Terry, with all due respect, why do you think that the homeopathic remedies
do not have the side effects that *chemical* or prescrition drugs have?
There is no proof of this that I'm aware of.  Drugs are drugs, homeopathic
or otherwise.  You can get just as sick and have short/long term side
effects from *H* drugs as from RX drugs.  The fact that homeopathics are not
tested as rigidly does and does not have the same testing structure (FDA)
does not make them immune from creating/causing other problems and/or side
effects.  No matter what you decide to take or to give to your dog, you
should be sure that there are no contraindications and/or reasons why you
might want to take a homeopathic remedy.
