That'd be my wonderment as well, Marli. The significant understanding in homeopathy is that we'd not need to know a diagnosis in order to treat the dog: the symptoms speak to HOW the dog suffered and they offer the prescriber a means to carefully choose remedies to cure the sick ones.
I'm not talking about DIY homeopathy here, as anything chronic needs professional help. Not easy work, but very effective work in qualified hands.
