How long does it take for Homeopathy to work? I get asked this often…and it is a very hard question to answer as every animal is different. The one thing I can tell you is in Acute situations where the problem has come on suddenly – it will also be helped quickly. If a chronic issue has been with your pet for a long time – months or years it can take a few months or longer to get them to fully heal or improve to the best of their capability (damage to an organ for example can be irreparable if bad enough). The beautiful part though is that changes do happen relatively quickly even in chronic cases but may not necessarily resolve completely due to the body needing time to heal at its own pace.

We never want to force the cat, dog or horse to heal faster than their bodies are capable otherwise the ‘healing’ will be short lived and won’t work well. The best way to help an ailing pet is to understand the layers of illness and how disease actually works. Rushing to get rid of annoying symptoms at all cost can have dire consequences. Having a doctor of any background and training whether traditional or otherwise hurry an animal through something is not good. Using drugs and some herbs to take away pain is only suppressing symptoms of illness and the problem just has no way of expressing itself – it isn’t gone.
To truly heal an animal of disease of any kind – one must be prepared for the long haul in some situations…some resolve very quickly but others may need much longer. If the animal is getting better – we need to give them as much time as they need to heal.
