Welcome
YOU CAN ENTER THIS FORUM HERE.
This is the place to ask a veterinarian the questions you have always wanted to ask. What is different here is that these veterinarians are all interested in holistic medicine.
What Does This Mean?
Holistic refers to the perspective of looking at the animal as a whole being rather than different organs and tissues. We consider all the circumstances of this individual's life, not just the physical condition but also the emotional state, the food eaten, the family circumstances.
All the veterinarians here, besides their various backgrounds, have taken the year-long training in veterinary homeopathy that is given by Animal Natural Health Education Programs, the principal instructor Dr. Richard Pitcairn. Therefore the primary treatment method that will be referred to is the use of homeopathic medicine.
You are welcome to read the postings and announcements that are here and many of the questions may be of interest to you. The most value to you personally will be if you register as a user of this forum so you can post questions of your own. There is no charge for registering. This is a free service though donations are appreciated and encouraging to those that take time to respond.
Please understand that the answers provided will have to be general in nature – giving general guidance in health care, nutrition, and treatment. To be more specific requires a careful evaluation of the individual animal and to do that is beyond the reach of this forum. To have your animal treated by one of these veterinarians with more specific guidance each step of the way, see this next section below.
Specific Guidance & And Individual Care For Your Animal
It is an option to work directly with one of the veterinarians here. If you are interested in this then email the veterinarian privately to ask if he or she has the time and willingness to take this on. Schedules vary as you might anticipate.
Here is a picture showing you where you click to send a private email. You will do this while in the window of a posting from the veterinarian.
If this arrangement is mutually agreeable then the continued communications will be off-forum, directly between you and the veterinarian.

Instructions on using this forum
When you enter the forum you will see a listing of the veterinarians available to consult with. Choose one of them to ask. It may help you to read the short biography of them or you may find perusing any postings to them helpful in learning more about their perspective. If possible, there is also an indication of the special experience they have (like working with wild animals or with behavior problems). See the picture below as to how to select the veterinarian you want to address.
Once you have clicked on the person's name, then the next window opens where you can view the postings already there. You might find some of them of interest to you or perhaps they will have asked a similar question. By reading the veterinarian's answers you can also get some idea of their perspective and likely response to you. See in this next picture how you can click on one of the postings to read it.
The other thing you can do on this screen is post a question of your own. You click the button for a "New Topic". You have to be logged in (and registered) to be able to do postings.
When you click on the button for "New Topic" another window opens where you can put in your message. See this next picture for indications where to enter your question topic and the question itself.
If you want to get fancy, you can also format your text as italic or bold, quote some text from a prior message or post or add in a web site link. See the next picture for use of these choices.
The last thing you may do is to check off the choice to have yourself emailed when there is a reply. See the next picture for where to do that.
That's about it. Not really difficult. We hope this is really helpful to you.
