Discovering Alternative Holistic Healing For Animals

By Carol Fox


When family pets are injured or ill, it can often be a heart wrenching experience. Whereas, taking the animal to a veterinarian can often be expensive. As such, a number of veterinarian and animal clinics are now practicing holistic healing for animals.

In one case, a cat had been paralyzed and would not try to move. In searching for assistance, the cat's owners discovered Dr. Valerie Trudel's osteopathy and acupuncture clinic. Upon arriving to the clinic, the cat appeared to be in pain. As such, the busy holistic veterinarian provided an emergency appointment and worked with the cat.

Upon pleading with Dr. Trudel to try anything and everything possible, even knowing there were no guarantees as to the outcome. Knowing it would be a difficult and possibly long journey, the owners agreed to move forward with an holistic healing option. After which, Dr. Trudel provided the cat with an acupuncture treatment.

Since the issue seemed to be one related to movement, Dr. Trudel decided to provide the cat with an acupuncture treatment. Upon leaving the clinic, the cat was laying on his stomach, though upon returning home, the owners noticed he was laying on his side. As such, with a glimmer of hope, the owners took the cat inside and kept a close watch on the animal for a full 24 hours.

After two weeks of at home care, the owners returned to the clinic for a follow up visit. Much to Dr. Trudel's amazement, the cat was walking normally. While a shock to the veterinarian and owners, especially considering the cat was completely paralyzed on the first visit, there have been many similar stories in the animal world. For, there are a number of pet owners, handlers and trainers whom have turned to alternative forms of healing due to not only to the success but also because these treatments can often be far less expensive in the long run.

Like Dr. Trudel, there are many veterinarians now turning to these alternative practices. For, when traditional medications and surgeries are either unsuccessful or not an option, it can often be beneficial to try alternative solutions. Whereas, even if euthanasia becomes necessary, at least the owners know that all options have been examined and researched before having to make such a difficult decision.

In many cases, pet owners have discovered that traditional medications can often be harsh on the digestive systems of animals. Whereas, in other cases, the medications are just not strong enough to provide the necessary treatment to heal the animal. Since most pet owners consider pets to be family members, this is often hard on the owners as well. As such, many are now turning to alternative and holistic veterinary services so that the animals can remain as calm and comfortable even when not feeling well.

Traditional veterinarians have made a number of advances in the past few years when it comes to caring for ill or injured pets. In addition, these individuals can often be essential to the well being of animals. However, so too can holistic forms for animal care like those provided by Dr. Trudel. For, if an animal can be healed through acupuncture, osteopathy and natural medications for everything from anxiety to cancer, most can live much happier, healthier and longer lives.
