“My search for alternative methods and responses began with acupuncture and then led me to eastern and western herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, chiropractic and other healing modalities. I soon realized that there was not a single magical bullet, but many options that, when joining together, could help many more animals to live longer, happier and without pain ’(Schoen). He explains all the different treatments he has found and talks about how each one has helped him in his career as a veterinarian and tells stories about pets that he has helped as a result of these different treatments.
The author says in his chapter ‘If animals feel pain", "If animals feel pain, don’t you feel pleasure? If animals feel pleasure, they can’t feel love? If they have the same neurochemicals that induce emotions in humans, they may share the same capacity for all emotions ’(Schoen). In this book, the author explores any research that has been to demonstrate that animals have feelings and emotions. In my opinion this book should be read by anyone who seeks to better understand animals, by anyone who wishes to have and better understand the connections between an owner and a pet.
conclusion
Also for anyone looking for excellence in their veterinary medicine studies, since this book allows people to realize that medicine have no limits, that you can always find new methods and medications, healthier and more effective. But to find them and put them in use, one as a doctor has to go beyond what is taught in a class. And always keeping in mind that, in the end, what is sought is to give animals a better life and therefore to humanity.
