Tiekert was started on Sepia LM1, repeating the dose approximately weekly, and his skin cleared up completely in three months. He received a few Sepia LM2 doses for barbered fur at the base of his tail, at which time he was described as, “...acting ridiculously silly and playful and wants to play ‘catch me if you can’ both indoors and outdoors with me. Goofball. Very happy.” Sepia LM2 did not help his fur, but a dose of (you guessed it!) Sulph 1M, helped his fur become luxuriant again, followed five months later by another dose for weepy eyes (a return of an old symptom). One year later he was still doing very well. Best of all, his cat friend, who had boycotted him when he had such a bad odor, was back to close personal snuggles!
