Because of the image of the ‘unpleasant princess who wants the best for herself’ picture I was painted, I gave her Platina 200 two doses. She gets a bit better but it does not hold, and a repeat dose makes no difference.
After asking a few questions I realise what Tina is really doing is protecting her safe place, her home, her spot on the sofa. It is not really jealousy (that was what everybody thought); it was about keeping to herself what she always has had. Together with the major picture of general immobility it becomes clear the remedy is Bryonia. One dose in 1M and over the following weeks the growling stops. Bit by bit the child and Tina built a little bit of a relationship, and Tina starts accepting treats of her.
A year later things are still well. The owner is not worried at all anymore about leaving her daughter with Tina. There is no more growling.
In 2014, the owner is worried because Tina is getting older. She does not want to go out and cannot get down the stairs anymore. She is reluctant to go for a walk.
One dose of Bryonia 1 M and a few days later she is up and down the steps as she used to do and back to her normal self - of course this means she is more with the family than just on her little cushion on the sofa.
She lives to 12 years old with no need to repeat the remedy.

For me it is one of the first choice remedies in acute laminitis in horses. Hot and painful hooves, they absolutely don't want to move because of the pain. Works great, also sometimes in the more chronic cases

I use it for those irritating coughs, which start and/or get worse at first movement/first rise in the morning and/or by the first movement of the vocal cords – i.e. Aggravation from barking in dogs with kennel cough, and horses coughing for whatever reason. Works like a dream.
Beatrice Middler
Anything and all that is worse at first movement, especially in the morning. Horses that turn away as you try to speak with them, but they do not move, just turn their head away (laminitis). Very much agree with Liesbeth! Very often in chronic Nux vom or Nat Mur patients as an acute.

A case of a Yorkshire terrier, 11 years old, castrated male with serious chronic cough due to bronchiectasis always needed steroid, bronchodilator and expectorant medicines, sometimes those medicines through an inhaler for survival.
His cough gets worse alternating with soft stool/diarrhoea. Last spring, he got worse with suffocative cough and difficulties breathing. He had pneumonia with high fever. Antibiotics were given. But the conventional treatments didn't help anymore. SpO2 level was down to 88% and he lost his appetite. His cough got worse with first movement on waking and no coughing during the night when he slept and does not move.
After taking Bryonia 30C, he had one episode of watery diarrhoea and then the cough disappeared and he started eating. The next day he looked like a normal dog. He then started eating too much so the dog owner had to monitor his eating. All the staff in the practice commented on how good he was the next day.
