HOMEOPATHIC VETERINARIAN
Dr. Charles Loops, DVM
Dr. Charles Loops, DVM offers homeopathic consultations over the phone to clients all over the country. I have contacted Dr. Loops specifically to offer the Rabies Vaccine detox homeopathic remedy Lyssin to Blackbird clients that do not currently see a holistic veterinarian. Lyssin must be dispensed by a homeopathic doctor. Blackbird's Bowl advocates the 3 year Rabies vaccine ONLY with homeopathic remedy Lyssin given immediatly following the vaccination. Please order your remedy several weeks (minimum) prior to your scheduled vaccine appointment and bring the remedy with you to your vets office so you can administer it to your companion following the vaccine.
Dr. Loop also provides more in depth homeopathic consultations for chronic and acute diseases. This vet practice specializes in cancer and behavioral issues.
