babies and parents relentless distress and
exhaustion.
Reflux is the spontaneous passage of acid stomach
contents upwards into the oesophagus. There may
or may not be associated vomiting. Colic symptoms
usually affect the stomach and intestines and may be
due to an immature digestive system.
Mental and emotional symptoms are highly important in homeopathic remedy selection. They represent the person's character and individuality. These symptoms include all emotions, temperaments, disturbances of the will and understanding, as well as dreams, delusions, fears, embarrassment, forgetfulness, laziness, and social needs. Some symptoms are part of the constitutional temperament, while others may be transient responses to disease. It is important that mental and emotional symptoms clearly limit the person, not just represent character traits, in order to be useful for repertorization and finding the correct remedy. The vital force expresses these symptoms uniquely for each individual.
Hahnemann developed the theory of miasms to explain chronic disease patterns. He believed there were three main miasms - psora, syphilis, and sycosis - that were inherited predispositions responsible for chronic illness. Psora referred to tendencies like skin issues and underfunctioning. Syphilis involved destruction and issues like necrosis. Sycosis involved overfunctioning tendencies like growths. Modern homeopaths recognize additional miasms like tuberculosis and cancer. Understanding miasms can help home prescribers realize why some remedies do not provide lasting relief and indicate an underlying state needing constitutional or miasmatic treatment.

The document also lists additional keynote symptoms and the remedies they point to, such as feelings of being bruised and beaten for Arnica or stung by a bee for Apis. Recognizing a keynote symptom allows one to quickly identify the most likely indicated remedy.

The document recommends homoeopathic remedies as an alternative or addition to conventional vaccination and treatment for cat flu.
Homoeopathic provings involve giving healthy volunteers safe amounts of substances to discover what symptoms are produced. Volunteers record any symptoms experienced after taking substances in potency form. Provings are supervised and use double-blind, placebo-controlled methods to reduce bias. The full range of a substance's symptoms are drawn out by testing on both males and females. Over 5,000 substances have been proved for the homoeopathic materia medica through this process over 200 years.

Paying attention to the sensations described by a patient can help uncover the appropriate homeopathic remedy. Sensations express the particular nature of an individual's vital force. Some keynote sensations that indicate remedies include "as if bruised and beaten" for Arnica and "as if stung by a bee" for Apis. The book "Sensations as if" by H.A. Roberts provides a reference for unique sensations and helped the author uncover Arsenicum as the remedy for a patient who described a sensation of a "ball of mucus lodged in the throat".

The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

Animals & Homoeopathy Info
1. A
nimals respond to Homoeopathic remedies
in much the same way as people. There are
many similarities between animal and hu-
man health problems and of course some important
differences. However this is not such a problem for
the homoeopathic prescriber as the remedy choice
is based upon the ‘symptoms’ presented.
Consult your veterinarian for chronic problems and
when the situation seems out of the scope of your
homoeopathic experience. There are vets who use
natural therapies in their practices and are open to
your use of homoeopathy.
Homoeopathy is a medical system developed by
Samuel Hahnemann 200 years ago. It is well known in
the United Kingdom, America, Europe and Asia and
to a lesser extent Australia. Homoeopathy follows
definite scientific laws of preparation, prescription
and cure which are as true today as they were in Dr
Hahnemann’s time.
Homoeopathic medicines are provided in either
pilules or drops and the dose varies depending upon
individual need. These medicines have been pre-
pared in a specific way by a process called poten-
tisation. This is an activating process involving dilu-
tion and succussion (shaking hard) which makes the
remedies non-toxic and free from side effects. This
means that the Homoeopathic medicine will not af-
fect or influence any other prescribed medicines.
The information and remedy pictures that follow
are available in traditional homoeopathic texts. If a
homoeopathic remedy picture matches your indi-
vidual symptom picture the remedy may offer symp-
tomatic relief. Homoeopathic principles should be
applied when using any homoeopathic remedy. Al-
ways read the product label. If symptoms persist con-
sult your animals health care practitioner promptly.
Accidents, Injuries & Fight Wounds
For shock with fear - Aconite. Bruising, trauma and
shock – Arnica, use immediately there is an accident
or injury and repeat four hourly or as needed. For
nerve damage, crushed paws or tail, spinal injuries,
splinters, puncture wounds, bites and stings - Hyperi-
cum. Animal bites – Ledum.
