I use holistic medicine for my pets. It's worked for me so far. My vet is a holsitic vet. However I wouldn't trust using only holistic or homeopathic remedies for something serious. I think that it's GREAT to add into a conventional care method, but by itself it isn't as effective and can take too long. But until something serious does happen, I am perfectly happy with my holistic preventative care. Visa is healthy as can be and I imagine that eating raw during pregnancy with no exposure to chemicals will provide her puppies with the health they need to survive.
