Help Your Pet at Home, 29 Jun 2009
By Tika Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Manual of Natural Veterinary Medicine: Science and Tradition (Paperback)
Written by two holistic vets, the Manual covers different treatment options for an impressive number of illnesses and health issues. You'll find diet, supplements, Western herbs, Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and sometimes essential oils. There's even an "Author's Choice" section for each illness, so that if you're wondering which of various options to choose, both the vets list their recommendations.
The book is beautifully organized, fitting a tremendous amount of material into a small format. Chapters include muscular/skeletal disorders; dermatological disorders; infectious diseases; immunologic disorders; endocrinologic disorders, etc. The illnesses are laid out alphabetically, with easy-to-see treatment options. Sidebars describe case reports with excellent Discussion, Treatment and Outcome sections.
At first I wondered whether the book would be too technical for me. But as I read along, I was really impressed by the non-technical language, the thoroughness of the symptoms and treatments, and the book's excellent organization. Only the Chinese herbs sections are not accessible if you don't know traditional Chinese medicine, and this problem is addressed in an appendix with explanations of the uses and western names of the Chinese herbs.
Other appendices are helpful, too: "suggested oral dosages for herbs"; "suppliers" of herbs for easy ordering, and even a chart with acupuncture points. (If you know acupressure, you can use these points without needles.) For anyone doing chemo for cancer dogs, you'll get help here in figuring out a supportive herbal and supplement protocol. A fantastic book!

Good Starter Text, 9 Jan 2007
By Free Spirit "carol" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Manual of Natural Veterinary Medicine: Science and Tradition (Paperback)
Alternative Veterinary medicine is a field to which I have not had much exposure. This book covers many topics in a survey manner with just enough detail. I would reccomend it as a starter text.

Good job, 16 Aug 2005
By Dr. Shawn Messonnier "The Natural Vet" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Manual of Natural Veterinary Medicine: Science and Tradition (Paperback)
This is a wonderful text on complementary medical therapies for pets. A superb introduction to herbal medicine and understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine. I highly recommend it and as a fellow holistic veterinarian and author (8 Weeks to a Healthy Dog, The Allergy Solution for Dogs, and the award-winning The Natural Health Bible for Dogs & Cats,) I found the information quite useful.
