Hello all ~ I always like to involve a vet, or a doctor in my patients' care. It struck me earlier that a lot of vets are just coming into knowledge about herbs. Here are a few references you can give them in the order of my preference: Tilford, Mary Wulff. Herbs for Pets. Ca: Bow-Tie Press, 1999. (Mary was on the Homeopathy list with me. She took years to do this beautiful book. I use it as a general herb/pet guide.) Puotinen, C. J. The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care. Ct: Keats, 1997. Pitcarin, Richard H. Natural Health for Dogs & Cats. Pa: Rodale Press, 1995. Online resource site: (This is a teaching site about alternative medicine. The owner is a shamin, and if you can get past the astrology and numerology etc, to herbs, I have a lot of articles on there. Dr. Eileen Nauman, (the owner) is a Board Certified Homeopath, who has published 'Poisons that Heal," and also does research in Flower Essences). www.medicinegarden.com. (to see a pic of me go to 'faculty') I mention these books and sites only to those who may be seriously considering using herbs. Please do not do so, unless you are under the guidance of a natural health practitioner. We are working on a site/list to make practitioners available in all 50 states.
