Holistic Therapies for Pets in Sydney
The least toxic but most effective therapies for your dog or cat.
Holistic Veterinary care looks at the healing of body, emotions and mind of the animal.
A Holistic Consultation at Balmain Village Veterinary Clinic includes:
Complete physical examination
Assessment of diet and nutrition
Consideration of lifestyle
Assessment of mental and emotional background
And the appropriate range of diagnostic techniques
Causative factors are revealed and treatment may involve dietary and lifestyle adjustments, homeopathy, herbal medicine or nutritional supplementation.
The treatment improves and supports the body’s own healing process without the use of drugs with potentially harmful side effects.
In addition to conventional veterinary therapy, Dr Manuela Trueby and her team use Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Laser Therapy, Flower Essences, Reiki, Herbalism and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Mistletoe Therapy and Autologous Cancer Vaccinations.
Common health problems that may be treated with integrative veterinary therapies include:
- Allergies & Skin Conditions
- Anxiety & Emotional Problems
- Arthritis
- Intervertebral Disc Disease
- Digestive Disorders
- Immune System Disorders
- Cancer
- Failure to thrive in young animals
- Senior Pet Care
- Urinary Tract Infections and Renal Insufficiency
- Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
- Mental problems: aggression, anxiety, fear, hyperactivity, hypersexuality, spraying
- Travel Sickness
The use of integrative veterinary therapies does not mean the end of common-sense practices such as fluid therapy, nutritional therapy, surgical therapy, animal nursing and can be used in conjunction with conventional therapy.
All may have a place from time to time and the byword of the ethical physician, whether human or veterinary, must be open-mindedness.
