Repertorisation:
• Injuries, hip, combined with
• Sciatica, injury after
• Getting up the stairs agg
• Sciatica worse on beginning of exercise
• Sciatica wet weather agg
Rhus tox is prescribed (desire for milk) 30K twice per day.
He gets very excited the next days and is very lethargic the day after. But there is no change in the lameness.
Of course, this repertorisation was based on one symptom only, albeit with some good modalities, combined with the desire for milk, which is not very unusual for a young dog.
New anamnesis:
He is easily frightened; he will be worried when approached. He hates cats and he does not limp when he runs after them. He avoids lying in the sun and cannot settle in a warm room. He likes milk but it causes his stool to become soft. His eating is peculiar: he will eat a piece of food and walks off then comes back and eats another piece of food; he keeps doing this all the while eating with more and more interest and finished his bowl in about 1⁄2 hr. The more he eats the better he eats. He yawns often. The palpation of the sciatica nerve remains painful, as is the examination of the sacroiliac area. He is still agitated when he wants to sit and finishes by letting himself drop down in the end to lie down.
New repertorisation:
• Fear approached
• Restlessness in a room
• Eating increases the appetite + appetite returns while
eating
• Sciatica, sitting agg (this is the more significant modality for the pain)
• Gen, emaciation of affected parts
Lycopodium covers these 5 rubrics: one dose in 200K
He improves day by day, the muscles reappear and he eats better. One month later all is back to normal.
He developed a temporary itch on the right hind, something he had had when he was young. The itch disappeared without treatment. His owner considers him to be cured. He is nevertheless still fearful in the road, startles from a car engine and tries to run off.
Three months later, some limping reappeared during wet weather. Lycopodium 1M.
Feedback one year later: no more issues.
Note: § 186 (Organon) ..... any trauma whatever its severity will affect the whole of the biological unit and will manifest itself in a large variety of ways .... in such circumstances the body requires the intervention of a dynamic agent to absorb the shock and engage a healing action....
Canine indigestion (J Millemann. France.)
A medium size Schnauzer, 5 years old. He has been vomiting and has had diarrhoea for ten days when he is seen. The diarrhoea is dark, he eats and then vomits. This happens often but more so recently.
‘’He is fearful and has little courage.’’ This does not stop him to aggravate other dogs: he runs up to them barking but runs off when things get serious. He will bite when he panics.
His urine is very yellow and has a reddish deposit.
Lycopodium 5C twice in one day. For 24 hrs he is really quiet and then is cured.
