It works best when the disease has not progressed too far. Homeopathy has the advantage of usually causing fewer side effects than conventional medications.

SAFE Pet Adoption - Pet of the Month
"Feb Pet of the Month-Lexy"
Many times, when we recognize a pet of the month, we are, in fact, recognizing an owner who has shown an unusual level of commitment to their pet. I have always said that dogs and cats do not walk into the clinic alone. It takes a caring owner for them to receive the care they need.
This month I would like to recognize Lexi and her owners. Lexi is a thirteen year old Pomeranian who was diagnosed with diabetes awhile back. Lexi did not respond to insulin at all, and it was discovered that she had another hormonal disorder called Cushings disease. This makes it almost impossible to regulate a diabetic on insulin. Not giving up, the owners treated the Cushings, Lexi regulated well on insulin, and all was fine for awhile.
Lexi got very ill one weekend, however, and it was discovered that she was anemic, had a severe reproductive infection, a urinary tract infection, bladder stones and kidney stones. At her age, few owners would have been willing to invest a lot in her care, but her owners were not deterred. Lexi had emergency surgery to spay her and remove the bladder stones. She was treated with antibiotics, hospitalized on IV fluids, and ultimately received a blood transfusion. Being a tough little dog, she gradually rebounded, and was sent home where she continues to do well.
Lexi is a nice little dog whom we all enjoy. Her opportunity at life, however, is the result of a great deal of love and care on the part of her owners. My hat goes off to them all.
