"In the beginning was the secret brain. The brain was celled and soldered in the thought Before the pitch was forking to a sun; Before the veins were shaking in their sieve, Blood shot and scattered to the winds of light The ribbed original of love." From In The Beginning by Dylan Thomas

The purpose of this forum is to help share information about natural care for our animals to promote and maintain well-being. Any information given is on the understanding that it is based on personal experience and is not to be regarded as a substitute for qualified veterinary advice.While we support the use of complimentary therapies, species appropriate management and diet and the use of appropriate natural remedies wherever possible, we encourage you to take an integrated approach to your animals health, build a good relationship with your local veterinary practise and always seek the advice of your vet if you are at all in doubt about the health of your animal. Under the 1966 veterinary Surgeons act only a qualified Veterinary Surgeon may diagnose, prescribe for or treat your animal although treatment may be delegated to the owner e.g. administering flea treatments, courses of anti-biotics etc. Owners may use complimentary therapies but it is their responsibility to inform their vet of this in case there is a conflict between this and prescribed veterinary treatment that could cause harm to the animal.If you wish to use complimentary therapies, please only do so after consulting an appropriately trained therapist who by law should always seek the permission of your vet first. The 2006 Animal Welfare act states clearly that it is the responsibility of the owner to make sure that the way they care for their animals will not lead to unnecessary pain and suffering and that failure to do so may lead to legal proceedings. Enjoy this forum and we hope you find it useful but remember...if in doubt, always talk to your Vet first!
