naturalpet Holistic is Best


Natural Care for a Sick Pet by Dr. Shawn Messonnier


T


he best course of action for any pet that appears to be sick is to see a holistic vet early, before a disease can progress or before the pet has been made even more ill by im- proper conventional treatment.


Downsides of Conventional


Treatment Many sick pets brought to a holistic vet’s office may not have been formally diag- nosed, even if they’ve been receiv- ing medical treatment by a conven- tional doctor for weeks or months. In most cases, the standard


blanket prescriptions of antibiotics and corticosteroids—regardless of the cause of illness—have failed to produce posi- tive results. Worse, such drugs carry side effects that can make the pet even


sicker; indiscriminate use of antibiot- ics, for example, has led to antibiotic resistance in bacteria, making it harder to treat serious infections when anti- biotics are the only viable treatment option.


So by the time the holistic doctor sees them, the condition of these pets may have worsened. The good news is that with precise diagnosis of the underlying issues, most sickly pets can be treated with good success. Because a holistic approach to healthcare relies on individual factors, the exact treat- ment will vary according to the patient and situation. A cookie-cutter treat- ment will not be very helpful.


Holistic Nutrition


Therapy Helps Owners can take several steps to pro- vide relief for a suffering pet right away while awaiting the results of proper diagnostic tests. In my practice, three vet-super- vised nutri- tion therapies have been shown to be effective in stabilizing a sick pet for the 24 to 48 hours
