    The what’s and why’s of the holistic approach

    Holistic Veterinary Medicine does not differ much from the human version of the approach. It is likewise concerned with the whole picture, rather than a mere part of it.

    The holistic type of veterinary views the pet’s totality. It is not just concerned with diagnosing and treatment of a particular disease. It covers every aspect of the pet’s life, and utilizes both the holistic and conventional methods in administering the treatment.

    The holistic veterinary considers the wholeness of the pet’s existence. It takes into account the pet’s environment, the pet and owner relationship, and the disease pattern. From there, the holistic veterinarian is then able to come up with a suitable treatment plan utilizing a broad selection of therapies for the patient.

    Genetics, family relationships, stress factors, nutrition, and hygiene, are the things that the holistic veterinary approach have to deal with. It does not mean to set aside or to ignore the conventional ways of treatment such as surgery and drugs. In fact, there are situations wherein surgery and other medical procedures have to be done together with the alternative methods so that an effective treatment may be achieved. Treatment of a particular disease is not the only purpose of the various holistic methods. The hidden causes of such disease have to be determined and addresses to, so that a better level of health is within reach.
