What Do I Need to Know As a Client of Dr. Jeff Feinman?

Holistic Pet Care advice articles by Dr Jeff:

Insights into the latest practice in holistic and homeopathic veterinary care for my current clients

As a Certified Veterinary Homeopath, all my current clients come to me for one thing; the highest quality homeopathic veterinary care and advice. Inevitably, I find many clients ask the same questions and share similar concerns, mainly due to a lack of understanding of the healing process. As a result, some don’t have the confidence to persevere with homeopathic treatments, even when they are working well!

So, I’ve written a series of articles that provide all my clients (both pet owners and veterinary medical professional) with a straightforward guide to homeopathic veterinary treatments, and particularly the significance of symptoms.

Symptoms can be considered the “language” of the body, as they provide the main clues for understanding how the body is operating in both health and dis-ease. It is critical that you as the client and me as your homeopathic veterinarian join together to both foster and work through symptoms, and that involves each understanding what the other is saying! So, these articles are specifically to make that process easier and quicker, for the better health of your pet.

Which Symptoms Should I Monitor After Giving The Homeopathic Remedy?

 

To help me efficiently evaluate the prescription your pet has received, please monitor the following symptoms. Any or all of them may apply to your pet. Please keep all of the details in your journal, and send me a short update 24 hours before our appointment.

This list of potential symptoms was requested by some clients to help them keep track of their pet’s progress. There are other practice handouts to explain the updating process in more detail.

Please always list % improvement, worsening or no change of these symptoms in your update. In some cases (like itching) it is also helpful to quantitate the symptom on a 1 to 10 scale. 1 being normal. 10 being excessive. For example. If your pet is constantly itching to the point of bleeding and unable to sleep, play, or enjoy any of life’s normal activities, this would be a 10/10 itch level. A normal (occasional) itch level would be 1/10.
