Nancy,

I would find a homeopathic vet either locally or long-distance (many offer
phone consultations) to get to the root of these situations. You have a
right to feel concerned because the drugs being prescribed will only deal
with symptoms and not the root cause. That is why almost always once a drug
is prescribed, the animal is on it forever (just like people). To me this is
not healing, just management of symptoms. And I would agree with you that
the side effects of a drug can cause other health problems and that usually
more drugs are prescribed to then address the new sypmtoms caused by the
side effects. This then leads to extreme confusion in the body and a further
compromise of health.

These organizations can help you locate a homeopathic veterinary
practitioner in your area.
