Hi there Dr. Khalsa,
I’ve a collie bitch (Brandy) who has been scratching for a number of months and nothing actually seems to assist her. I rescued her almost six years in the past and he or she may be very timid due to previous experiences however as soon as she has determined that an individual is pleasant she is extraordinarily submissive and rolls over for her tummy to be scratched.
I retired from farming on the finish of Could final 12 months and Brandy discovered it very troublesome to depart the farm and stay like a ‘regular’ canine. She in all probability began scratching her tummy round September however by November had additionally chewed her fur off her legs and her pores and skin was turning gray and leathery, ultimately extending to her tummy as effectively.
There’s a spot on her entrance leg that appears fairly like a chunk or a boil (approx two cms diameter), however doesn’t emit blood or pus – the scab-like floor is pink. It clearly causes discomfort when squeezed, but it surely doesn’t burst. This bump has been there for a while and I’m questioning now, whether or not it’s a chunk and the poison has unfold round her bloodstream as in every single place she scratches (aside from her tummy) has small, scab-like bumps (approx 1cm) not shut collectively, however the scab appears to be effectively connected to her pores and skin.
The vet assured me that it isn’t mange or fleas. I’ve been utilizing hypericum and calendula cream to attempt to cease her itching however it’s not very profitable though I believe it helps a bit.
I attempted Bacillinum after I thought it was a fungal an infection, however that didn’t assist – I had additionally tried Sulphur and Psorinum after I thought it is perhaps mange. A homoeopathic vet really helpful Rhus Tox, which she thought had helped however I didn’t after which prescribed calc carb and pulsatilla as a result of she actually does tie in with the ‘pulsatilla’ kind. The peculiar facet of this, is that her legs are actually rising hair however she is now chewing the highest of her again legs, round to the flanks, so her tail and surrounding has misplaced hair – she nonetheless scratches her tummy an terrible lot, but it surely appears to be like as if the hair could also be rising again elsewhere now. She can also be bald and gray round her eyes. She has additionally been given Apis and Ledum.
I’m wondering when you’ve got any concept what this may very well be and any treatment that would assist my poor little canine?
Yours hopefully,
Kay Hamza

I instantly considered her as a Pulsatilla structure and he or she additionally seems to have responded to Pulsatilla. I’d advocate Lycopodium 200c thrice in someday. Then wait 4 days and deal with her with Pulsatilla 200c as soon as a day for 4 days then each different day for 20 days.
