Page 9 - Autumn 25

Temperature: He dislikes heat and sun and when it rains,
he dislikes walks. He always seeks the cold and shade.
Sleep: he snores loudly, making moaning (groaning)
sounds. Normally, he sleeps on the cold and hard floor but
for the company he would like to sleep with the owner in
the bed. However, his wife does not agree with this.
Senses: Furthermore, he seems to have problems with
judging distances. He does not walk through half open
doors or narrow spaces even if he easily fits.
Sexuality: He is castrated and he shows no signs of sexual
interest or mounting behaviour.
Body Problems
Coughing & sneezing: Eider is sensitive to air-conditioning
and gets a spastic cough without expectoration and the
owner says that it is because it dries out his airways.
Aggravated at night and only inside.
Fur: He always loses a lot of hair.
Lameness of the left hind leg, which occurs during walks
and is better after the walk and never occurs after resting
or in the morning.
Fur & Skin
Generally nice dense and shiny fur.
He had an injury some months ago on the hind left foot
with a penetrating piece of wood that has not been
removed completely and has caused problems since then.
He licks and bites the paw intensively until there are
hematomas & abscesses with watery bloody pus. It was
treated with bandages, antibiotics and corticosteroids but
without any effect, until the last bit of wood had been
removed.
Analysis of the case
As the important symptoms, due to the intensity or being
rare or extraordinary I selected:
• Extreme fear of thunderstorm
• Anxiety and crying immediately when left alone
• Hiding when he is afraid
• Killing cats (for a dog with very soft and loving
character)
• Not passing a space which is wide enough for him to
enter, problem of judging distances
• Snoring loudly (on inhalation), groaning during sleep
• Desire for bananas
Looking at the Kingdoms, the case seemed to be
dominated by sensitivity and emotions which calls for the
plant kingdom. Weeping, noises, incorrect judgement of
distances, affectionate, overexcitement …
The result of the Repertorisation showed a number of
remedies which were very close. It comes into the mind
that there are 3 remedies of the Solanaceae family in the
first 6: Hyos, Bell, Stram and all of them are acute
remedies.
The most severe problem is the fears and the dynamic
Eider shows in that fear is: it comes very sudden and if it is
over, he returns to his normal loving and relaxed being.
This is typical for the acute miasm and confirms one of
these remedies.
One symptom was missing in my repertorisation:
The desire to kill cats.
This rubric does not exist, not even hatred of cats exists.
But the desire to kill exists in various rubrics:
