Alternative Medicine for Pets

Published by Linda under Your Pet

The Vet told me that Nakita had only 1 month to live. The tumor behind his eye was taking over and I was advised to put him to sleep. I did not listen.

Instead, I tried the following treatments all of which added some quality to his life and additional months, weeks and days for both of us to enjoy. The tumor got smaller, and came back. Got smaller and came back. And oh I was in total joy when it diminshed, and I pursued yet another natural remedy whenever it came back. The following items were most helpful in extending and enhancing the quality of Nakita’s life:

Poly MVA - a liquid nutrient that boosts the immune system and has been known to shrink tumors, (recommended by Terry Brockman, DVM – 615-356-6534) Poly MVA

Ambrotose - a powder made from the Aloe plant that boosts the immune system (manufactured by Mannatech)

Flower Essences – see the separate post on flower essences and how they can help with emotional healing.

Walnut (for transition),

Bleeding Heart (for letting go due to death)

Rescue Remedy (for calming the spirit)

Doxycycline - an antibiotic (recommended by my vet) that has been known to shrink tumors

Homeopathy - used by vetinarian Dr. Charles Loops (who has helped my animals tremendously over the years) http://www.charlesloopsdvm.com/ Dr. Loops works primarily on the phone with owners of animals who have cancer or behaviorial disorders. 919-542-0442

Despite all my efforts to save him, Nakita made is peaceful transition on January 7th, 2006. I will never be the same without him.
