Twelve Faculty of Homeopathy veterinarians recorded data systematically at 777 consecutive homeopathic appointments for horses over a period of 12 months. A spreadsheet enabled the recording of information, which included the date of appointment; horse and owner identity (anonymised); sex of horse; main medical problem treated; whether the condition was chronic or acute; whether the appointment was new or a follow-up; owner-assessed clinical outcome on a seven-point scale, ranging from -3 to +3, compared with the first appointment; homeopathic medicine(s) prescribed; and whether any conventional or other complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) was being used concurrently to treat the condition. Data from 289 horses comprised a total of 305 individual conditions identified as chronic in nature, of which 234 had a follow-up assessment. At the final appointment for chronic cases during the study period, 4.3 per cent were receiving conventional medication and 17.1 per cent were being given another CAM treatment in addition to homeopathy. The eight chronic conditions most frequently treated with homeopathy were: arthritis, headshaking, laminitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sweet itch, dermatitis, sarcoidosis and Cushing's syndrome.
12 位顺势疗法兽医在 12 个月的时间里，对 777 次连续的马用顺势疗法预约进行了系统记录。一个电子表格可用于记录信息，包括预约日期；马和主人的身份（匿名）；马的性别；主要治疗的医疗问题；病情是慢性还是急性；预约是新的还是随访；主人根据七点量表评估的临床结果，范围从-3 到+3，与第一次预约相比；开的顺势疗法药物；以及是否同时使用任何常规或其他补充/替代药物（CAM）来治疗病情。289 匹马的数据共包括 305 种被确定为慢性的个体疾病，其中 234 种有随访评估。在研究期间慢性病例的最后一次预约中，4.3%的病例接受了常规药物治疗，17.1%的病例除了顺势疗法外还接受了另一种 CAM 治疗。最常使用顺势疗法治疗的 8 种慢性疾病是：关节炎、摇头、蹄叶炎、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、甜痒、皮炎、肉瘤病和库欣综合征。
