Hi there!
GM has been helping me with some sick kitties. They have Panleukopenia (feline distemper). They have been treated with Sulph, hep sulph and then Nux, one of the kitties is crashing, pale, cold (dying)GM suggested I use Camphora in this event, however I don't have any, can anyone suggest an alternative?
Thanks, Krista

Have you got something like Vicks Vaporub? Wave it under the kitty's nose. Anything with the strong smell of Camphor might help - if you don't have Vicks on hand.

Or would another remedy be in order (opium?) anyone???

Sorry the kitten has taken a turn for the worst.
Best of luck, Krista.

carbo veg?

It is suited to conditions where there is lack of
reaction (like Opium); to low states of the vital powers, where the venous system is engorged;
debility of greater intensity than Carbo an.; to children after exhausting diseases; to old
people. Leading symptoms are: Numbness of limbs. Burning pains (as also Carb. an.?both
the products of a burning process). Great debility as soon as he makes the least effort.
Guernsey considers Carb. v. especially suited to cachectic individuals whose vital powers
have become weakened. In cases where disease seems to have been engrafted on the system
by reason of the depressing influence of some prior derangement. "

I was thinking of carbo veg too

HI KKrista,

Yes Veratrum is a good choice. Otherwise, you may try Ars Alb too. VEry often outs them out of their misery in the last stages, so things get peaceful.
All the best.

Thanks to all. GM said only camphor will work. Have tried ver alb as well as ars alb on three of the kittens now deceased. It has quicken their demise. Two remaining. GM also said carbo veg; he has tried, not successful (tends to quicken the disease process). Thank you Lisaann. Did have same train of thought. Picked up Tiger balm ointment 11% camphor. Will let you know if we have any survivors tommorrow.

Krista

Dear Kkrista,

May God bless you for you commitment and courage.

Warm regards,
doctorleela

You could try Veratrum Album if is collapse through loss of vital fluids from extreme diarrhoea and vomiting.
Use a 200 diluted in water [don't worry about the quantity of water.] Just a drop under the nose will work if it's a useful remedy.

Hi All,
Well, NO survivors, just as the last kitten was on her way out I did get a return phone call from a homeopath who could give me the Camphora (arg!!) What a depressing and exhausting weekend! No more accute cases for a while or I will lose my mind (my poor animals have been so neglected all weekend!). Anyway, I did try the Carbo veg on the last one but it did just speed up the disease, so I gave her Ars and she went pretty quickly after that. Can anyone explain to me why the Carbo veg did not work? All of them matched those symptoms (crawling in the waterdish, lose of vital, cold, blue ....and more) yet it did not work, why was the Camphora the chosen remedy her? Also GM said that I might of tried Ferr Phos, because the kittens would go off somewhere cold & dark to die, and were dying of fever (this remedy I don't have either, so this did not help me). Speaking of which, I can't stand not having the remedies I need when they are called for, any suggestions to what I should keep on hand always??
Thanks, Krista

Krita,
Very sorry about the kittens. Lost a few myself the past couple of weeks so know how you feel.

JVolkman gives me too much credit. You are way ahead of me in treating animals. The kits showing on the link JV supplied certainly would be good to have on hand. Unfortunately, whatever you need, you won't have. If you have it, it will be the wrong potency. Until you have quite a pharmacy established you will find yourself ordering all the time. The postage ends up costing as much as the remedy, aside from not having what you need, when you need it! So the kits are a great way to less expensively and more quickly build up an inventory.

I would, off the top of my head, also add to the above mentioned kits Calc Phos 12, Ferr Phos 12, Camph 12, Arn 30 & 200, Acon 12, 30 and 200, Nux V 6 and 12, Conium 200, Apis 30 & 200, Hep S in a lower potency than 200.......well, it just goes on and on doesn't it?

I would also suggest all the tissue salts in 6X.

I have dealt with a small homeopathic manufacturer (in the US) who (at that time and things may be different now) would make up kits with what you wanted in the potencies you wanted. All in pellets and small glass vials of about 100 pellets each. They do not make higher than 200 and most of the 200 potencies are made with the "K" process that some people aren't too fond of. Frankly, I've never had a problem with them and there are those who think "K" is OK. (Boericke uses a lot of "K", too.)

It might be useful to contact them via phone since their web site doesn't list these kits. (Again, I'm not up to date with their web site either, so could be wrong.) What they offered at the time as the best buy was a kit of 67 remedies for $71.00, wholesale price. ( I had a store at the time and used the store name to buy from them.) I never knew of these kits until I had already bought a great many remedies. Had I known it a possibility, I would have taken advantage of it!

If you would like, I could send you their name and number in private email. At the time they indicated they would be willing to make up one kit in all 30's, one in all 200's, etc., of what ever remedies chosen. I'm sure the prices are higher now than when I was still buying from them.

I regret you are so far from me or I would be thrilled to share my remedies with you. Due to our own Ms Information Highway, JVolkman, (thanks, JV!) I was able to attain the entire stock of a former homeopathic vet.......well over 1800 remedies, almost entirely unopened. Plus all his books. Those remedies added to the 400 or so I already had makes a nice collection and yet.........the other night, in an emergency, I didn't have what I needed in the potency required! I think it simply never ends.

Post back if you want the name of the company mentioned.
