Consultation 28-4-20 for over-grooming cat requiring the continual use of a buster collar. The remedy given was Lac leoninum.
Clues leading to the family and remedy are given in italics.
The words below are the owners exactly as she said them.
Georgie is a 13-year-old domestic shorthair. She was a rescue cat and was the only survivor of a large litter orphan, loss of family mammal. She is very very friendly.
The [previous] owners got a new puppy 8 years ago who went for Georgie excessively. She was terrified – the puppy was on her territory animal word. Georgie’s attack response turned on and she would go for the dog and not back off – ‘I will take your eyes out’ very animal phrase.
Georgie now lives upstairs but will still attack and ‘rip the dogs face off’ very animal phrase. She is ready and has eyes alert all the time potentially animal or alert plant eg solanaceae or mineral eg borax.
What is Georgie like?
Alien or a lizard – sudden attack obvious animal. What is the problem and why are you here?
Four years ago Georgie started over-grooming, beginning with the right fore paw. She will lick until bleeding. Now the hind limbs too and she has to have a permanent collar now.
The stools are rock hard – maybe because of eating fur? We have tried hyos, silica, pulsatilla, carcinosin to no avail.
Tell me more
She bites if we examine her because that is interfering. Otherwise she loves attention. She loves drinking water from a glass. She does this to annoy me potentially animal.
Is she confident?
Yes she is quietly confident. She is not bolshy. If a stray comes onto her territory she will fight and she will not back down. Suggests predator.
Tell me more
She is very very playful mammal and goes mad. She is very changeable and can go from angry to playing to loving to angry really quickly because she has been touched in the wrong place. Sometimes she will scratch yet other times she likes to put her paw in your hand mammal. She will let anyone stroke her and she is not scared out in the street.
Tell me more
She does lots of kneading and she sucks her basket mammal.
Tell me more
Her mother died and the kittens were abandoned to be brought up by humans mammall We got her at six weeks. The dog is scared of her predator.
If anybody is ill or upset does she notice and if she does what does she do?
My daughter suffers from anxiety and depression and if she feels down, Georgie comes and sits on her chest mammal. She lies flat on her and she purrs. Direct skin contact with sympathy mammal. This is her instinct
because she loves us. She is a little angel and is there to protect mammal and make everything okay.
Does she have any fears?
She is fearless. She loves the heat. She is a hunter predator. What is the most extraordinary thing that makes
Georgia the person she is?
She is so sweet and pleasant and playful although she is stubborn.
Prescription Lac-leo 1M twice daily for two days.
First question “is she a mammal?” is easy to answer – highly
likely. My next question is “OK – is this a mouse or a tiger?”. Certainly not a mouse – much nearer tiger. The owner actually said lion, and I have found that Lac-leo is quite a common prescription for domestic cats.
No great changes were noted for the first three weeks but after that she gradually began to improve and now the skin is good.
