One alumnus writes: Thank you for sponsoring the series of holistic pet care workshops last winter. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much from it; it changed the way I take care of my cats, and changed my life.  I'm grateful there are caring people like you out there making a difference.  Thanks again.

Intermediate Homeopathic Animal Care

Instructor: Christina Chambreau, DVM

Prerequisite: Introduction to Homeopathic Animal Care or consent of instructor.

Description: This course provides an overview of treating chronic disease in animals. You will learn: how to take a case and evaluate the symptoms; how to use the repertory and "translate" it for use with animals; how to analyze the case and use the materia medica to select the best remedy; how to choose the correct potency; and, most important, how to evaluate an animal's response to treatment. You will also get plenty of practice working on cases provided by the instructor and by fellow classmates. (This course will include a review of the basic principles.)

 Case Studies in Animal Homeopathy

Instructor: Christina Chambreau, DVM

Prerequisite: Intermediate Homeopathic Animal Care, Dr. Richard Pitcairn's year-long course, or other comprehensive training.

Description:This interactive course is for those who already use the repertory and have been prescribing for animals at the chronic disease level for at least a few months. Even experienced prescribers can benefit from analyzing cases and tapping into the expertise of fellow prescribers. Bring cases for which you are not getting the results you desire. Maybe you are confused about the response to the remedy, the remedy selection itself, or deciding when to represcribe. Together, we will deepen our ability to treat animals homeopathically. You may wish to repeat this course because the content is different each year.

Take your choice: either take the two-day Part I on the weekend, the three-day Part II on Monday through Wednesday, or take both to get five full days of case studies.
