It's important to understand how shock is a major part of non healing. Shock can lead to collapse ans unconsciousness.
With medium to serious injuries or traumas, shock is always involved and this needs to be one of the first things to treat. With mild injuries, the injury remedy will cover the mild shock.
Shock is often discerned by a kind of numbing. It’s one of Nature’s blessings as it means there is no pain or even awareness if they are about to be eaten! They freeze.
As in the horse leg injury in the previous lesson, shock can prevent the natural healing process. It started the INSTANT the shock was released.
Aconite 200c is needed to bring them out of the shock. One dose may be enough or you may have to repeat it, either quickly or hours or even days later.
You will see an improvement after the dose, that may not last, showing another dose is needed. The symptom could be physical or emotional, such as the numbing/freezing.
If the animal has lost consciousness, then I suggest dosing every 5-15 mins until recovered consciousness.
Shock is difficult to treat successfully, when it has gone on to produce pathology quickly. Often that pathology will be fatal.
It’s much more beneficial to treat it at the time of the shock. And it’s better to treat for shock even when in doubt. Animals are much more sensitive than we are and can go into shock very easily.
When my Manx cat Axel was six months old he came in the front door one evening looked at me and collapsed on the floor , lying there panting and breathing heavily, his eyes were protruding a wee bit. I started panic as it was 6.30pm and the vet was closed, so I had a good look at him and noticed a small strip of what looked like black grease down the middle of his back
I immediately thought he's been under a parked car and probably got knocked getting out when the car started to move.
I touched one of his back legs and he definitely didn't like.. so off to the emergency vet we went...
Was charged an arm and a leg, no broken bones and I was given pain killers for him.
Animals are far more sensitive than most humans so suffer from fright and shock much more easily. A healthy animal can naturally recover from mild or medium frights. For unhealthy animals and after severe fright, help is normally needed.
When shock is not treated, physical problems can develop, that can be serious or fatal.
Fright can come from loud noises close by especially sudden noise like fireworks and thunder. The natural inclination for animals is to run away as far as possible from these noises. This in itself will help to dissipate the fright. However, most domestic animals are contained and so fleeing is not an option.
Shock can also come from a poisonous animal bite, an injection, a fall, an accident, an injury, surgery, etc. Normally shock is from a sudden event.
The best remedy for shock is Aconite possibly, repeated for a few doses.
Injuries, bites, etc will need extra treatment covered elsewhere here.
A dog was presented with advanced parvo after veterinary treatment hadn’t had any effect. My treatment didn’t either and the dog died. After examining all aspects of the case to discover why I hadn’t been successful, I asked the person what the local conditions were prior to the parvo.
She told me there had been the usual grand annual display of fireworks. I asked her what the prevalence of parvo was locally. She told me the vet had said it’s always really bad at this time of year.
Sadly, I didn’t know that at the time of treatment. Shock can be fatal!
A cat underwent surgery to remover his claws (a very painful condition banned in most countries) immediately after receiving two vaccines. He went into shock that caused fatal renal failure.
Collapse can come from a variety of causes, including from the consequences of chronic conditions, from pain, from shock, from vaccines, after surgery and a host of other causes. When the collapse is sudden and unexpected, with no known underlying reason, then Carbo veg, Arsenicum album and Camphora can help depending on the symptoms.
Aconite 200c is a good remedy to start.
If you know the cause, go to that section on this course.
If the patient is unconscious, with barely perceptible pulse or breath, then Carbo veg is the first remedy of choice.
Safety is important here, so make sure the power is turned off and you and the animal are not near the cause of the electric shock.
Where it is possible, and without causing extra stress, a wonderful and old recipe for this is to bury the victim! Obviously the head should not be buried! This earths the body, draining away much of the effect of the shock.
A horse lying on the ground should not be moved or even encouraged to get up, as the more the body is in contact with the earth, the better.
I doubt a cat or dog would allow themselves to be buried! But if it’s possible, getting them outside on the bare earth will help.
Start with Aconite for the shock. Then move on to Phosphorus. This helps to earth the patient. Frequent doses, perhaps alternating, as soon as possible are advised.
