This is a book that will certainly find a place in the market. -- John Saxton, Homeopathy Today

Review
"The cases in this book show homeopathy in action on a level everyone can relate to, and the demonstration of how what is observed is turned into the means of remedy selection is particularly useful. This is a book that will certainly find a place in the market."
(John Saxton, Homeopathy Today )

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" for anyone who cares for animals!, July 19, 2002

By	Dee Walter (Halifax, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Homeopathic First Aid for Animals: Tales and Techniques from a Country Practitioner, by by Kaetheryn Walker is probably the first book I reach for when a medical crisis arises. While this is not the book one needs to search for consitutional remedies, it is a must for those sudden acute conditions that pop up unexpectedly. As the manager of a small feline sanctuary where I care for over 40 cats, I recommend this book highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have pets, this book is a must!, December 16, 2003

By	Dee Walter (Halifax, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My second favorite reference book when it comes to the homeopathic treatment of cats, and my number one choice when it comes to acute health situations. The conditions are in alphabetical order, so you can find the information you need in a hurry. This book is quite simple to use, especially if you have little or no background in homeopathy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Quaint, but not what I was looking for, January 9, 2007

By	Karena Thurston (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was trying to find a desk reference or "materia medica" of sorts for using homeopathy with animals. I have been brought up on homeopathic care for myself above going to doctors for colds, allergies and the like so now that I have a cat I am beginning to question typical veterinary practice, especially since my cat was prescribed amoxicillin for an upper respiratory cold and it was even flavored orange - you can imagine trying to give that to an animal that would prefer fish over citrus.

This book had some cute illustrations but was more of a story-book that I would have really had to read through all of than a quick, practical reference that I could turn to in recognising and treating symptoms.
