Abstract
Unconventional therapies are medicines based on a holistic
approach to the veterinarian-pet-owner relationship. They can be
complementary or alternative. Although they do not meet the principles
of Western medicine, they have
been used as treatment or for prevention for a long time. Initial
assessments, based on basic data, indicate that three of these therapies
(herbal medicine, acupuncture
and osteopathy) work to some degree. Each of these therapies has
advantages and limitations but can be used for certain applications in
daily practice. They are promising therapies for future use in practice.
