My latest book, Unexpected Miracles: Hope and Holistic Healing for Pets, will be released on August 18th, 2009! It can now be pre-ordered at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

"Unexpected Miracles is an amazing collection of tales! Veterinarian Dr. Shawn Messonnier uses his talents in the world of holistic medicine to bring new hope to pets who are suffering from a variety of illnesses that conventional medicine can't seem to cure. With countless pet-owners about ready to give up, Dr. Shawn came to the rescue with innovative and alternative techniques that extended their pets' lives and enhanced their quality of living. Combined with the use of conventional medicine, his alternative approach really seems to make a difference!"
- Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus, Columbus Zoo; Host, "Jack Hanna's Into the Wild"

In Unexpected Miracles, I invite you into my waiting room, and will introduce you to some remarkable animals and the courageous owners that never gave up on them. Using case studies and highlighting diseases that commonly afflict our pets, I will share with you the integrative methods I have developed to help my special patients not only survive the maladies they were originally diagnosed with, but in many cases go on to live long and healthy lives. Within the pages of Unexpected Miracles, you'll read fascinating, poignant, and inspiring stories about a wide range of animals that conventional medicine couldn't help:

Brit - A boxer plagued with skin allergies (my very first integrative patient!)
Shasta - A middle-aged chow/golden retriever with liver cancer
Jessie - A three-year-old dachshund diagnosed with intervertebral disc disease
Bailey - A tricolor beagle whose life was saved because of his owner came to see me for a second opinion
& many, many more!

Divided into chapters on related conditions and chock-full of anecdotes, Unexpected Miracles will not only entertain, but also inspire the millions of people who love their pets. I know you will enjoy reading the stories of hope you will encounter in my latest and most special book, Unexpected Miracles! Thanks to all of you who responded to my requests for help in writing this book. Please be sure to pre-order and take advantage of the special discount!
