Bless you for rescuing the little tyke.

Homeopathy is really not related to herbal medicine. Homeopathy is an energy medicine and works on a totally different plane than herbal medicine which has material ingredient. I have heard it described as the difference between physics and chemistry. They may be compatible at times but one is definitely not a subset of the other. Herbal medicine, like conventional medicine, is often used allopathically which is by definition in conflict with homeopathy.

I think it is difficult for the same practitioner to successfully combine homeopathy with other altmeds. Especially if they claim to be expert in a number of areas. That is really very unlikely because too much knowledge is required for each specialty. We do have some exceptions to that rule here. Wim is well versed in phytotherapy (and I'm sure I'm not the only one here envious of his photographic memory!). There are some others. However, I would be very wary of an eclectic holistic vet. May not apply to your vet, but I do urge caution. For instance, if you are given any indication that they support the use of combination homeopathic remedies, you can pretty safely assume that they do not really understand homeopathy and have not embraced its core principles and therefore may not be capable of true cure, only suppression. There are VERY few worthwhile veterinary homeopaths out there, and therefore much more likely to practice long distance (as Wim does for us). Beware the one convenient enough to drive to, LOL!

My cat died with numerous small bladder stones, but I learned about them from the x-ray which led to her immediately being euthanized (her lungs were gutted out with cancer or something). So I can't tell you what might have worked. In her case, I am sure the stones were part of a chronic condition and not something appropriately treated on their own. That is one of the things that homeopathy must account for because "the disease" is not simply the stones. The stones are merely one symptom of the larger picture from which the remedy should be chosen.

Homeopathy is an incredible healing tool and I encourage you to learn what you can. Treatment of many acute conditions is within my grasp, I believe, but chronic treatment of myself or my pets I leave to the experts, and it must indeed be an expert. Wim posted a good ebook elsewhere. I'd like to add my favorite here:
