Emergencies

Ah! The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat……

I know your little Olympian deserves a gold medal every time she sits for a treat, but, what if she misses a step at the agility course or twists her neck catching a frisbee?

Homeopathic remedies fit perfectly for these sorts of boo-boos. Every athlete at Rio 2016 should be using homeopathy – they would never need to fear drug testing!

Here are some potential pet emergencies where Homeopathy is the best and, really, the safest option to insure your dog or cat:

• He’s playing ball with two other dogs. Someone runs forcefully into his shoulder. He lets out a cry you can’t ignore. Pull out the Arnica montana.
• She’s jumping over the stream, misses her step and is immediately 3-legged lame. Head for the Ruta graveolens.
• She’s playing soccer with the family cat. Oops! An unintended puncture to the nose! Grab the Ledum palustre.
• He’s been at day care all day, playing, playing, and playing. Exhausted, looking like a wet noodle, he eats dinner but can’t hold it down. Remember the Nux vomica.

Is this your sweet little kitty when you let him know you have to take him to the v-e-t?

Does he intuit your thoughts and disappear into the ‘cat parallel universe’ that mere humans cannot see through????

No wonder they resist your efforts to haul them to the vet. That’s where awful things happen. That’s where they are certainly not the predator, but, the prey.

Even at my office, equipped with soft fabric on top of a padded table, I’m still a v-e-t! It’s still a horrible, humiliating, and overstimulating assault to the kitty perspective and energetic body. It’s still people they don’t know or trust. And, it still smells awful!

It’s hot. It’s really hot. It’s really too hot for our animals who can’t take off their fur coats or take a refreshing dip anytime they want.

Have you ever put yourself in their shoes, and walked around in your winter parka on a hot summer day? Try it. It’s not pleasant.

Have you ever walked across hot, black pavement with say, only socks on? Try it. It’s not even remotely pleasant.

But, more than just unpleasant, the summer months can arrive with dangerous risks for your dogs and cats.

Kick off your shoes and go for a run on the beach. Or put on your hiking boots and explore the forest. But, don’t forget your homeopathic remedies – in case of an emergency!

What happened to Trixie and her person, Donna, is an example of a possible pet emergency avoided by having homeopathic remedies and the knowledge of how to use them.

It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day to head out to the local lake. Donna was closing up the house when Trixie helped herself to the contents of the kitchen garbage can. Donna was always mindful of Trixie’s love for anything appearing even remotely edible – but, accidents do happen!

By the time Donna returned, Trixie had eaten all the leftovers in the trash leaving the kitchen in a mess. Should Donna take Trixie to the vet, instead of the lake? Should she induce vomiting? She knows her little four-legged daughter can have diarrhea from indiscretions in diet. What is a mother to do?

Drum roll, please… emergency pet homeopathy to the rescue!

There is no better, faster, easier solution than the homeopathic remedy for your pet, Nux vomica, to help a case of debauch!

Nux, as it is affectionately called, is a brilliant pet homeopathic remedy for all sorts of excesses, including over-eating, (like Trixie); over-indulging in drink or food; over-drugging (pharmaceuticals, recreational); over-caffeinating (yes, too many Starbucks coffees); over-stressing; over-working; over, over, over…

I have to say, I think Nux should be put in the water systems in the United States. Take out the lead and replace it with Nux!

Just kidding. But, seriously, who isn’t over-stressed these days?

Here’s a broader picture of when the homeopathic pet remedy Nux vomica might help:

• irritability
• nervousness
• sedentary lifestyle
• ‘self medicating’ with stimulants, alternating with sedatives
• gastrointestinal upsets (dyspepsia), gas, burping, poor digestion
• nausea and vomiting (especially in the morning)
• ravenous appetite
• oversensitivity: light, sound, smells, etc
• back pain
• constipation (chronic – from sedentary life)
• diarrhea (acute – from over eating, anger)
• sleeplessness after alcohol
• headaches from over-doing

Any of these symptoms sound familiar to you? Be it a furry-one or a two-legged, the Nux pattern of illness can manifest from an out-of-balance life style, creating havoc in every part of the body!

Luckily, Donna was ready with her emergency kit, gave Trixie Nux vomica, nixed the trip to the vet, and headed to the lake after all!

Time to shed those heavy winter coats and have some fun-in-the-sun! But, as you know, accidents can happen. Are you prepared?

Homeopathic remedies are a safe, easy, fabulous way to treat your entire family should a minor (or even a major) medical event occur. It could be a bump or a strain, too much sun or too little water, or even a digestive upset. You’ll want to be prepared, and shine like a rock star when you avoid a trip to the emergency clinic!

If you are familiar with homeopathy, then you know its amazing ability to stimulate the body’s healing response instantly, right when you need it!

One of my favorite, underused homeopathic remedies is Ledum palustre. It’s a brilliant, and I do mean Brilliant, homeopathic remedy for any sort of puncture wound.
