Although chemotherapy is an option for canine lymphoma treatment, it is not the only treatment available today. If you are looking to avoid chemotherapy, check out the following options:
A Multi-Pronged Approach
Treating canine lymphoma through alternative methods requires a multi-pronged approach. Holistic medicine, naturopathy, and homeopathy are some of the options available. Acupuncture and herbal supplements can also provide benefits for canine lymphoma treatment.
Alternative Medicines
Some of the alternative techniques that have shown effectiveness in the treatment of canine lymphoma include chiropractic, acupuncture, and herbal medicine.
- Herbal Medicine-Most of our modern pharmaceutical drugs are actually synthesized from herbal compounds. When using herbal medicine, remember that it can have the same potential risks as pharmaceutical medicines.
- Holistic Therapy-Holistic therapy seeks to treat your dog as a whole animal, without restricting itself to a disease-centered focus. Holistic therapy will therefore involve changes in lifestyle and diet in addition to any supplements and medications.
- Acupuncture and Chiropractic-Acupuncture and chiropractic can be useful in the treatment of canine lymphoma because they raise immunity. Both therapies also help your dog's physical systems to function at the optimum level.
