IAVH Newsletter (continued)
as ambassador for veterinary homeopathy and order the presentation along with flyers and a poster by the office to present IAVH. The pro- duction of an information brochure about homeopathy, how it works and how to handle the remedies, is in progress and will be avail- able via the office at the beginning of 2014.
One of the major tasks of IAVH is the worldwide support of veterinary homeopathy on various ways. To give motivated homeopaths from countries with poor economy the chance to be active part of IAVH we decided to initiate an “IAVH Development Fund”. With this structure the IAVH is able to support countries with no or poorly developed structures regarding veteri- nary homeopathy in terms of Education and the
Bob is incontinent
Bob is a proud, skinny, beautiful male Malinois/Boxer mix with guts! He was born in a shelter four years ago from an unknown father, who was present only during the necessary time to create Bob and his three brothers.
When he was three months old, I saw him for the first time. He was naughty, but at the same time fearful and cautious. He showed great respect to the leader of the group.
Asnobodywantedhim,Itookhimhomeandwesleptinthesamebedfor a week and I took care of him. He was very obedient, learned quickly but lacked concentration, when something was repeated too often for his taste.
He became a strong adult, having to face difficulties because of his pride. Indeed he was walking through the streets like a king, which made many other dogs nervous. So he was attacked and bitten twice, without ever hurting anybody himself. I decided to castrate him, so other dogs would not take the challenge seriously anymore. Of course I knew that his char- acter would not change through castration and this was good, because he wasn’t the confrontational one.
And so it was, after the castration, he was still marching with his tail high but was never attacked anymore, because as soon as the provoked dogs approached, they smelled his bluff and let him be!
So everything was fine until Bob started to pee in his bed after about a year. In the morning I was finding big wet stains. He had become incon- tinent. So of course we go through all the examinations to see if there is some somatic cause. But no, everything was good, so probably the cas- tration changed the balance of the pression and some urine runs out.
As I don’t want to medicate such a young fellow, I decide to repertorize him.

build-up of a national association.
Countries, which are supported via the IAVH Development Fund contribute subject-specific articles as for example case studies or new chapters for the Materia Medica Project.
Potential nominees for IAVH membership are Cuba and the Baltic countries. After close analy- sis of the current situation in these countries we worked out a concept for joining negotiations.
Further steps for the processing of a joint paper with ECH to support the CPME (Standing Committee of European Doctors) und FEV (Federation of Veterinarians of Europe) work- group Against Antimicrobial Resistance were defined.
With energetic and competent help from Edward de Beukelaer we discussed the possi- bilities of an IAVH involvement at the LIGA con- gress in Paris and the structure of the Materia Medica project. Appreciation of values of a sys- tem based on the Wikipedia software or via PDFs resulted in going for PDFs.
On Sunday the meeting ended with many assigned tasks and current facts. Many thanks to the officers, Markus Mayer and the office team for providing premium support for devel- oping sustainable structures for the benefit of IAVH and veterinary homeopathy.

Bob has always had a soft stool; he is very delicate when it comes to cleanliness or food. He desn’t like it too much being touched, but he likes to get a massage. He would never get really angry.
And he loathes getting wet, unless it is absolutely necessary. He loves the warmth and can lie in the sun, when I am already dizzy. So I decided to give him Silicea M, once.
After two weeks, Bobs bed was dry for some time
I had to repeatedly, every three to six weeks, give Silicea C 30, to keep those beds dry.
Now Bob is eight. And a wet bed hasn’t been a question since about four years.
I was very impressed once again of the power of homeopathy, even if of course you can never say how it would have been, would the patient not have got the remedy...
Anyway, Silicea has almost never deceived me. When the symptoms fit with it, it has remarkable power. This always of course, if the way of life and the nutrition of the animal is correct and decent. That’s why I always check that first, because I noticed, that homeopathy cannot help, if an animal suffers deeply from bad communication or something else.
