Description
For a veterinarian attempting to make the transition from the orthodox paradigm to homeopathy there are many challenges. These include: looking anew at the concepts of 'health' and 'disease'; trying to assess mental and emotional symptoms in a patient who cannot speak our language; dealing with the emotional reactions of those who do not share the same knowledge or experience. The first part of the book is devoted to examining the fundamental concepts which together provide a foundation for veterinary homeopathic practice, and how they may be understood from a modern perspective. This is followed by an investigation into some of the most common remedy states encountered in practice, with guidance on how to recognise them in an animal patient; not only by how they present outwardly, but also by accessing those elements of the patient that would otherwise be considered as hidden. Finally the author investigates the personal experience of practising veterinary homeopathy.

Person
Peter Gregory qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1972. For the first 12 years of his career he worked in mixed practice, first in UK, and subsequently in Australia. During this time he gradually became dissatisfied with the results of conventional medicine. Seeking an alternative, he returned to UK, and was introduced to homeopathy; having tried it out in practice, he resolved to learn more. He gained Veterinary Membership of the Faculty of Homeopathy in 1991 and was awarded Fellowship in 2004. He now works, on referral, for the Holistic Veterinary Medicine Centre in Sussex. He is a partner in the Homeopathic Professionals Teaching Group and has lectured extensively overseas. Peter is a past President of the British Association of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons and currently President of the International Association for Veterinary Homeopathy. He is coauthor of 'Textbook of Veterinary Homeopathy' and has contributed to several other publications.
