Homeopathy for cat with IBD?

MissFoodie · 30/01/2014 11:40

Does anyone have any experience with this at all?
After a year of trying everything I am desperate.....! Nothing seems to work, so am thinking of trying homeopathy, so any recommendations/specialists please?
Many thanks

I've no experience but surely homeopathy has been proved to be just useless 'woo' hasn't it?

I'm very sorry about your cat but I can't believe that homeopathy is the way to go (for either people or animals, but at least with people you can get the benefit of the placebo effect, with animals you won't even get that).

I know, but at this point, do we have anything to lose???

Well I'm guessing you have money to lose.

What does your vet say?

MissFoodie · 30/01/2014 15:50

he is insured, they've paid out for everything so far (£3K.....!)

What have you tried so far? Have you been to a specialist feline centre?

MissFoodie · 30/01/2014 17:01

steroids, antibiotics, probiotic paste, he has had endless pooh tests, blood tests, scan, endoscopy, special food (most of which he wont eat), vet is specialised in feline medicine, has also consulted feline specialists.....

You really have tried everything. No I have not heard of homeopathy helping.

my dog had terrible allergies, think no fur on feet or stomach, years of steroids, experts nothing worked. homeopathic vet sorted it - might be 'woo' but surley animals don't do the placebo affect.

i would give it a go, and im the biggest cynic going

"i would give it a go, and im the biggest cynic going"

No, you're not!

donttellmetokeepcalm · 30/01/2014 23:59

ok fair point - i was..........

donttellmetokeepcalm · 31/01/2014 00:00

could all have been coincidence, that it clears up with the woo stuff, i dont care though coz the dog is fine

Sometimes the best thing is to do homeopathy nothing.

Have you tried a raw diet? Bengal cat forum has a lot of experienced raw feeders BUT its not as simple as just chopping up some raw chicken you have to make sure they are getting enough Taurine because without it they can get heart problems & die.

You can get frozen raw feeds.
