Homeopathy for Stroke in Dog

Posted By Maggie (Idaho) on 03/09/2016

"My little dog fell and had a stroke. Right after she fell she was walking around so I knew nothing was broken, in fact, I thought everything was fine. A few minutes later she had the stroke and at first I thought she had died. She got stiff and then couldn't walk, her head turned to one side and then she was limp. She's 15 years old so I just held her and waited for her to die.

She stayed with me so I went online to see if there were any home remedies and found one that used homeopathy. I didn't follow the online remedy exactly but used what homeopathic remedies they had used and I had on hand. She wasn't eating so I gave her electrolytes every hour but not at the same time as the homeopathic remedies.

The second day was about the same except that I spaced the homeopathic remedies out every 3 hours. The third day I gave her 1 dose of arnica around noon and one of aconitum in the evening. The fourth day she got 1 dose of arnica. From the beginning, she seemed to be cold so I put a dog sweater on her and even a heating pad under her bed and several layers of towels and covered her with a baby blanket. She also couldn't walk. {C}When she started eating again, she had diarrhea so gave her yogurt and sweet potatoes and winter squash since I didn't have pumpkin. It helped a little but she didn't want to eat so I added a little canned dog food to her yogurt and sweet potatoes and the diarrhea came back. It finally stopped when I gave her nothing but dried dog food. A week and a half later she's back to the way she was before her stroke. You would never know anything had happened to her.

11 am - arnica montana 200c, 6-8 tiny pills
1 pm - phosphorous 200c, about 6-8 tiny pills and arnica again
2 pm - aconitum napellus 30c, 1 pill
5 pm - arnica
8 pm - aconitum
11 pm - phosphorous
1:30 - aconitum

"You can buy the homeopathic remedies at a health food store or at the vitamin stores online. Just type homeopathic remedies on your computer and you'll find a lot of results.

Dissolve the pills in a tiny bit of water and give with a syringe without the needle. The tiny round pills take a while to dissolve but the flat pills dissolve fast. Good Luck."

"Maggie - you mentioned you found a site that used homeopathy remedies as an alternative treatment and that you modified the remedies. Can you tell me where you found the original posting/website?

I have a dog that just a stroke as well that sounds very similar. He has underlying conditions as well (diabetes and cushings).

Thanks!

"It's been so long ago that I'm not sure where I found the information but found this in my bookmarks and I think this must have been it. "Miraculous recovery from a stroke and paralysis" at https://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/AnimalWellness/Shasta2 If for some reason you can't access the site, let me know and I'll copy the article for you. Good Luck."

"My shorkie(shitzu/yorkie, 15lbs) had a stroke on Saturday. She refuses to eat or drink since Monday. I am looking to follow your regime of herbs/food. As I get the herbs you suggested… should I be using the amount suggested? I don’t want the doctors prescribing chemicals for her."
