About Dr. Christina Chambreau
Expertise
I can give you the holistic approach to any problem in any species. Depending on the condition and the type of animal, I will be able to give very specific treatment suggestions such as what flower essences, homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements, diet changes, lifestyle changes or herbs that may be helpful. I can also suggest where you can go for further education or to find a specialist in a specific holistic field. I can help you understand why your animal is ill and what improvements can be expected. I do not check messages more than every one to two days, so PLEASE DO NOT ask about EMERGENCIES - call your local veterinarian. I cannot diagnose your animal. I cannot prescribe specific treatments. I am no longer very current with conventional treatments, so cannot answer questions on those. I am not an expert on birds or small critters. I will give you helpful connections about hose species.

Experience
I graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1980 and began using homeopathy in my practice after a client introduced me to it. By 1988 I was using exclusively holistic treatments. I began lecturing in 1987 and have spoken at veterinary conferences, health food stores, people's homes, churches, veterinary college conferences - anywhere people want to learn more about keeping their animals healthy.

Organizations
Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy (I helped found this one) American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association National Center for Homeopathy American Veterinary Medical Association

Publications
I have written in many magazines, journals and newspapers. A few include Bark Magazine; Journal of the AHVMA; Baltimore Dog Magazine; Whole Dog Journal; Tiger Tribe; Wolf Clan. I have also been frequently interveiwed on radio and TV.

Education/Credentials
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) Certified Veterinary Homeopath (CVH)

Ask the Veterinarian - I THINK MY MOUSE IS DIEING!!!!!


Expert: Dr. Christina Chambreau - 7/2/2009

Question
My mouse Ethel may be dieing. She won't eat or drink and her fur is weird but it feels fine. She just sits in one spot breathing really hard and she lets me pet her. when I used to try to pet her she would bite me or run away.

PS: She has a little yellow bump on her tail.

Answer
The yellow spot may be an abscess. The only way to save your mouse, if she has not already died, is to go to a veterinarian.

You can get Rescue Remedy from the Health Food store if she is still alive. It decreases stress, so may have her not bite you. Rub one drop on her fur.

If she has died, I am sure you took great care of her and loved her a lot and she lives on, in a way, because you are a different person for having loved her.
