Homeopathic veterinary medicine
Proper and enlightened attention to the wants of Domestic Animals, is
not only a sentiment of humanity, but a dictate of economy. To know at
least in good part what is the particular ailment of an animal, and to
know also how to relieve it, would seem to be a necessary obligation of
ownership. The least we can return to the many faithful animals given
us, is to provide for their reasonable wants, not only in health, but
also in sickness and disease. Not that every man who owns a horse,
should be necessarily a veterinary surgeon; and yet the way is so simple
that any intelligent person may readily cure a very large proportion,
nay, almost every disease to which his animals are exposed, and yet
bestow upon the subject only a moiety of attention.
Among the many blessings that Homeopathy has conferred upon the world,
not among the least is the immense improvement which it has effected in
the treatment of the diseases of Domestic Animals. With but little
variation, to meet their peculiar habits and susceptibilities, the same
remedies which have been so efficient in mitigating and curing the
disease of men, women and children, have been found equally successful
in arresting the diseases to which all classes of Domestic Animals are
liable. The contrast is even greater. Probably from the fact that
treatment of sick animals has been but little understood, and intrusted
to the hands mainly of ignorant persons, who have pursued the most
crude, cruel and destructive measures, often far more dangerous and
life-destroying than the disease itself, a large proportion of the sick
have died or been tortured to death. But when the same diseases are
subjected to the mild and benign influence of intelligent Homeopathic
treatment, it is found that almost every disease among them is within
control, even the most fatal yielding to its magic influences.
Although at first sight it may seem strange, that animals should be
successfully treated by the mild and apparently insignificant doses of
Homeopathy, yet a moment’s reflection will suffice to give many reasons
why this should be so. Even were it not susceptible of explanation,
experience has abundantly demonstrated the fact, that animals are, if
possible, even more susceptible to Homeopathic treatment than men, and
its success in their case is even more striking and brilliant.
This may be, perhaps, attributed to their more regular habits,
confinement to the same food and drink, absence of excitement, and
freedom from the many articles of food and drink in use among the human
species, which are more or less medicinal.