Fight wounds: The following remedies work well
however some cats may require surgery. At the first
sign of fighting give Arnica and Hypericum or Le-
dum. Initially a couple of doses over a 12 hour pe-
riod. If an abscess has formed Hepar Sulph followed
by Silica. For lacerated or incised wounds – Staphy-
sagria. Chronic infections, abscesses and draining
fistulas – Silica.
Management issues include sterilisation of non-
breeding cats, keeping them indoors especially at
night and regular handling to detect wounds before
they become abscesses.
Anal Glands
Peaceful, domesticated animals do not always dis-
play territorial behaviour and squirt their anal glands,
so they can become blocked and need emptying by
your vet. If they are fed a natural diet with plenty of veg-
etables (for the fibre), to help empty the glands during
defaecation they are less likely to become blocked.
Blocked glands are characterised by scratching and
discomfort around the bottom and a generally miser-
able demeanor.
For infected glands use Calc Sulph or Hepar Sulph
followed by Silica. Silica is a slow acting eliminator so
long term treatment may be needed in cases of recur-
rent blockages.
Bites & Stings
Spring and summer brings bee and wasp chasing with
puppies and kittens. Be ready with Apis or Urtica Urens
and repeat often as this can be dangerous if the throat
swells – seek veterinary care if in doubt. Insect bites and
puncture wounds respond well to Ledum.
Constipation
Careful attention to and adjustment of the diet is es-
sential. Stool large, dry and hard. No straining – Bryonia.
Straining that is ineffectual - Nux Vomica. Constipation
in old, weak animals - Alumina.
Coughs, Colds & Runny Noses
Give vitamin C powder, about 2000 to 4000mg twice
daily for a few days, and a human dose of immune
boosting herb such as Echinacea, Andrographis or Rei-
shi/shitaki mushroom. A herbal cough medicine with
some warm honey can also help a lot.
Early stages when the animal is feverish, thirsty
and the nose is hot and dry – Aconite. Bland, wa-
tery discharge. Eyes red, watery and sensitive to
animals
homoeopathy&
[contd over page]
2. light - Allium. Acrid discharge. Thirsty and restless –
Arsenicum. Discharge whitish like egg-white. violent
sneezing – Nat Mur. Chronic discharge, thick, tough
and stringy – Kali Bic. Septic throat, bad breath excess
saliva, thin, greenish nasal discharge – Mercurius. Thin
grayish discharge. Crusts form inside the nose – Silica.
Cat flu is a common winter complaint. It usually begins
with sneezing and a clear, watery nasal discharge which
may become thick and yellow/green if not treated
effectively. In some cases it can progress to bronchitis
and pneumonia. Use any of the above remedies
depending on the stage.
For kennel cough in dogs use Aconite in the early stag-
es for a rough, loud, barking cough, especially at night.
Then later, other remedies to consider include Bryonia,
Phosphorus, Drosera and Ant Tart.
Dental Health
Dogs and cats who chew raw meaty bones at least
four days a week have clean white teeth and healthy
gums and rarely need their teeth scaled or removed.
Cooked bone is not suitable as it is not digestible and
can cause problems. Any raw bone that is a suitable
size for your animal to have a good chew at (ie get its
teeth into!) is safe. Raw chicken necks or raw white bait
fish for cats and toy breed dogs are usually about the
right size, and raw chicken wings, raw lamb necks, or
raw chicken frames are good for medium to large dogs.
If they are not used to chewing bones, introduce them
gradually over about a month.
Diarrhoea & Vomiting
If symptoms persist seek help from your vet as animals
can dehydrate quickly. Aconite is very useful in the first
stages of stomach upsets and diarrhoea. Vomiting and
diarrhoea with loss of appetite - Arsenicum Album. Per-
sistent vomiting and nausea - Ipecac. Vomiting yet still
has an appetite – Phosphorus. After rich and fatty or
creamy food - Pulsatilla. Upset stomach and bloating
from overindulgence – Nux Vomica. Violent purging
with rapid exhaustion and dehydration – Veratrum and
seek veterinary advice.
Dietary Needs
Dogs and cats do not thrive on packaged, processed
foodoranexcessoffoodfromthefamilytable.Meatand
poultry byproducts used in many commercial pet foods
are often of a poor standard and may contain entrails,
feathers, sawdust and various leftovers not fit for con-
sumption. Most of the preservatives added to canned
and dry foods don’t even bear contemplating.
Your dogs’ digestive system is designed for a mainly
raw food diet and many common health problems
disappear when changes are made to dietary intake.
Generally speaking dogs do well on 60% raw meat and
bones and 30- 40% fruit and vegetables. Add to this a
good quality nutritional supplement.
