Consultation remedies

When you are prescribed a remedy after a consultation it is important that you follow the instructions given by the homeopath. Please contact Peticare if the condition persists or your animal needs further treatment.

 

Giving the remedy​

Peticare remedies are usually given to animals orally in a glycerin liquid base from a dropper bottle, they are absorbed by the mucous membranes in the mouth. Remedies are best given directly into the animals mouth or onto the gums but can be put onto food if you are having trouble with that or in the water bowl if it is only used by the animals needing the remedy.

​

Give the remedy a tap on your hand before using it to energize it.

​

With homeopathy it doesn't matter how much you give of the remedy each time, its how often you give it that matters. Using a whole dropper full is that same as using 3-5 drops. I usually recommend just filling the dropper enough to be able to squirt some on the gums without touching the animals mouth.

​

If you are putting the remedy into water. Just add about 5 drops daily and make sure there is another bowl with plain water available. The animals will often self medicate. If the condition needs to be addressed urgently it is best to make sure the animal is getting the remedy when required directly on the gums or tongue.

​

If your animal doesn't like being touched around the mouth it can be useful to dose when they are resting.

 

Cats will often happily lick a few drops of the remedy off their paws if you drop it on there.

 

With dogs fill up about a 1/3rd of the dropper, lift up the dogs lip and squirt onto the gums or into mouth, this can be done while they are sleeping/resting if difficult while awake.

 

With horses fill up the dropper place it in the corner of the horses mouth and squirt in, if you have trouble you can try putting it on a piece of apple but directly into the mouth is best.

 

Cattle and sheep are best treated with larger amounts put into their water trough or you can spray the remedy into their mouth or onto their nose/muzzle area.

​

Chickens and birds are usually best treated via their water or you can put the remedy onto a piece of bread and feed it to them.

​

The remedies are designed to trigger the animals natural healing response, if the animal is no longer showing symptoms it is important to stop the remedy.
