PLEASE NOTE:
I am able to offer telephone/Skype consultations. Please email me on nickthompson@holisticvet.co.uk with a brief outline of the problem and your phone number and I will get back to you ASAP.If you are outside the UK, then telemedicine consultations are possible. Please email the practice on: nickthompson@holisticvet.co.uk. If you have a sick animal, or even think you MAY have a sick animal, now is the time to act. I see too many cases where animals are presented too late.
Please, please – the earlier you contact the appropriate therapist/clinician, the better are the chances of regaining full health.
Thank you.
WSAVA Guidelines
In 2010 the World Small Animal Veterinary Association published the ‘Guidelines for the Vaccination of Dogs and Cats’. The document promotes Titre Testing and states that the core vaccines last ‘for three years, if not longer’, which allows vets to legitimately reduce the number of vaccines given to cats and dogs, something that homeopathic vets have been calling for for decades.
