Dr. Char discusses the difference between invasive treatments like surgery, and the benefits of holistic, non-invasive treatments that address the root problem and may actually reduce the need for your animal to undergo a surgical procedure.
Invasive treatments would be surgery. So let’s say a dog has anal gland problem, a very common problem. The vet may say “you know, you’ve been in here every two weeks – you may want to have these anal glands surgically removed.” That would be invasive.
Another way to direct your attention would be to say “Well, oftentimes allergies are behind this and so let’s work on the allergies. If we reduce the allergic reaction going on in the body, then the anal glands won’t be over-producing and they won’t get infected and you won’t have a problem anymore. So that’s the way I would look at it and try it first before going to surgery.
