Who can treat animals?

Very interesting ... thanks for posting, Magno. May I suggest that the other links in the left side bar also be followed.

I was looking to see what was said there about Reiki, and found nothing, so are we to assume that Reiki would come under the umbrella of Faith Healing? This is mentioned in the The Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 1962 page.

Here's a link to the earlier thread [url]"Quick question- reiki and horse and vets?"[/url]

which contained some useful discussion about insurance as well.

There is a lady in Wales called Holly and she and her horse, Texas, treat other animals 🙂

Sorry, you mean her horse is a healer too? Now that's pretty cool 🙂

RE: Who can treat animals?

Apparently, yes he is. 🙂 He helps her communicate with other animals.

(There is a loophole around this that I picked up as an acupuncture student.
The client sells you their animal.
The animal is now yours and you can give it whatever treatment you need to.
You then sell it back again after the treatment, perhaps for £30 more than you bought it for!)

Ssshh!

RE: Who can treat animals?

I also know of a horse that 'heals' yes it is cool isn't it!

RE: Who can treat animals?

Having channelled Reiki to horses and taught others to do the same for some years, I have looked at this issue previously. Insurance is available and as Reiki is ' non invasive' and not manipulative it can be given. But to be on the safe side I normally get information from the owne,ask that they get their Vets' agreement and they sign a disclaimer.

RE: Who can treat animals?

Very interesting subject. My cat was hit by a car when he was much younger and lost 2 inches from one leg. I think the vet had pretty much decided he was never going to fully recover, and he said that one of his collegues had asked him to ask me if I'd be willing to let the cat have accupuncture. Of course I said yes, but my cat is a fighter and by the next visit he was starting to mend so he never had the treatment. Mind you, that accident, plus his years of adventuring since, have left him with arthritis. I give him Reiki for that every now and then, and he loves it, but he let's me know when he's had enough...

I saw this advert in the Psychic Voice Newspaper, they are also online It may be of interest to anyone interested in healing animals. They do spiritual healing, kinesiology, crystal courses etc. too. Animal healing course.

EDIT: Details of the course, including contact details, can be found on the website.

RE: Who can treat animals?

Hi,
My friend and colleague teaches pet reflexology, which I have done on my cat after he fell ill with a virus, to great effect! Even I was stunned at how effective it is, despite being a reflexologist (on humans!). They deserve to be looked after and heal just as much as we do, maybe more so!!

Please PM or email me for further information.

Here's a link to the website of The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeonswhich is very specific as to who can treat animals:

RE: Who can treat animals?

Well people I think I am about to learn a little bit more about this. I am a Reiki Practitioner. I have just been called by Thomson Local Directory to ask if I wanted to go under Complimentary Therapy and on some type of whim I said no put me under Veternary Practitioners.

Got a feeling that Vets are not going to like this and now I see that there are legal implications.So no doubt I will receive a few calls bringing this to my attention. The lucky news is that I am a legal secretary and I am sure my bosses will stick up for me.

I am not professing to be a Vet and it will be at the owner's discretion - I will have them sign a disclaimer - but how could a vet turn round and say 'oh no you don't want to be doing that'.

With my animals I used to pay out extortionate payments for little result.

Well trust me to be the one to throw myself in at the deep end - I will keep you posted.

love

RE: Who can treat animals?

Perhaps for your own sake it might be a good idea to seek legal advice from your bosses BEFORE your ad appears. Depending on their answer you may then be able to withdraw or move the ad to avoid getting yourself into possible legal hot water.

The category in my Thomson directory is "Veterinary Surgeons & Practitioners". Perhaps an ad in Complementary Therapies that mentions you offer Reiki to animals might be more legally sound, but I'm only guessing.

RE: Who can treat animals?

Hear you load and clear Holistic.

It's not that I would worry about any legal battles - what is the worse they can do - and who would take the action - but it is not worth the hassle or arguements with vets that it could cause.

I will attempt to contact Thompson Local and hopefully will be in time for a swap over to complimentary therapies.

Thank you.

