Homeopathy for Animals

REMEDY ADMINISTRATION

A small amount of any of the dosage forms (different pellet sizes or alcoholic dilutions) should be placed in the mouth. The quantity does not matter, as there are no molecules if the potency is above 12c. Even below 12c, the dilution is great enough to not worry about toxicity.

My preference is to pour 5 to 20 of the #10 granules in a folded piece of paper, or syringe cap, and pour into the front of the animal’s mouth to dissolve on the tongue and gums. If some comes out it does not matter. Remedies are energy based, so the effects are regardless of quantity. Size of the animal does not matter a shrew and a rhino need the same amount "some" dissolved in the mouth.

The larger sizes need to be crushed before pouring into the front of the mouth. I recommend cutting off the corner of an old envelope (for recycling purposes), crushing and then pouring into the mouth.
Some prefer to give liquid (20% or 40% alcohol) doses. Again, the quantity does not matter – a few drops to several dropperfuls will do.

Remedies can be given in water and milk (the pellets are milk sugar). If you are giving a remedy and waiting 1 month to re-evaluate the chronic condition, it is best to give carefully. If you will be repeating several times a day, it can even be given in food. Many feral cats have been helped when remedies were given in their food.

Warning: Many homeopathic books give quantity, frequency and potency for the condition, the disease and the symptom, size of the animal or the remedy. This is incorrect. As stated before, the amount does not matter and the frequency is dictated by your evaluation. Because people expect to be told a quantity, it is fine to tell them a specific amount to give, but also educate them that it is not important.

EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT

There are three main responses to giving a homeopathic remedy, or any type of treatment. Nothing, of course, may happen.
Cure - The current symptoms, no matter how long they have been there, go away and stay away forever. The animal is healthy in most of the ways we measure health (see appendix for health signs). The animal's vital force is healthy enough to respond to viruses, etc and get sick occasionally.
Palliation - The symptoms go away too fast for the degree of pathology and the animal does not have an improvement of overall health.. Then they return, unchanged, or slightly worse. Treatments have to be continued or at least repeated at frequent intervals. Over time the animal becomes less healthy.
Suppression - The symptoms go away too fast for the degree of pathology, and the animal gets sick on a deeper lever (mentals, internal organs, and cancer).

If you realize you have palliation or suppression - find a better remedy, refer to an experienced homeopath, use a different holistic modality or switch to conventional treatment.
When treating minor and more acute problems, you want the current symptoms to resolve and the animal to feel better overall. You may not have enough information to assess cure, palliation or suppression.
