Abstract.
The increasing interest in internationally context for non-conventionally therapies and especially for the apitherapy and phitotherapy used in veterinary purpose determined us to study the effects of such therapies in bone diseases (rickets) in dogs and cats using a new product - Apiter. The clinical experiments were done using a lot of 24 individuals, of different ages between 6 weeks and 7 years with osteo-articulars disorders of rickety type for young individuals and osteomalacia (adult rickets), in treatment series of 10 and 30 days. The clinical investigations were completed by radiological exams and biochemical determinations (Ca, Mg, P and alkaline phosphatase), the resulted values being registered before and after treatment. The obtained results shown us that the tested methods with the new product APITER, applied on dogs and cats with rickets disease were as efficiently as the classic nutrition methods.
