Comments on Walk With Me: Curing Lily’s Heartworm Without Drugs | Episode 4

What concentration of Graphites did you give and was it just one dose or multiple?

Hi Dr Falconer:
I was wondering if you could share which meteria medica(s) you recommend. There are so many, i would appreciate some help in narrowing the field. Are there some better for dogs/animals per say..than a human patient?
Thank you!

Really good to hear Lily is doing well. But very interesting to read the way you analyzed her case, and then re-analyzed her new symptoms. It is good to know a remedy may bring new symptoms to the surface telling the homeopath a new remedy is needed. I find this very interesting indeed!
On another note, the writing On the Front Line with Resistance I find it captivating and charming. You have an strength and energy that is admirable. You are doing all this work to deliver your speech in Portland in about 4 weeks, nevertheless you find time to give the Vital Animal Blog some love. I think your energy comes from your drive, you have the need to accomplish this goal thus the energy to go and do what you believe. My admiration goes out to you for this willingness to help animals and therefore the people who love them. Thank your for all your efforts. We really appreciate it. Nice to hear you will show a new tool in homeopathy analysis!

Interesting story about Lily and her appetite for strange things. Our pug, Sophie, has been eating gravel off of the road during our walks for a few weeks now. I pull those suckers out of her mouth when I can, but she often swallows them before I can get to her.
She's also been eating mulch when she can find it, but gravel seems to be her favorite. She considers the street her buffet and is obsessed with finding anything inedible to eat.

Hi, Dr. Falconer - I'm loving this series of posts on Lily. I'm a vet relatively new to homeopathy, and I am eating up as many case studies as possible. You provide some really wonderfully detailed analyses, and I so appreciate it - thank you. A few questions sprang to mind as I read this latest post about Lily's upcoming heartworm test. Will this be the typical antigen test? And would you necessarily expect a negative result immediately after *beginning* homeopathic treatment versus after finding that Lily is no longer having relevant symptoms or clinical signs? And finally, what is your theory about what happens to the adult worms (if there were any) after they are discouraged from persisting due to excellent health? Wouldn't they still need to die off, however less suddenly, and be disassembled and resorbed by the body? How long would this process reasonably take? Thanks so much for any additional insight you can provide!

I'm totally relating to this. As I was reading this post, what did Gulliver do? Pranced across the living room and, for the first time EVER, decided to climb the window sheers. Um, what in the blue hell are you doing, Buddy?" So yeah, adding that to the "notice anything new since remedy received? Roger that...

In the above case, eating toads can cause the "weird" hallucinogenic behaviour. As well It can kill a dog.
