I Have A Confession....

[Penel]

A homeopathic vet is a fully qualified conventional vet before they do extra training to be a homeopathic vet........... not sure what you mean about it not working for the big things !!!  ok homeopathy can't magically sew back on an injured limb - but for Lola it has definitely made a huge difference with her "setter" skin problems.  I personally have had some tremendous results with homeopathy, I guess its another thing that until you have seen success yourself you are bound to be sceptical.

I'm not recommending people feed a diet of factory farmed chicken bones    I think you are slightly exaggerating Shona     My dogs eat organic chicken carcasses, organic lamb ribs and various bones, organic pork bones - and tripe, mainly.  Lots of variety, apart from Lola who is allergic to everything apart from the pork and tripe.
They also eat tinned pilchards, sardines, and healthy left overs.

That's my point - your dogs I'm sure don't eat unorganic, but not everyone has that availability, and aren't feeding organic, in which case I wonder how much difference it makes.

My comment about homeopathy means I think in combination with medicinal products, yes, I think it can have a small effect, but it's very different clearing up a skin allrgy to treating a dog with cancer, and the stakes are much higher, I think you'll find a lot of people like the idea- but when it comes to the crunch, will happily take the conventional treatment. I'm one of those people - I keep arnica in the house, had a home birth drug free - but had there been a problm, I would have been straight off to hospital.
