For Dr. Pitcairn's Referral List -- to find a Homeopathic Veterinarian:
"Our own referral list from Animal Natural Health Center is of our most active students. Those listed have been selected by Dr. Pitcairn. All have been trained by him in our year long Professional Course in Veterinary Homeopathy, a classically-based, tested approach to homeopathy. In addition, some of the veterinarians on our list have either attended our 78-hour Advanced Course and/or have achieved AVH certification (which involves coursework, case approval and examination and requires adherence to a classical approach to homeopathy). A number of veterinarians on our list also consult regularly with Dr. Pitcairn in a supervisory capacity. Many, but not all, are members of the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy (see below). Many will consult with clients by phone, usually in coordination with your local veterinarian for backup. However, you may very well find that someone on the list is in driving distance, which is usually your best choice. To see the ANHC list, click here: Animal Natural Health Center Referrals."
Complementary & Alternative Veterinary Medicine
There are several directories with listings by state of veterinarians who specialize in various healing modalities. As with any organization, some professionals are better than others. It's always good to get a recommendation from satisfied clients. Trust your feelings and if in doubt, get a second opinion.
The American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture
"The American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture (AAVA) is a not-for-profit organization, formed in 1998 in response to the re-structuring of the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS). In 1974 a group of forward-thinking veterinarians founded IVAS. Over the years IVAS has grown to become a truly international organization, and the AAVA was formed to meet the specific needs of American veterinary acupuncturists. The AAVA is an affiliate organization, and is fully recognized by IVAS."

Many years ago I'd read of an informal study conducted
indicating that 'water scenes' promote healing --
hospitalized patients who had any type of 'water scene'
hanging on the wall got better faster than those who had any other 'scene'.
"Looking Glass Falls is one of the most photographed and
often visited waterfalls in the Pisgah National Forest --
the mountains of Western North Carolina. It is about 60 feet high."

Food not Fit for a Pet by Dr. Wendell O. Belfield DVM
A Story Ignored for Six Years
"The rendering plant floor is piled high with "raw product." Thousands of dead dogs and cats; heads and hooves from cattle, sheep, pigs and horses; whole skunks; rats and raccoons -- all waiting to be processed. In the 90-degree heat, the piles of dead animals seem to have a life of their own as millions of maggots swarm over the carcasses.... " Excerpted from "The Dark Side of Recycling" from the fall 1990 issue of Earth Island Journal.
A Look Inside a Rendering Plant by GS "Rendering has been called "the silent industry." Each year in the US, 286 rendering plants quietly dispose of more than 12.5 million tons of dead animals, fat and meat wastes. As the public relations watchdog newsletter PR Watch observes, renderers "are thankful that most people remain blissfully unaware of their existence."

Emergency Management: Choking: The Heimlich Maneuver
by Diana Scorpio DVM and Mico Nelson
"Dogs in general are notorious for swallowing just about anything that will fit in their mouths. Some items may become lodged in the throat, blocking the airway, which may cause the animal to suffocate. In most cases, a dog will cope with choking by reflexively throwing up. Usually, this is sufficient to clear the airway."
"Many dogs will gag or choke or rawhide bone that they have managed to chew off a piece from. These can usually be pulled from the back of the mouth when you see them gagging."

Also, tests for the vaccine antibody titers for parvo, distemper, and rabies are available. Other tests such as Lyme are also available. Just add on a heartworm test for a nominal cost.

This is a MUST - SEE Web Site!
"The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in the practice of veterinary acupuncture as an integral part of the total veterinary health care delivery system. The Society endeavors to establish uniformly high standards of veterinary acupuncture through its educational programs and accreditation examination. IVAS seeks to integrate veterinary acupuncture and the practice of western veterinary science, while also noting that the science of veterinary acupuncture does not overlook allied health systems, such as homeopathy, herbology, nutrition, chiropractic, kinesiology, etc."
"It does not matter whether medicine is old or new, so long as it brings about a cure. It matters not whether theories be eastern or western, so long as they prove to be True."

Juliette of the Herbs Video
This very well-done film documents the the fascinating life and remarkable work of Juliette de Baďracli Levy, world renowned herbalist, author, breeder of Afghan hounds, friend of the Gypsies, and traveler in search of herbal wisdom for more than 60 years. Juliette intended to be an English veterinarian, but withdrew because she wanted to utilize natural healing modalities. She is the pioneer of Holistic Veterinary Medicine and an inspiration to all. Many have read Juliette's classic book, "The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat", first published in 1955. She's in her 'autumn years' now. By her extraordinary example, she reminds us to love and respect the plants and the animals. This 75 minute color video lifted my heart and made me grateful for all that Juliette has done to help the animals (and their humans). Thanks to Tish Streeten, who spent seven years on the project and all those who made this excellent documentary video possible. It's received many awards, and was featured in the PBS specials.

This site has an enormous amount of helpful information which could prove very useful if one's companion should be missing, or even kidnapped/stolen. Following the suggestions for immediate actions to take can make all the difference, and the many experiences of animals finding their way to their humans are very encouraging.
(AND OTHER SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE WITH MISSING PETS)
"One of the most important things you can do while your pet is missing is keep your spirits up and your faith going. Don't give up hope, ever. There have been many, many pets that were found long after it began to seem impossible that they would be recovered. Yours could be another one. This page is a collection of links to stories of recoveries of pets that were missing, sometimes stolen. I hope it helps give you the hope that your missing pet needs for you to have to keep up the search until you are reunited".