Cats are strict carnivores and have a high protein re-
quirement. Their diet should be totally raw and consist of
90% raw meat and bones, 10% vegetables and a nutri-
tional powder supplement.
Just as humans benefit from a short period of fasting
and a gentle spring detox our pets also thrive on a few
days of a simple vegetable juice and broth diet to rest
the digestive organs.
Emotional Upsets
Domestic animals usually make strong emotional con-
nections with their owners and may exhibit problems
when their home life is upset. In these situations animals
respond very well to carefully chosen flower essences
and homoeopathics.
Problems may develop after a change involving a loss
of territory, relationship or attention. Health can be af-
fected by recurrent feelings of tension, anxiety, depres-
sion, anger and other emotional upsets in the home. The
owner’s attitude and expectations about illness or a dis-
turbance may affect the pet’s own health.
When seeking professional advice mention other con-
tributing factors such as family stress and grief which
may be impacting on the health or emotions of your
pet. If your practitioner does not think that these factors
are important then seek advice from someone with a
more holistic approach.
Anxiety and fear: Anticipatory anxiety and ex-
citement - Aconite. Fear and apprehension is com-
mon before any ordeal. Fears of heights, crowds,
closed spaces etc. May have diarrhoea – Argent
Nit. Emotional excitement and apprehension – qui-
et, subdued and trembling - Gelsemium. A height-
ened state of anxiety and restlessness especially in
fussy, chilly animals – Arsenicum. Nervous animals to
strengthen the nervous system – Kali Phos.
Barking and behavioural problems: Dogs bark for a
variety of reasons. Some bark for the sheer joy of being
alive, but persistent barking often indicates that there is
a serious underlying problem.
Some common reasons for barking include: Attention
seeking behaviour, territorial aggression, boredom, sep-
aration anxiety, play. Consider a flower essence combi-
nation or specific homoeopathic remedy.
Boarding Kennels or Home Alone: A few days before
your dog or cat goes boarding, give a top up dose of
3. Kennel cough 30c or Cat Flu 30C. Also give a few days
of Vitamin C powder and Echinacea/five mushroom or
other immune boosting herb in the animal’s food.
StartIgnatia dailyfromacoupleofdaysbeforeboard-
ing, and/or the Bach remedy combination – Rescue
Remedy (for stress), Honeysuckle (for grief) and Walnut
(for adaptation to change).
Grief, separation and stress: Anxious and restless, fears
change – Arsenicum. Clingy and moody – Pulsatilla.
Sad, sighing and changeable, off their food – Igna-
tia. Withdrawn and wants to be alone – Nat Mur.
Jealousy: Animals established in a home may
suffer emotional problems when new arrivals ap-
pear. Consider Nat Mur or Ignatia. Lachesis if they
are vicious and attack the newcomer. Pulsatilla if
they demand attention, a remedy for sibling rivalry.
Staphysagria for sulking, growling and withdrawal.
Also Star of Bethlehem, Holly, Walnut, Willow, Beech
and Honeysuckle.
Fleas
Homoeopathically Pulex Irritans made from “flea”
can be taken internally to boost resistance. The es-
sential oils Bergamot, Eucalyptus, Geranium and
Lavender are effective insect repellents.
Add the oils to a bath or sponge through a mixture
in tepid water. For cats stroking through a few drops
on the palm may be easier. A spritzer sprayed around
bedding, carpets and doorways acts as a deterrent.
Add ample nutritional or brewers yeast and garlic
to the diet and steer clear of chemical insecticides
and shampoos that are dangerous to the animal and
to family members who breathe in the chemicals.
Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is serious and requires rapid cooling
and monitoring of body temperature; immerse the ani-
mal in cold water being very careful not to over cool the
body and contact your vet for advice.
Restless with intense thirst and high anxiety - Aconite.
Prostration, trembling - Gelsemium. Pulse strong and
rapid, pupils fixed and dilated, sensitive to noise, light
and movement - Belladonna.
Face congested, rolling of head from side to side, no
thirst - Apis. Clammy and collapsed - Carbo veg.
Immunisation
Thisisacomplicatedissueanddiffersfromcasetocase.
However the following points should be considered:
• If vaccinating give the homoeopathic disease
nosode as well.
• Only give puppies and kittens the necessary
vaccines individually rather than the 5 in one.
• Wait until the animal is at least 8 weeks old.
• Before giving boosters ask your vet to check
antibody levels with a blood test.
