Treating Wildlife with
Homeopathy
• Besides
using homeopathy on beloved pets, wildlife rehabilitators are also looking into
alternative treatment for wild animals.
• Increasingly,
wildlife rehabilitators are looking at acupuncture, herbs, flower essences, and
homeopathy as their options in treating sick and injured animals.
• On
average, each animal costs around $100-300 dollars to rehabilitate.
Why Choose Homeopathy for your
animal friends?
• Easy
to administer. Pellets may be mixed into their drinking water or given orally.
• Affordable!
• Safe
and more effective than toxin drugs.
• Stimulates
the animal’s own healing energies.
• Non-toxic!
Case #1: Saw Whet Owl
• A
saw whet owl was brought into a wildlife rehabilitation center. It was hit by a
car and the left eye was hemorrhaging internally. The rehabilitator gave
Aconite 1M to ease the owl’s fears and shock of the accident.
• Arnica
1M was given afterward to stimulate the healing progress. There was noticeable
improvement in 2 hours.
But the left eye was still full of blood. The rehabilitator
picked out the following rubrics:
• Eye
injuries, intraocular hemorrhage, eye closing, head injuries, and general
injuries.
• She
gave the owl Lachesis 200C. The eye noticeably improved in 3 hours and the owl
fully recovered in 5 days.
• Indiana’s
main complaint was a severe bone infection, an advanced fungal infection called
nasal aspergillosis. Indiana was in extreme pain and was on $800 dollars worth
of medication per month.
• The
vet urged the owners to euthanize Indiana but the owners wanted to try
homeopathy.
You can see the bulge/swelling of her right forehead.
• The
homeopath took the case and picked rubrics based on the following symptoms:
• Head
pain
• Ulcerated
nostrils
• Yellow/foul
odorous nasal discharge
• Exostosis
of facial bone
• <
cold weather
• The
homeopath gave Indiana Aurum metallicum 30C. The symptoms resolved in the next
few months, with occasional repeating of the 30C before finally moving up to
200C.
• Indiana
is now a happy, pain free dog!
No more swelling!
Case #3: Colicky Horse
• The
owner noticed his horse was not eating and there was no stool in his stall, an
unusual sign.
• The
horse would lie down or roll, making the owner wonder if he had colic.
• Bubbly
sounds coming from the horse’s stomach convinced the owner the horse was
suffering from colic, and hoping a walk would lessen the horse’s discomfort,
the owner began to walk the horse. There was visual muscular cramping.
• The
owner gave a capful of Colocynthis 200C. Within 3 minutes the horse passed a
large pile of manure and began walking better.
• But
after 20 minutes the horse began slowing down and the owner gave another dose.
• After
the dose, the horse began drinking water and no further symptoms were observed.
Beaver with prolapsed rectum
• A
young beaver was brought into a wildlife rehab center, he was dehydrated,
emaciated, and had terrible matted fur. Tests showed it had parasites and he
was given a dewormer.
• The
beaver stabilized, but had diarrhea with a terrible odor and walked unsteady,
as if he was dizzy.
• The
rehabilitator then noticed the beaver had a prolapsed rectum, it protruded 2”
out.
• She
gave Podophyllum 200C based on the fact the beaver would roll his head back and
forth, and seemed worse from motion.
• She
gave the first dose at 11PM, by 3 AM the rectum was only protruding out by 1”.
• Another
dose was given at 6AM and by 9AM the rectum was no longer protruding. The
diarrhea and vertigo stopped as well.
• The
beaver was kept for a few more months until he grew to full size and was
released back into the wild.
Sir Fancy, 6 year old cat
• Sir
Fancy had an anal gland rupture. By the time I noticed it the abscess had
already burst. I gave Silica 30C in his drinking water for about 2 days to make
sure it all came out, and then Calcarica Sulphurica 30C for the next 3 days.
The abscess cleared up with no issue.
• For
a few days Sparky was trembling, walked in a zig zag way, and lost his
balancet. He was dull, drowsy, and didn’t eat nor drink much. He was also timid
and easily excitable.
• I
gave him Gelsemium 30C in his drinking water for 3 days. Within a week, he
began walking fine, the trembling went away, and thunderstorms/loud noises
don’t scare him as much (this improved by 80%!). He is still doing very well!
A Wonderful Healing System for
Animal. As you can see, Homeopathy is safe and effective on animals:
from small to large and from domestic to wild. It is a great way to help heal
our animal friends!
