In this inspiring new book, Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing, Dr. Allen M. Schoen, a renowned and widely respected veterinarian, shares healing secrets he has learned from patients as diverse as a wounded hawk, a rabbit who showed him how love can conquer death, and a German shepherd brought back to life after going into cardiac arrest. Dr. Schoen's groundbreaking insights are the products not of one man's fancy but of his frustration with the limitations of conventional medicine. While other vets pronounce a death sentence on seemingly hopeless cases, Schoen has never been content just to "put the dog down, " or "ship the cow, " or "put the horse out of his misery." Instead, he has pushed beyond conventional medical wisdom to chart new courses of healing. And time and time again, he has discovered that the deep spiritual relationship that develops between him and his animal patients, between owners and their pets, and even between animals themselves is a vital part of the healing process.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Dr. Schoen shares his holistic view of animal healing in the form of instruction and example: loving tales of the animals and people he has known. If you loved All Creatures Great and Small, this book will take you one step further, from compassion to knowledge. A practical guide for living with and caring for our animal companions.
From Library Journal
Examples from Schoen's veterinary practice describe the value of bonding between owner and pet and between animals of different species (love), the usefulness of alternative methods of treatment (miracles), and the (healing) effects of compassion, gratitude, and companionship. Acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal remedies are described in detail, but the author frequently points out the importance of proper diagnosis and application of alternative treatments either by or at the direction of a veterinarian because of the possible need for concurrent antibiotic or other standard therapy and the dangers of using some herbal remedies at incorrect doses. Schoen's heartwarming bonding stories and his presentation of alternative methods of treatment in their proper perspectives makes this a good choice for pet collections.?A.

Not just for veterinarians...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing (Hardcover)
A mixture of tender stories and practical advice. I've read the book many times and with each reading, I'm always moved to try a little harder to communicate with my pets. Great book. Wish I had a vet like this.

BEST PET BOOK EVER!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing (Hardcover)
DR. SCHOEN IS AN INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUAL. IT WAS AMAZING TO READ MY OWN BELIEFS IN PRINT. THE FEELINGS I HAVE ABOUT ANIMALS AND THEIR ABILITIES ARE THE EXACT PRINCIPLES BY WHICH DR. SCHOEN PRACTICES. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY ANIMAL LOVER. I RECEIVED IT FOR CHRISTMAS AND FINISHED IT CHRISTMAS NIGHT. IT IS TRULY A TREASURE

5.0 out of 5 stars
A delightful and enlightening testimony of compassion.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing (Hardcover)
Dr. Schoen has once again succesfully captured the attention
of his readers with a warm yet informative account on
the veterinary experience. His years of medical expertise and
devotion to his field add to the composition of his book.
Flavored with plenty of heart-felt emotions, his tales of
his animal companions really remind Us, as humans, what
it is to care for another living creature. Dr. Schoen
effectively conveys his numerous veterinary experiences, and
even manages to shed some Western thought on the ancient,
Eastern art of acupuncture.
