Description
Summary:Separation anxiety (S. A.) in dogs is a behavioural disease. and is characterised as a pet's exaggerated fear of separation from its owner(s). Homeopathy can contribute to the treatment of these disorders. We choose two homeopathic methods of approaching animals: A) The specific characteristics are taken, considering the factors that influence the idiosyncrasy of the dog. B) The symptoms manifested by special modalities are recorded and analysed only according to the homoeopathic repertory. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. With the help of the homeopathic case history and the study of each cited remedy, we can analyse the dog's behaviour that will allow us to understand their idiosyncrasy and the problematic picture that is presented, so we can prescribe the simillimum.
