, with reference to the particular symptoms and signs for which their use may be indicated. This is followed by a wide-ranging A-Z of disease syndromes, with pointers to the remedies which are likely to be effective in each situation.

The author emphasises that animal welfare is of overriding importance, and good nutrition and management provide a necessary framework for the use of homoeopathy no less than for any other therapy. He recognizes the importance of conventional veterinary medicine where the need for palliation is great, and does not discourage the reader from combining it with homoeopathic medicine if the wellbeing of an animal would be best served in this way. Throughout the book he highlights those circumstances where qualified veterinary help must always be sought.
