Abstract

Title of Presentation: Homeopathic and Nutritional Approaches for Hospice Care

Quality of life for animals and their guardians can be greatly enhanced with integrative approaches. Homeopathic remedies are easy to administer and can treat the various conditions seen in hospice patients gently and deeply. They act so deeply, in fact, that sometimes animals totally recover and live many more years.

In this presentation, the history, principles, production and administration of homeopathic remedies will be covered. Uses of remedies in hospice care will also be illustrated along with many case histories. Participants will leave with a few remedies to use in the actual death stages and resources to help them learn more in order to treat in curative and supportive ways.

Many different approaches are available to feed animals who are very ill or dying. Using fresh, local sustainable ingredients may provide the best nutrition to support perceived end-of-life times. The key is to discover what animals will eat, what they love to eat, and what nourishes them as well as knowing when to let them fast.
