Homeopathy involves the use of extremely diluted substance to heal the body through the release of vital energy. The rule in homeopathy is that “like treats like” so a thorough history, examination and laboratory testing are needed to properly choose the correct remedy. There are a number of remedies that can be tried in allergic dogs. Usually remedies of high potency are prescribed. the following remedies may prove helpful : sulphur, arsen alb, rhustox and hepar sulph. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, doctors can help stimulate the dogs immune system and reduce itching and inflammation associated with allergic dermatitis. The first case treated with acupuncture was a dog with atopic dermatitis that had failed to respond to other complementary therapies. the dog, a boxer responded after three treatments and was maintained over a year with treatment every three weeks before developing another problem which required additional treatments.
