Baa_Baa_Blacksheep asked:


I want to start my own private practice treating animals from mice to horses. I don’t, however, agree with traditional private practices that sell Science Diet and encourage annual vaccinations….and don’t use water therapy often enough. Yes I have it all planned out….just…how do I do it?
So basically I go to college and get my degree….then go look for an alternative medicine school? Where can I find those?

Best books for alternative veterinary medicine?

OrngTby asked:


Can anyone tell me what some of the best books on alternative (meaning holistic, homeopathic, organic, etc.) veterinary medicine are? I’m looking for books that cover natural feeding, use of supplements, and alternatives to conventional medicine in companion animals.

I know there are a lot of informational sources out there, but I wanted to know what you would recommend. Websites, journals, magazines, articles, and books all welcome.

Just tell me what you recommend and why!
