I have a beautiful 16 year old cat named Bear-Bear. she is fun, frisky, happy, healthy and popular!
A few nights ago Bear-Bear suddenly changed. She threw up her dinner and ran off to hide under a chair. I thought she was just reacting to the hot day. She has occassionaly thrown up in the past but always rebounded quickly - really quickly. In fact, Bear-Bear has never been sick for more than an hour! But this time was different.
The next morning I knew something was wrong. Bear-Bear always wake us at 4am or a little later to be fed. Cat owners know it is almost impossible to wean cats to your own schedule of when to feed them!! Much as I tried to avoid hearing her morning call - when it wasn't there I was very concerned. I found Bear-Bear hiding under the bed - something she never does. She was hot to the touch and didn't want any food or water. Nothing changed for hours. I really didn't know what to do - all my homeopathic training seemed to fly out the window...except I did give her Arsenicum Album 30C in case of food poisoning.
Then I considered.... maybe Belladonna...maybe Carbo veg (although she wasn't chilly). I really thought she was dying although deep down I felt she still had a few more years. I gave her droppers of water and then consulted a friend who is a homeopath and has lots of pets. In relaying the symptoms to her: sudden onset, hiding, hot...of course Belladonna came up. I gave her one pellet and almost instantly she ran to the litter, did her thing, threw up again and stopped hiding. Wow!
Bear-Bear is a slim cat and not eating for two days really shows on her. Her appetite still wasn't there. So I was able to syringe a little food to her and kept her hydrated with a dropper of water. She is bouncing around again, and I am so grateful to Hahnemann, homeopaths and pets!!
We are so very proud of our newest graduating class! We look forward to seeing their continued success in homeopathic practice in Ontario. Congratulations, graduates!
