Need Constitutional Remedy

p l e a s e ... anyone ??

Thanks passkey,

I will do as you suggest. Because of the holiday I'll not be able to get the remedy til late next week. Will let you know how he does.

Astra,

Thanks for the reply. He is not constipated but his stools are very hard little balls. He only seems to go once per day.

A bit of past history.

In March 2004 he had so much sinus blockage that he'd lost all balance and could not stand up, could not breathe through his nose, his eyes were pulsating in and out as well as side to side with every beat of his pulse. The swelling in his face and around the eyes was severe.

On the way to the vet (an hour away) we gave him Apis 200c for the swelling. When we arrived at the vet hospital his swelling was nearly gone and the eyes had stopped pulsating. He still had very poor balance; could stand up but could not walk without falling over.

The vet put him on a Chinese herb for his kidneys (which he is still taking today)...after 2 weeks of no improvement the vet started him on Arsenicum Album 30c twice per day for one week. The results were immediate and positive. Continued Ars 30c once per day for another 3 weeks. He continued to improve for the next month.

Then in May he was quite stressed when we went on vacation and his imbalance symptoms returned. This time we started him on Merc viv 8x three times per day. After one week he was changed to Merc Sol 30c once per day for 2 days.

The Merc really improved his gums and gingivitis. It is still a problem but much improved from last year.

Let me know if you need more info as I marked all of his symptoms and remedies on a calendar.

The Psorinum is supposed to arrive in 3 more days. I really hope this works for him.

Thanks again,

Hi Astra,

The cats name is Scruffi. He is a Turkish Angora and came to us at 12 weeks of age weighing only 1.2 pounds. He was so haggard looking that I named him Scruffi. He also came with an upper respiratory infection which has never completely gone away.

This morning his inner ears are so blocked that when i moved him from the floor to my shoulders (where he prefers to be) he started shaking his head and his eyes became very large and round. The small change in pressure was enough to trigger this ear pain and vertigo.

We are going to give him Merc 30c today to try and give some immediate relief. He is also not eating as he can't smell his food today. I cannot find any incompatibilities between Mercurius and Psorinum ... please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, you mentioned the "heat and cold" ... Scruffi likes to lay on the heater or on a persons lap but he will only sleep in the the sunshine for a short time and then retreat to a cooler spot.

His right side has always been most affected. ie gum ulceration was worse on the right, right eye and throat glands swell the most and he tilts his head to the right when imbalanced. I will have to get back to you about the vaccination bump as he is sleeping now.

As far as my experience with Homeopathy... my wife and I started using it 7 years ago when we lived on an island with our horses and no horse vet. We have only used it to treat Acute symptoms... colic, punture wounds, bee stings etc. We used it to save one of our other cats who had Asthma and was in an oxygen tent. That was 2 years ago and now he plays like a kitten again.

Our goal is to enable Scruffi to once again play with his buddy.

Thanks, mike

This is just an update on Scruffi's condition tonight.

I gave him Merc Sol 30 at 11am and once again at 1pm before leaving for work. I returned 6 hours later and he was walking around the house and even ate a full meal. He is very alert and attentive. Still stuffed up and a little dehydrated but enough fluid moved out of his sinuses to restore his balance.

My wife mentioned a couple other symptoms which I forgot to list:

His upper lip gets swollen when he is sick.

His tongue is white coated.

Yes it's amazing how well Scruffi responds to Merc. It doesn't address the underlying chronic condition though.

At one time I was going to give him 200c potency but everything I read suggested low potencies for Merc. I will buy some Merc 200 when I pick up the Psorinum... hopefully it arrives today.

Oh, almost forgot. Scruffi has continued to improve. Added some electrolytes to his drinking water and his hydration is normal again.

Hi passkey and Astra,

Scruffi has improved considerably since yesterday. He is now back to the condition I originally posted when starting this thread. This is the condition he has been in for several years except for when he gets stressed like last March, May and then 2 days ago.

In May when he was given Merc he did not improve any further than he is now. Merc seems to work really well to get him functioning but not enough to clear the underlying chronic problem.

I can tell he is back to his old self because he has started to lick the sides of the litter box again.

Here is another point my wife mentioned. For the first 2 years of his life he would have these sneezing attacks every day where he would try to clear his nose. This would happen a couple times per day and the wall next to his bed would be covered in expeled mucous. This was when we lived near the ocean in a humid climate. We then moved about 1000 miles away from the coast to an arrid climate 5 years ago and his sneezing attacks stopped. The mucous now remains internal... His nose is plugged but when it clears it goes backwards to his throat.

Anyway, the psorinum should arrive tomorrow. If you have any other ideas please advise.

Thanks again
