Recently I was asked to offer advice to one of the readers of AllAboutWorms.com whose dog was diagnosed with heartworm disease. The reader was looking for natural methods of healing vs. the usual, more aggressive, medication that is often used for heartworm treatment. Having worked as an emergency and critical veterinary technician, as well as having been in veterinary hospital management, I have had the privilege of working with many wonderful veterinarians that have practices both traditional medicine, and non-traditional medicine. I have seen healing through Chinese herbs, acupuncture, chiropractics, and other less conventional methods. I think that there are many wonderful types of alternative healing and have seen them work wonders. I have seen alternative healing be successful in areas where conventional medicine has not been successful. But, alternatively, I have seen many situations wherein conventional medicine was the much better option in certain circumstances. I integrate both methods in the health care of my animal companions, and have always found this a great option to be able to have the best of both worlds. My advice: find a veterinary hospital that practices both types of medicine, because then you can ensure that your animal companion’s treatment plan is one that offers them the best options possible.
