Pepper, The Coughing Dog: A Case Of Acute Vaccinosis? Pepper, a young shelter adopted dog, developed a terrible cough and respiratory symptoms. Possibly linked to neutering surgery coupled with multiple vaccinations, nonetheless homeopathy resuscitated his health and made his adoption a reality. This case is an excellent example of working with a common acute presentation and the process of working it step by step. (Ila Tewari, DVM)

Homeopathic Treatment of Acute Neurological Symptoms Following Routine Anesthesia in a Potbellied Pig
Homeopathic Treatment of Recovery Complications After Routine
Ovariohysterectomy in a Sow Case review ofa pot bellied pig and a farm pig both treated with homeopathy for post anesthesia complications. An older pot bellied pig, who suffered from extreme neglect, was anesthetized for hoof and tusk trimming and dental prophylaxis and suffered severe complications on recovery. With homeopathy he went on to make a full recuperation. The second case is a farm pig cross who was anesthetized for a routine ovariohysterectomy and suffered complications on recovery. She, also, with homeopathy made a full return to health.

Prescribing For the Allopathic Case Drawing on Kent’s advice in his article “The Undeveloped Case” which suggests remedies for the allopathically suppressed case, we will harvest his precious experience.
(Richard Pitcairn, DVM, PhD)
Wild Homeopathy At Work. Chirp! Though we don’t always realize this, homeopathy can be used for all animals, including wildlife. We will peruse a number of cases of sick or injured birds for guidance as to how to do this. One is a Goldfinch that hit a window, very hard, and surprisingly developed an unusual pattern in response. The next case was an entire flock of Pine siskins that began falling out of a tree. Once treatment was identified, the challenge was how to deliver it to the rest of the flock showing signs of illness sitting in the tree. (Sue Mowatt, DVM, MBA)
The Trend of Thought Necessary to Successfully Use the Materia Medica In the article by Kent “The Trend of Thought Necessary to the Application of the Homeopathic Materia Medica, or a Rational Use of Curative Agents,” Kent gives his unique understanding of how the human being relates to the Three Kingdoms of Nature.

A Woman’s Place is in the Revolution: The Role of Women in American Homeopathy The narrative of the turbulent history of homeopathy often centers on the biographies of great men, such as Samuel Hahnemann, James Tyler Kent, Constantine Hering, and George Jahr. Yet, in the late 1800’s homeopathic medicine was unique in the number of women entering its fold. Why did women risk the possibility of further sidelining by becoming part of an “irregular” medical system? Understanding the role of women choosing homeopathy, as a field of practice and as a modality of care, helps to elucidate an understanding of feminism, the role of patients in medicine, and the evolution of homeopathy in America.
(Laura Weis, DVM)
My Path Through Homeopathy – Challenges, Yet Great Lessons The transition into homeopathy has included challenging, rewarding, and sometimes painful lessons. I will share what I have learned in regard toco-managing cases with my allopathic veterinary medical colleagues, client communication/miscommunication, benefits of manual repertorizing, finding the personality of the remedy, unexpected findings within remedies through Materia Medica, and how ANHC annual meetings have benefited the work. The path into another paradigm of health care has been amazing but not easy and is a road best travelled with friends.
(Linda Dworak, DVM, PhD)
Pain-Free In Spite of an Ununited Anconeal Process Simon, a young dog, suffered disagreement with his anconeal process who would not unite with him until homeopathy stepped in achieved complete remission of symptoms, with no further lameness, since November 2018. This case taught me to put blinkers on, ignore conventional wisdom, and just work with the information presented by the patient. We will discuss traditional treatment as contrasted with homeopathy, success rates, and side effects of this developmental abnormality
(Wendy Jensen, DVM, CVH)
The Challenge of Patient Watching Some cases that have nothing but pathology presented to us can be solved if the disease condition is left without outside influences and allowed to develop our needed guidance. We look at a case of Kent’s in which this is well-demonstrated in a young girl.
(Richard Pitcairn, DVM, PhD)