• See your holistic vet for a more individual
approach to vaccination or if you feel your
animal is suffering ill health as the result of vaccines.
Joint Pain & Arthritis
As animals age they may be slower to rise due to stiff-
ness, experiencing lameness from sore muscles or joints.
There are several things that you can do to minimise
their discomfort.
Feed a natural diet - thereby ensuring an adequate
intake of the nutrients required to support ligament and
bone repair. Add vitamin E and vitamin C 500 - 2000mg
per day depending upon size. The herb Alfalfa is ex-
tremely rich in nutrients and alkalinizing. It improves the
appetite and supports the digestion and joints by bal-
ancing the over-acid system. Garlic is also important
for the joints and can be added to the diet. In addi-
tion these animals benefit from sleeping on a padded,
raised bed, warmth and non-weight bearing exercise
(eg swimming).
Acute symptoms with swelling, redness, pain and pos-
sibly fever responds well to Belladonna. Rhus Tox suits
inflammation, pain and stiffness which is most apparent
when the animal gets up after a long rest. Once moving
about it starts to loosen and feel better. Bryonia symp-
toms are much worse from movement, better from firm
pressure and lying still. Silica is important in symptoms
when the joint stiffness, pain and distortion gets worse as
the animal gets older and can be given regularly with
other indicated Tissue Salts to support the joints and
calcium metabolism.
Pregnancy Birth & Baby Animals
Pregnancy: Give Arnica in the final week to reduce
soft tissue damage during labour. To ensure healthy
bones and reduce the incidence of mastitis and calci-
um deficiency problems start Calc Phos a week or two
before the due date.
Birthing and after: Fearful and anxious – Aconite. Four
hourly during labour to reduce bruising and promote re-
pair - Arnica Stimulates contractions, useful in labour if
progress is slow - Caulophylum. Clingy, sad, moody and
wants company and consolation - Pulsatilla. Indiffer-
ence to the babies and wants to be left alone - Sepia.

&
Pregnancy etc. [contd]
Feeding and mastitis: Teat area hot,
swollen, pupils dilated, full pulse, excited -
Belladonna. Teat very hard, general limb
stiffness - Bryonia. Averse to touch due
to pain - Hepar Sulph. To increase milk
supply – Urtica Urens. Recurring mastitis –
Calc Carb.
Ailments of Puppies: Puppies who have
not had a very good start to life and have
weak appetites, poor coats and rickety
joints respond well to Calc Phos.
Skin
When dogs and cats scratch a great deal
despite every hygienic and local measure
try either Sulphur (hot, greedy and often
rather smelly) or Arsenicum (chilly, nervous
and always grooming themselves). Boils,
pimples and pus-like eruptions – Hepar
Sulph. Hair loss, ringworm – Sepia. Acute,
wet eczema – Rhus Tox.
Pustules, boils, diseased claws and deli-
cate skin that doesn’t heal well – Silica. Sili-
ca in conjunction with Kali Sulph is excellent
for conditioning the coat. Kali Sulph is indi-
cated for sore paws with scaling of the skin.
Hepar Sulph, Graphites or Silica - for cysts
between the toes.
Tissue Salts
Working at a cellular level tissue salts help
balance and improve the absorption and
uptake of minerals and nutrients.
Surgery
In the event that your animal needs
surgery give Arnica and Hypericum a few
times a day, preferably starting a day or two
before the surgery and continue for a few
days to promote healing. For abdominal
surgery add Bellis Perennis. Surgery involving
bone and ligaments – Ruta Grav. Adverse
reactions to anaesthetics - Phosphorus.
Travel Sickness
Give 2 or 3 doses before travel. If the usual re-
action is very severe, start the day before trav-
el. Severe nausea and dizziness - Cocculus.
Nausea, vomiting and excess saliva – Ipecac.
Nausea and dizziness from fumes - Petroleum.
Digestive disturbance, nausea – Nux Vomica.
Urinary Problems & Cystitis
Examination and diagnosis by your vet is
important as animals can die quickly of kidney
failure if the bladder is totally blocked. Classic
cystitis, with the typical frequency of passing
urine and associated pain – Cantharis.
Absence of urine, a few doses of Apis helps
to encourage urination. Incontinence in a
spayed animal, helpful for dogs who dribble
urine when excited - Pulsatilla. Incontinence
during the early part of the night – Sepia.
Worms
The best time to worm your animals is in the
days before the full moon, as this is when the
worms are more active and therefore easier to
remove from the body. Cina is the most com-
monly used remedy for worming.
