After much deliberation I have decided to try homeopathy on Basil again. After months of hearing he would always be chronic, would have to be nebulized for the rest of his life, and one day would most likely become untreatable, I felt I had very little choice.
The surprise was, after talking to the new vet, and going over Basils' history, he was placed again on Lachesis. The same remedy he was on when he crashed the last time. This time however, he is on a really low dose. Every week we evaluate him, and decide on the next step. So far he has done really well, and is making slow, but sure, improvement. Which I am really happy with. I don't want to rush him at all, I want him to heal at a pace that is good for him, and avoid any kind aggrivation if possible.
Overall I am very happy with the new vet, I feet very comfortable with him, and am comfortable with his treatment plan for Basil. My last veterinary homeopath was fine, I just didn't feel as comfortable with her. Plus, I was put off by the fact she didn't want to discuss diet or heartworm prevention with me.
Dr. Falconer has a really great site which you can take a look at
here. I will post updates as Basil makes progress, for now at least he seems on his way to true health!
