Hom. treatment of rodents is often possible, for example diarrhoea, respiratory infections, etc.

sorry but if my rats get sick it's off to the vets for tried and tested methods to get them well as quickly as possible, and that goes for any of the other pets as well. I don't stint on my kids health and won't on my pets either.

Orthodox/Conventional medicine is not always best (just think of all the (possible) side effects of each medicine). Homeopathy is not always best either, because it can cure a lot, but not everything. That`s why these therapies should work hand in hand to obtain the best results. A huge amount of animals are cured each year by homeopathic professionals and homeopathic vets ! Please read the following post I wrote some time time ago on another forum I used to post on :

Important Note ! - otherhealth.com

sorry but i still dont agree.

I know a chap that is now incredibly ill due to taking hom medications instead of seeing his gp.

i have a duty of car to my animals and that means seeing my vet, a person who has studied for many years and practised for even longer

Hiya

I understand that concerned pet owners are willing to try the unorthodox when trying to help a much loved pet, however I would stongly advise you not to purchase homeopathic 'remedies' and especially do not use these instead of conventional, and scientifically verified medicine. Homeopathic remedies are created by diluting a 'curative substance' with water (1 part in 100), then diluting this diluted solution, then diluting that diluted solution................ again and again. The 'curative substance' in most most homeopathic remedies represents one part in a trillion or weaker and therefore cannot have any actually effect on the animal or person taking the remedy. Such remedies are no more than a placebo, they are not going to cause any physical harm but they won't help either.
Treat your rodent with respect, keep its house clean, let it run around, give it a complete diet and if it still becomes ill, take it to the vet!

I hope this helps!

Homeopathic remedies are to be used along side visits to vets, There are also vets that practice Homeopathy.

I use homeopathic remedies on my rodents and have been studying for past couple of years, although they would still go to the vets as well.

I dont understand why you have posted this thread tho?

What are you doing?
What is the point of it?
What point are you trying to get across?

Ie when my rats started sneezing i gave them garlic and kept lavender in my room. Garlic helps fight off infections and aids recovery while the lavender was soothing ( for both me and the rats haha )

The sneezing soon stopped and saved me a massive vets bill.


I have a decent book here and was going to type a few things out of it onto here just havent got round it yet.

Another example of the use of homeopathic rememdies.

When i worked at a stray kennels the amoutn of dogs coming and going with kennel cough was horrendos and because the owner wouldnt buy any form of treatment for the dogs. Me and another kennel assistant bought a kennel cough remedy from a homeopathic remedy website " Cough Bomb" i think it waas called using this and honey in their water soon kept the numbers down and by studying what was in the bottle we soon was able to create our own so then we werent spending as much money and the best part of it was that it was all organic stuff that we used.

I just think that the subject of homeopathy is an interesting one; some people belive it works and other don't and it's always good for people to be able to look at both sides of a debate so they can form their own opinions.

I have used homeopathic remedies on my rats for sprained feet, but for a respitatory infection or anything else severe it's straight off to the vets.