RE: Who can treat animals?

Well, I didn't intend to be loud, and I certainly wasn't clear ... just raising a query and voicing a concern, that's all 🙂

You may well find yourself working WITH the vets in your local area, and I wish you success with the venture.

RE: Who can treat animals?

Hi
this is a tricky area isn't it - much more complicated that treating humans! there are an increasing number of courses around now that cover the legislation as well as the therapy. I'm sure the FHT cover some and I've seen some with Teach Therapy. Hope this helps

RE: Who can treat animals?

Very interesting and helpful information thanks x

RE: Who can treat animals?

Hi,

I've been treating animals with Reiki for the last 10 years and been teaching it for the last 5. It does come under faith healing. You do need veterinary permission to treat. The law is currently being re-written. Althought vets never acknowledge it's the Reiki that has made a difference, it's more than their professional reputation is worth to do that, they are often privately very surprised at the unexpected reactions when Reiki is used.

I always get the client to ask the vet. In practice if the client asks the vet doesn't refuse, whether or not he thinks they are wasting their money.I also ask them to sign a declaration stating the law, telling the their legal responsibilities andI state quite catgorically thatI am not a vet.

You are mis-representing yourself by putting yourself under veterinary practitioner and possibly laying yourself open to prosecution. We are working very hard to gain credabilty and the trust with the vets. What little inroads we make is all too easily swept away. In some ways we have to be more professional than them.

Totally agree with Sheharizaade. I too am a reiki master and help animals through reiki My vet has a laugh about it and is a pretty sceptical chap, but he knows I always refer my animal clients to him before i even think about treating them if they are sick,so he gains clients too. This can avoid a lot of possible future problems. My vet although sceptical will recommend me to his clients to help animals who are being put to sleep,recovering from illness and ops or dying,not because he believes in reiki but because he believes it helps the owners through this difficult time. As long as you make it clear to the vet and the clients you are not a replacement for veterinary care you are a complement to the vets treatment there is no reason why vets and reiki practioners can't work in harmony. I would also like to help animals with aromatherapy too. But that's the future. Good luck to me :Dlol.

Equine Therapist

Hi,

I am an equine therapist and use Equine Iridology, Equine Bowen Therapy and herbs to promote healing. I use them in isolation or together depending on the clients wishes although I am using equine iridology more and more as a way of assessing the horse's health as it is so gentle on the horse and non invasive yet so accurate.

I work with vets, chiros and physios as well as being fully insured and with first aid etc as i think this is so important.

It is amazing and thoroughly rewarding when you have helped an animal

Magnotherapy for animals

I treat animals (horses, dogs,cats) using magnotherapy products which i distribute. They have proven extremely effective over the years and can treat a wide range of conditions.

All the best

magnotherapy

Hi

I treat animals (horses,dogs and cats) using magnotherapy products. They are very good at alleviating a broad range of conditions - if dogs could talk, they would recommend them i'm sure 🙂

Anyway, good luck to all.

Alternatives for pets

I have along with 29,000 other people who started with pet health 20 years ago have found Alternatives a great help with pet care.
Lots of larger dogs like Alsations get back leg and hip joint problems in later life, and we have been helping dogs with the same product that we give humans with joint problems, and have had 70% success rates, and as long as the owner ask's you to help, and as long as the products is known not to harm you should be okay in helping.
If however your not trained as we are to treat anyone or any animal then it is best left well alone.
The main danger is if you have to mix a product yourself (ie make it) that we would never do, because it could react with another product the animal has from a vet.
In that case very good insurance policy is needed, and maybe a good pair of heels to run quick too.

Interesting discussion - I've done massage/aromatherapy for my sister's horse (vets instruction to massage major contusion - our choice to support with aromatherapy which horse responded to really well, even down to choosing her own oils!) Am currently consulting a vet who is also a qualified homeopath: bit early yet to see results on cat with breast cancer) but comes with good recommendations. So, Tapintohealth, you may find that the vets in your area are more receptive to CAM than you think if you approach them. good luck.
