Holistic medicine means treating the whole animal, not just symptoms.  Symptoms can mean different things, and if we simply stop the symptoms, we are not treating the underlying issues.  For example, diarrhea may be caused from an infection, parasites, food reaction, vaccine reaction, stress, cancer….  We can give medications to address the diarrhea, and it may clear up, but will always recur if we do not address the underlying causes.  By using the information we obtain from a history and physical exam, we will address all aspects of your pet’s health, including its nutritional and emotional needs.   Our treatment plans will address your pet’s needs with consideration for your beliefs, life style, and budget.
