Treating our pets can save thousands at the vet. Last night this sweetie was having some gastro problems. She seemed to be having trouble pooping, but running around a bit frantic. She wanted in, then back out again. Once she came in for good, she was restless. She’d lay down, get up, go to another spot, and repeat.
I was looking for a remedy for restlessness with stomach troubles. Living on property, you never know if they’ve gotten into something they shouldn’t have or eaten an animal. I wasn’t ruling out eating some type of toxin.
I decided to go for Arsenicum album 30ch, 1 dry pellet.
My first thought was Nux vomica with its digestive upset and bashful stool.
When I factored in a possible toxin, digestive upset with restlessness, I decided on Arsenicum.
I went with a 30ch potency as I wasn’t 100% sure if this was the right remedy. The more confident you are you have the right remedy, the higher you can go in potency.
Shortly after, she settled in and she was comfortable the rest of the night. She seems to be back to normal today, so we’ll just keep an eye on her.
We inspected her stool to ensure there was no blood in it and didn’t feel this was an emergent issue.
If it was, you can guarantee I’d take her to the vet. I am not advising this to replace vet care.
Learning Homeopathy for basic first aid, acute injuries and illnesses can be so helpful to minimize problems before they worsen. The same principle applies to humans as well.
I always recommend having a basic kit on hand since most issues happen in the middle of the night, especially with kids.
