I hope both of you will be around to read this post as I feel this case too big for me... The carbo veg 30c did appear to improve mentally. I will try to describe the events of last night and new symptoms.
When I got home after work, I was initially excited because the cat had only one episode of diarhea, had eaten a small amount that afternoon and she seemed in fine spirits (had a lot of energy, explored her surrounding, no difficulty moving -amazing for her age). I let her out of her kennel. Over the course of the evening I observed her going from "fine spirited" to restless and unconsoluble; her diarhea progressively got worse again. (Her symptoms appear to be worse in the morning and then better until 4 or 5pm when she starts to decline, hitting a peak at about midnight or 1am). He diarhea at midnight last night was a large amount of water, brown thin stool and shredded yellow particles. I assume it made her feel nauseated as she threw up 3-4 tbsp of bile almost immediately after. She was so unhappy when I put her to bed last night that I had to let her out of her kennel, the restlessness did not start to eleviate until about 4:30am. She refused food all night and this morning. Last night and again this morning she has been "pawing" madly (almost kneading)at the ground while she attempts to drink (the water dish is elevated, hanging from the door of her kennel) yet the water level does not go down, so she doesn't appear to actually drink anything. I spent a good deal of time with my nose in the books last night and see indications for both (but especially ars). I do also fear "hopping" around to different remedies too quickly. I also feel the pressure of trying to "stabilize" her as I am going away for the weekend. Your suggestions are greatly needed here, THANKS!!

Hi there,

I repertorised the case with these rubrics
Diarrhoea, eating after
Diarrhoea, night
Stool, forcible, gushing, projectile
Stool watery
Stool, involuntary
Thirsllessness
Restlessness

The medicines that came up high were ofcourse arsenic, china, apis, pulsatilla, and phosphorus. Out of these the medicine that has caught my attention is APIS . It covers the generals very well. And considering you said that you suspect a system failure(renal?) and the low renal output, it seems to me a good option that can be tried.

Thanks for taking the time on this case Dr.B. Provided no major changes it looks like a good place to go.

I'm wondering why one wouldn't first repeat the carbo veg since it had such a great effect? And I wonder if it had been repeated as soon as the relapse began if the cure wouldn't have continued on into the night?

Snoopy

Snoopy, I thought of repeating the carbo veg, but it only really made her more content it did not have effect on the diarhea which is the big thing we need to stop asap. She doesn't appear too weakened at this stage (I have been giving her subQ fluids) but the longer it goes on the weaker she will become from fluid loss. But as always, it it something to consider. Thanks

Another funny rule added by Dr. Leela in homeopathy: So if China and Ars did not work separately, the remedy is China Ars. (Said Dr. Leela

It was Dr.MAS who screemed here that homeopathy has no rules or principle on any point. See that if well selected remedy is not going to work then how an unselected remedy will work. As said here.

Both China and Ars cover her sympotms very well.

Chia Ars is proved seperately and not singly. You can't give China Ars instead of China or Ars. Which rule of homeopathy is applied here.

Secondly, on this thread six remedies were prescribed by different member on the same symptoms. All said TRY. Is homeopathy is a TRY Method.

Each member used the formula:

Your prescription is not wrong but my prescrption is correct.

Dear Kkrista,

Are you familiar with Hering's Law? It tells us that if we give a remedy and the physical symptoms don't change but the mental picture clears up, we should stay with that remedy because we've hit the center of the case and the rest will follow suit in short order.

Of course, there may be exceptions; I was just curious why Dr. B chose not to repeat the Carbo veg.

Snoopy

Dr Hussain, I assume you are unfamiliar with the excellent work of Jan Scholten. He has written two books on the components of remedies (Natrum, Calcarea, Phosphor etc) and how it is possible to prescribe a remedy based on a combination of features of two base elements.

Using his method, I have successfully used remedies such as :

Ammonium bromatum to cure Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Calc-phos to cure malaria.
Vanadium met to cure anxiety disorder
Beryllium met. to cure nausea of pregnancy
Ammonium mur. to cure nausea of pregnancy
Magnesium-fluor to cure acne
Kali-mur to cure depression
Oxygen to cure hepatitis
Natrum phos to cure stammering
Kali-sil to cure sinusitis, hayfever, frequent colds.
Cobolt met to cure fear of ghosts and vampires

In fact, some of Kent's lectures on materia medica discuss remedies that were unproven, that he had just combined their respective elements.

HI Kkrista,
This is a tricky one.

One one level the she seems better mentally.

BUT what is more significan and of pathological importance is that the diarrhea may have reduced but she has begun throwing up and is not able to drink water, seems agitiated doing it. Did I get that right?

I wouldn't be too satisfied with this reaction. So Snoopy, I don't think here the mental improvement is of significance unless sustained by the physical one. We often make this mistake in pathological cases that someone is better mentally and completely ignore that the physical deterioration is carrying on.

I'd be happier to see the action of China Ars.

Warm regards,
doctorleela

Dr. Mujahid, since David has answered you, I don't think I need to say more.
IF you find this whole thing funny, please enjoy the joke!
