Similia is the Australian Journal of Homeopathic Medicine, and they published 3 brief summaries of animals I treated. This issue was focused on animal remedies for both people and animals, so I chose cases using Apis (bee) and Sepia (cuttlefish ink). Another articles used Elaps Corallinus (snake).

the following is a great article that Tricia asked to be shared with everyone as she is passionate about helping critters get along. I also recommend reading Anitra Frazier's book, The Natural Cat, as she goes into great detail for new cats. I do disagree with Tricia on one thing - it is fine for [...]
