Understanding Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine
Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine (CAVM) refers to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases or conditions that complement more traditional medical practices. CAVM encompasses a wide range of modalities, including nutraceuticals, herbal remedies, specialized diets, chiropractic and manipulative therapies, and acupuncture.
Blending Traditional and Holistic Approaches
Over the last several decades, both human and veterinary medicine have evolved to embrace a broader view of health and healing. One example is the use of Chinese herbal formulas to help manage nausea in chemotherapy patients—an approach once considered unconventional but now recognized for its benefits when integrated thoughtfully with modern medicine.
