CASE STUDY : Remarkable resolution of PANNUS. So this is 'Dog' as she is affectionately known! A beautiful GS that came to me for Zoopharmacognosy after being diagnosed by her Vet with Pannus (autoimmune disease resulting in blindness normally considered incurable). Dog was knocking into walls etc and needless to say, she and all her human family members were finding this rapidly progressive blindness extremely distressing (deteriorated within 3 weeks).  They took Dog to the vet whom prescribed an immunosuppressant to be applied topically which Berenice and her family administered as directed. Berenice then contacted me to see if there was anything Zoopharmacognosy could do. After consultation with our Team Vet Annett, we decided it would be safe to offer plant extracts to see how/if they could help. Annett said that the key to resolution was to redirect the immune response. Within 10 days of the Zoopharmacognosy session, Dog's eyes became fully clear and to date her sight is fully restored. Berenice says: "Before zoopharmacognosy her coat was completely dry and dull and she was so skinny you could see and feel her bones. In a few days she’s basically back to normal with her eyesight fully restored, and her personality is bigger than ever , and even the vet is shocked, her words were she’s never seen any recovery that quick."
It is important to note that the initial session starts the process of resolution in motion. It is the willingness of 'Dog' to engage and the dedication of her owner over the following week or so to continue offering the extracts that creates the best possible outcome - which happily in Dog's case was her eyesight being restored.
​So well done Team Dog! ​

This is Missy - a lovely gentle Cockapoodle that lives in the Burren and took the long trip up to Sligo to get some help with itchy skin - particularly her paws, vulva and ears. She engaged very quickly and was very clear in her selections and her MO was also very clear. She would come over to me, see what I had to offer, select and then go back over to Jayne to process until she was ready to check out another extract that I had for her. Early on in the session she selected Coconut oil and then proceeded to purge. Gut infections are often the cause of skin irritation and purging is a useful way of removing unwanted contents from the dogs stomach. We discussed removing cereal from Missy's diet which can often exacerbate gut infections and inflammation. Whilst she did select for inflammation (Peppermint & German Chamomile), interestingly enough she selected for Arnica C02(often selected for emotional and physical trauma) and initially orange blossom floral water followed by Neroli essential oil (often selected for grief). She processed for a long time (leaning on Jasmine ab as a support) on both and kept returning ever so often for a top up. During the follow-up offering Missy selected a topical application of green clay (often selected for fungal infections) on her vulva, anus and paw and itching ceased for a whole night which is unheard of! This is only the start of Missy's healing journey but I am delighted to say that Jayne has reported a significant reduction in itching and a lot done but more to do. The healing power of plants!

​​This wonderful picture of Cosmos was sent to us from Sinead - a participant on the Canine Level 1 online wksp. Cosmos's digestive system was struggling to maintain health shown by mucus and blood in his stools. Sinead had wormed Cosmos and taken him to the vet for treatment but the symptoms continued and deteriorated further.  The Spirulina sample sent out in the Canine Workshop Workpack was demolished by Cosmos and after self-selecting Spirulina for a week his stools were healthy and lacked any mucus or blood. Another lucky dog whose guardian trusted his ability to self-select! You can see Cosmos's other pack members all below awaiting their turn at the 'Spirulina Bar'!
