Diabetes in Animals
1.  Diabetes in Cats and Dogs - from Pet Remedy.com - "Lower your cat or dog's blood sugar, safely and effectively
with absolutely NO SIDE EFFECTS !"
2.  PRINCIPAL NATURAL TREATMENTS(from A Natural Approach to Diabetes for Pets by Dr. Shawn Messonnier DVM)
Treatments for pets with diabetes include: natural diet/high-fiber diet/high-protein/low carb, exercise, glandular therapy, chromium, and vanadium.

Natural Diet  
Dietary therapy is useful in both dogs and cats with diabetes. Most diabetic dogs require insulin as they have type I diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes). Many cats may not require insulin, as they have type II diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). These cats are most likely to respond to therapies that may include dietary therapy, nutritional supplementation, and exercise.  Feeding a LOW-carb diet seems to help cats with diabetes according to a cat care book; sometimes even helps avoid the use of insulin! Find out more about what's actually in the food you feed your pets to help them stay healthy. The Raw food diet seems to work wonders too!

3.  An interesting website with articles and links for Diabetes in Cats can be found here - http://www.felinediabetes.com/newdiag.htm     and on the links page - http://www.felinediabetes.com/faq.htm

Kidney disease involves any insult to the kidneys. If the insult continues, the kidneys can experience failure. Kidney failure can be divided into either acute kidney failure or chronic kidney failure.

2.  I can recommend the "Natural Pet Cures" by John Heinerman - see below to order from Amazon. Lots of good, basic facts.

Animal Diets and the Foods that keep them Healthy
1. It All Starts With Food by Dr. Martin Goldstein - ARTICLE - "...boost your pet's health profoundly by making one simple decision. All you have to do is to change his diet from unhealthy, commercial-brand fare to something you may never have imagined giving him: real food!"
"... AAFCO's guidelines are misleading us when they suggest that standard pet food can fill a pet's dietary needs, but also its fundamental premise is wrong."  Continue his first article with lots of good facts on serving RAW FOOD to your pets- good ideas on how to make the changes. Book
2.  See the list of books on this subject HERE

3. For Olney residents - try the new BARK store in the shopping center with Roots Market on Georgia Ave for healthy pet foods.

The Vaccination Issue in Animals
1.  Homeopathic Alternative to Vaccines by Dr. Martin Goldstein - ARTICLE -"...consider the homeopathic alternative to vaccines, called "nosodes." Like vaccines, nosodes contain an infinitesimal bit of the disease against which the host is to be immunized. The differences are subtle but profound." 
2.  Vaccines - Another Article by Dr. Goldstein about Vaccines - which pets to vaccinate or NOT; when to vaccinate, dangers and some important warnings for young pets and senior pets! 2 pages of very important info if you want your pets to have a long life!
3.  Herbs may be used as a replacement for drugs -- Article by Mary and Gregory Tilford

  
Healing Remedies and Related Topics
1.  Feeding Herbs to Pets by Mary and Gregory Tilford - ARTICLE -Many more links on right side of article. 

2. Help for Pets with Arthritis by Mary and Gregory Tilford - ARTICLE - "Nutrition is the crux of any of the holistic healing modalities and is the most important factor in the prevention of arthritis. Many times changing to a raw-food diet helps the animal and obviates more drastic measures."  " ....Circulatory tonics such as yarrow, hawthorn, rosemary and ginkgo are worth considering for internal use. They provide a gentle increase of blood flow in tissues surrounding arthritic joints, so muscles remain oxygenated and more flexible."

3.  Healing Pets Naturally from iVillage - Links to many articles on lots of subjects for Pet health problems. LINKS

4.  This site offers Pet Questions answered online -- HELP HERE.

5.  Natural Pet Cures - a book by Dr. John Heinerman (not a Vet) covers every facet of dog and cat care for the concerned pet enthusiast. In addition to expert tips on solving common behaviour pet problems and keeping them in shape, there are safe to prepare, natural remedies for conditions such as arthritis, burns, constipation, and ear mites. The bestselling author of Nature's Super 7 Medicines and Heinerman's Encyclopedia of Healing Juices returns with the ultimate guide to holistic health care for pets.
People naturally want the best treatment for their pets, and "natural" and "best" is what they'll find in this user-friendly reference to alternative remedies for dogs and cats. Contains expert treatments for over 100 common health problems, plus commonsense tips on resolving common behavior issues and keeping pets in shape. Easy-to-prepare remedies.

6. This site has many links on the subject of using Homeopathy for animals --works similar to how these remedies work in humans so
please take a look.  The ROOTS MARKET carries several Homeopathic remedies -very cheap and totally safe.
