What are your thoughts on vaccination, routine parasitic control prophylaxis for my pet?

A face to face consultation with yourself and your pet is legally required for any veterinary advice. There is no one-size fits all approach and my recommendations must also suit your pet's health status/ ongoing medical conditions.

What natural alternatives do you offer for worming and flea control?

Please refer to my Holistic Pet Health range regarding natural flea/tick and intestinalworming control.

My pet has been diagnosed with cancer. Can you advise on what herbs I can use to combat cancer?

There are numerous beneficial herbs that work against cancer cells, mostly available via a search on the internet. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine helps guide us formulate a herbal recipe that will best address one's needs.Some patients have a stronger gut, which means they will be able to tolerate more potent herbs. Others may have a sensitive digestion, and so gut-strengthening herbs may need to be considered amongst the recipe. Unfortunately there are no protocol-type treatment regimes in holistic medicine.This means every patient has to be assessed as an individual, regardless of the origin of cancer.

I have sent you a message (or email) regarding questions about my pet's condition, are you able to tell me what it could be?

Any medical advice given over emails, without physically assessing your pet, is largely based on presumptions. Differences in our perspective will often lead to inaccurate and unhelpful outcomes.In order for us to arrive at the right diagnosis for your pet, a formal consultation is necessary.If I have seen your pet before and symptoms have changed, please arrange a follow-up visit.

My dog has just been diagnosed with IVDD (Interveterbrae Disc Disease), are you able to help?

Advanced imaging such as X-rays and/or CT/MRI scan will be helpful to rule in or out surgery as a viable option.If surgery is not an option, acupuncture is best instituted into the treatment regime as soon as possible. Generally, prognosis is best if acupuncture (+/- herbal therapy) is commenced within 24-36 hours from onset of symptoms.
