There's a really good description of homeopathy and how it works here:  http://www.blakkatz.com/homeopathy.html

Homeopathy works on a dynamic or energetic level. Hahnemann used the term "vital force" to describe the spirit–like energy force that maintains the life of the individual. Without the vital force, the body dies. When the vital force is in a state of balance, health exists. A cat (or any living creature) with a strong vital force (not to be confused with immune system because they are two different things) will be able to withstand exposure to certain disease stimulants with little disruption. One with a weak vital force, however, will be pushed to a state of imbalance with the slightest provocation.

Homeopathic remedies are not given in their crude form. That is why very dangerous substances like deadly nightshade, arsenic and snake poisons can be used safety. Use of remedies in their crude form, even if given in very minute amounts or diluted caused illness or aggravations in Hahnemann's early patients. He wanted to be able to use the more poisonous materials like arsenic or mercury, but he was afraid to test such dangerous substances in order to discover their curative ability. Hahnemann experimented by diluting the substance many thousands of times. Much to his amazement, he discovered the more diluted the remedy, the more powerful and long acting it became. Homeopathic remedies are not simply diluted. Each dilution is vigorously shaken throughout the process (called "succussion"). This dilution and shaking makes the remedy stronger. Conventional potencies are so diluted that there are no detectable molecules of the original substances left. All that is left is the energy or essence of the substance. Homeopathy is an energy healing modality.

There are veterinarians who use homeopathy, and in fact, there is an organization for them:  http://theavh.org/.  Homeopathy is a bit complicated, so it's best to find a qualified homeopathic veterinarian if you can.  Some do phone consults (it can be pricey).  Dr. Richard Pitcairn has used homeopathy with a lot of success over the years and he discusses it in his book, "Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats."
