Natural Care for Farm Animals and Pets: A Veterinarian Blog

Hi, my name is Risa, and I have worked as an herbalist for decades. I love natural approaches to healthcare, and I don't think that ideology has to be restricted to myself. Instead, I also like to embrace it for my animals as well. I have several beloved "pets" who are really more like family to me as well as some chickens, two goats and a pig on my land.
