that takes her in the car (which she doesn’t like) and to the vet. Since her lameness she has become quite subdued; she became a limp rag doll. She struggled to get up the stairs; each step took several seconds. She also stopped jumping on my shoulders.
She will not drink on her own; we have to physically give her a drink: she wants warm water out of our hands. Otherwise she will not drink. She lets us know when she wants a drink. She will drink out of a glass of water that stands next to our bed but she has woken us up in the night for a drink of warm water before.
She doesn’t like black patches on white sheets (insects?). She can’t stand ants; she will run inside and start to lick herself. She is very talkative; you have to answer. ‘
In the surgery, Deidre doesn’t come out of her basket even though it is left open during the whole of the consultation. She makes a few meagre attempts to look out of her basket.
Solution
It is clear there is an issue with territory and the other cats in the garden. This is a normal cat thing but Deidre appears to be specifically sensitive about it. There is also an unusual alternation: when she reduced the over- grooming recently, the elbow symptoms have got much worse:
EXTREMITIES - PAIN - rheumatic - alternating with - mental symptoms cimic.
A further repertorisation confirms this remedy: (I translate the desire to go in the cat box by desire to wander, travel and change)
Cimicifuga 200C, two doses resolved the arthritic pain in the elbows. She also became more philosophical about the cats outside. She took the remedy once or twice per year for the elbow disease until she was 15 years old. She died from kidney insufficiency. Because one of the owners was very ill at the time, nobody had noticed Deidre had gone downhill.
Jacques Millemann
A very highly bred Japanese Spitz.
She always had very silent seasons but enjoyed the many trips to important males for mating. When she was ten years old, at the end of her last pregnancy, she suddenly yelped out and hid under the library. A second yelp follows a bit later and she lost a bit of blood, amniotic liquid and green discharge. Her abdomen was hard and she was panicking. By putting the hand on the abdomen, it was possible to feel the contractions, which appeared to go in the wrong direction.
Two granules of Cimicifuga racemosa 15C calmed the bitch after a few minutes. She went to her bed and produced 4 live pups in 2 hours.
