I asked the same question in my last post to the thread, My 12 year old chubby cat has suddenly lost her appetite, etc.
In the definition of what a holistic vet is,
Holistic medicine is an umbrella term that includes such therapies as: clinical nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, homotoxicology, functional medicine, herbal or botanical medicine, prolo therapy, vibrational or energy medicine, detoxification and more. Holistic medicine views the body as a whole and not as a bunch of isolated organs or organ systems. The holistic point of view is that no one system functions on its own . A disease which may on the surface appear to affect only one organ system actually affects all systems. Holistic medicine does not attempt to name or treat individual diseases but does attempt to identify and correct abnormal body functions which may underlie many diseases. Holistic medicine believes that the major underlying causes of dysfunction include: malnutrition, a leaky gut, an unbalanced immune system, an out of control inflammatory response, poor detoxification, a deficiency of antioxidants, a loss of cellular communication, excessive physical and psychological stress, spinal misalignment, neurotransmitter imbalance and poor hormonal control.
Leaky gut and an out of control inflammatory response describes Krissy to a T.
While I sit back with anxiety that I am not doing enough or know enough, she is living life everyday feeling like crap, and it's making me crazy.
There has GOT to be more I can be doing for her.
I've been searching for a good hour for a holistic vet in my area and getting nowhere, including the AHVMA site, which took me in circles basically.
There must be an easier way.....
Okay, I think I just found what I've been looking for!
