No idea from double-blind, placebeo, any of that.

But.

My cousin was (and may still be) a homeopthic vet out in Western MA. And I've been using that knowledge for years as an indication that maybe homeopathic remedies sometimes worked, because the animals he treated wouldn't necessarily experience the full placebeo effect of stuff.

But if they DO have some kind of "pills mean get better" response after a while, then maybe that would be strengthened by the demenor of the sort of vet who's into alternative medicine, and therefore... ack ack. I can't come up with a good conclusion to this, I'm totally uncaffienated. but there you go.
