HOMOEOPATHY CAN BE EFFECTIVE IN ANIMALS

Animals respond equally well to homoeopathic medicines, just like humans. It is effective for large animals, small animals, and pets. Homoeopathy can be administered for various animal diseases, ranging from basic allergies to infections.

The medicines are given in small doses, typically in the form of tiny globules, powders, or liquids. They are either placed on the animal's tongue or administered in water. Homoeopathic medicines are known for having no side effects, being easy to administer, and animals often readily accept them.

Homoeopathy involves no administration of large doses, no crude methods, or harsh medications. The homoeopathic remedies given do not interfere with any allopathic medicines the animal may be taking, such as analgesics, vitamins, physical therapy, or antibiotics.

These remedies can also help counteract the adverse effects of conventional medications, vaccines, and radiotherapy. Remedies like Thuja, Silicea, or various nosodes can help address these issues.

Personal Experience with Homoeopathy in Pets

I personally use homoeopathic medications for my dog. In animals, we may not get a complete history as we do with humans, but we can still prescribe remedies based on the symptoms they exhibit. My dog was suffering from anorexia (lack of desire to eat), severe skin itching, anxiety around people, and palpitations felt upon examination. After repertorization and analysis, I prescribed Alumina 200, to be taken four times a day for three days.

Within a week, my dog showed almost 70% improvement. His itching was completely reduced, his appetite improved, and his reactions to people became more normal. Even now, whenever he has skin issues, I treat him with homoeopathic medications based on his symptoms, and he responds positively.

Methods of Administering Homoeopathic Medicines to Animals

• Medicated powder or pills placed directly on the animal's tongue.
• Mother tincture can be used for large cattle, where 20 drops are mixed in their drinking water.

The frequency of administration depends on the severity of the condition. In very acute or severe cases, it may be repeated as often as every 15 minutes. In less severe cases, it can be given every 2 hours. For chronic conditions, it is typically administered twice daily.

Conclusion

Homoeopathy has a very good scope in the treatment of animals and can be effectively used to manage various health conditions with minimal side effects.
