When Drugs Cause Harm, What to do if your dog's medication hurts more than heals.
by Shawn Messonier, D.V.M.
Unexpected Miracles, Hope and Holistic Healing for Pets
by Shawn Messonier, D.V.M.
Shawn Messonier, D.V.M., started practicing veterinery medicine in 1991 in Plano, Texas. His interest in Holistic healing has led him to write several books and create his own radio show called Dr. Shawn, the Natural Vet. He states: "I was forced to admit that there simply
had to be more than what I was already
doing for my patients. While I had been
trained to be a good diagnoser and treater of
disease, I had to face the fact that I was not a
good healer." Now he refers to himself as an "Integrative Doctor" and he presents ten years of case histories covering techniques including conventional medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicines and nutritional supplements.
Herbs for Health, Ancient Remedies find their place in modern medicine by
Narda G. Robinson, D.O., D.V.M., M.S.
Dr. Robinson presents a history of the use of holistic medicines. She states: "For thousands of years - long before drug
companies entered the scene - nature served
as the world's medicine chest. Today, despite
mainstream medicine's heavy emphasis on synthesized
compounds, a grassroots movement is pushing
botanicals to the front line. As research on these
products grows, health professionals can replace folkloric
recommendations with facts, leading to fewer
surprises and more predictable outcomes."

by Robert S. Goldstein, Paula Jo Broadfoot, Richard E. Palmquist, Karen Johnston, Jiu Jia Wen, Barbara Fougere, Margo Roman
Amazon.com describes this book as"Integrating complementary treatment options with traditional veterinary practice is a growing trend in veterinary medicine. Veterinarians and clients alike have an interest in expanding treatment options to include alternative approaches such as Western and Chinese Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture, Nano-Pharmacology, Homotoxicology, and Therapeutic Nutrition along with conventional medicine. Integrating Complementary Medicine into Veterinary Practice introduces and familiarizes veterinarians with the terminology and procedures of these complementary treatment modalities in a traditional clinical format that facilitates the easy integration of these methods into established veterinary practices."
