Question
i hope you can offer me some help. my 2 year old neutered cat got out this morning. he has gotten out before,but we have moved .he is an indoor cat. and we live in an apartment complex of two hundred buildings and all the porches look the same,plus very heavily wooded area. what are my chances of him finding his way back to our door in unfamilar territory. putting up posters is useless because people move out of here all the time and leave theyre cats behind.plus he is not a people person kind of cat. please.need advice. thank you
Definitely put up posters as people may see him. Contact several animal intuitives who say they are good at helping guide you to your cat - www.pettalk.net is a referral list. Pray. Visualize golden threads coming from your heart to guide him home. Put some posters in your old neighborhood if you moved within the last month as he may go "home". Call every shelter and veterinary clinic in a 40 mile radius (he may have been picked up by a good samaritan, even though he is not friendly). There are web sites you can post to - google lost pet for the most current ones.
Good luck,
Dr. Chambreau

Expertise
I can give you the holistic approach to any problem in any species, though mostly I work with dogs and cats. 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 - not drugs. 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.
