Animals Healing

Doesn't Always Show Up on a Test

2006-12-11T14:05:00.000-08:00

I’ve been doing my work with animals for over eight years. There have been many a time when I tell the client what I “see” as the concern for a health problem. For instance, I may say that the liver shows up, and the client will respond with, “Oh, no that’s not the problem. We’ve done all these tests at the vet’s and the liver is fine.” My response is, “Not everything shows up on a test”.Using a recent case to illustrate my point, about a month ago a new client called from Canada. As you may know, I prefer NOT to be told what the issue/symptoms are until AFTER I have had an opportunity to do the body scan/communication with the animal. With this client’s cat I definitely got the impression that the cat was not feeling well and the kidneys were showing up. When I shared this with the client, I was told that the tests done by the vet show no physical health issues. The client was certain it was behavioral and explained how the cat had started peeing outside the box.

As you can guess, I replied with, “Not everything shows up on a test.” I also shared with them that when the kidneys are not totally healthy; one of the ways that can show up is urinary infections, crystals, stones, etc. Kidneys are the root of so-called urinary issues.

After two sessions (energy work), the cat was using her box AND the client became aware how much happier, playful the cat was. It was then obvious to the client that their cat had not been feeling well prior to the sessions. Sometimes clients don’t realize their animal has changed (due to not feeling well) until they are well again and are then reminded, “Oh, yea, I forgot, this how she used to be”.

Whatever the issue may be, please keep in mind that not everything shows up on a test. Therefore, if your animal is having health concerns and the tests all come back normal, consider working with me to get clear if it’s something that is not showing up on a test or is it an emotional concern. Please keep in mind that just because a test says that everything checks out fine—does not necessarily mean that that is indeed the case.

Gandy, the dog, who now jumps in favorite chair

2006-11-01T12:56:00.000-08:00

Sharon, a client, in a small town in Oklahoma called to schedule a healing for her sister’s dog, Gandy. Sharon has a sanctuary—she cares for many animals and now she was concerned about her sister’s dog as well. Many of the animals at Sharon's sanctuary have improved with the healings. She has told me, “You’re the first person I call”. Although her sister is not open to this work, Sharon scheduled a session for Gandy because she knew it would be helpful.

Sharon had noticed during a recent visit at her sister’s that Gandy was having difficulty moving. Although he had been somewhat stiff over the past year, it had increased recently. But what really got Sharon’s attention was that Gandy was now also showing little interest in things around him.

A few days after the first healing, Sharon said she made a trip to her sister’s as she was anxious to see how Gandy was doing. He seemed happier and more energy. And though there was improvement, Sharon wanted to schedule a second healing. As Sharon said, “I so believe in those second healings”.

I agree--based on my eight years of experience with healing, the average number of healings to help animals heal/recover from emotional or physical ailments is two sessions. Most clients will notice a subtle improvement after the first healing, but it is usually the second healing that really seals the deal so to speak--where it is obvious to the client that their animal has recovered.

It was incredibly rewarding when again Sharon called a couple of days after the second healing to say that Gandy was running around when she visited the other day, and “He jumped up in his favorite chair which he hasn’t done in over a year!” Yea! Gandy.And “yea” to Sharon—what a gift she gave her sister and her dog, Gandy.

I suspect most of us animal lovers are often overwhelmed with all the abuse and concerns for animals in this world. One way to help animals is to support organizations that are dedicated to helping animals. One of those organizations that I appreciate is the Doris Day Animal League. Being a member gives you a way to make your vote known. As a member, they regularly send their members petitions addressed to your senator or representative regarding legislation for animals. All I have to do is sign and date it, and return it an envelope that they provide. It’s so easy…I can be contacting my representatives without the hassle of finding out who they are, calling or emailing them.

Currently they are working on legislation regarding the antifreeze bill—addressing concerns about the toxicity for the environment. And I fear we have all heard of stories where animals have died from licking antifreeze.

If you want to support legislation regarding animals but have difficulty writing or calling your representatives, then being a member of the Doris Day organization can make it easy for you. You will also receive a publication, Animal Guardian, from them quarterly. Check them out at www.ddal.org or call 202.546.176l.

Be well,
Bonnie

Hank – the cat who is now “cat like”

2006-09-22T15:12:00.000-07:00

Animals, like humans, experience stress. Often their stress is from a past trauma. Finding a loving home can definitely help, and sometimes it is all that is needed to erase the fears, sadness caused by past experiences. Yet for some it is not enough. We can understand this when we think how some humans who have experienced trauma in their past, such as an abusive childhood or a car accident, or the trauma from fighting in a war—even though it’s no longer happening to them, they are still being affected emotionally. Though the abuse is no longer happening, even though they are in a safe environment now—sometimes it is not enough and they need outside help to be free of those memories.

Susan, a client from Wisconsin contacted me the other week to say they had a new member in the family—Hank, a cat who had been a long-time resident at a humane society. Although he been in their loving home for a few months, Susan sensed “something was off”. We agreed that he might need some help to let go of past trauma. A weeks after two healing sessions for Hank, Susan emailed me the following:

“Right now Hank is looking out the door very alertly, jerking his head to see whatever is moving out there. Before he would just sit there passively. He's acting more "cat like" now instead of withdrawn. He’s running around, batting at the air, playing with the puppy. He came on a walk with me outside, followed along with the rest of the gang. He seems a bit more chipper and is interacting with us. My husband even noticed, saying that Hank has ‘come out of his shell’. Things seem good!! Thanks!
Susan and Hank

I am so happy for all of them. We all need help now and then.

Be well, Bonnie

Grass - The Vegetable of Choice

2006-08-06T09:57:00.000-07:00

We have all been told to eat our vegetables. Dogs and cats like them too. In fact, asparagus is cats’ favorite. Dogs and cats have always eaten grass—their vegetable of choice. With domestication, they are often unable to get it. Often animals will start chewing houseplants in an attempt to get their greens. It’s not good for our plants and not for the animals either especially since some plants are dangerous for them to be eating. People often believe that grass is not healthy for their animals. In my onion, the only time it is not good for them is if the grass has been chemically treated or the lawns nearby have been.

Cats especially need the benefits of grass to aid in digestion—without it they are more prone to hairballs, vomiting, and other digestive issues. I received an email from a client the other day about her cat:

“I had forgotten to do the grass that you suggested. I remembered on Monday and dug up a little patch of about five stalks. He was out of the closet before I could even set the container on the floor. "Mowed" is a good word for what he did to the grass.”

When you eat your vegetables, share with your animals. And also consider providing them with what they would be eating in the wild—grass.

Remembering Others

2006-07-31T18:17:00.000-07:00

The past few days it has been intensely warm; oh, let me say how it really is--HOT in this part of the country. Living without air conditioning, I have a great appreciation of others who do not have air and that includes animals.

Consider all the animals that live in buildings--the factory farm animals. I cannot speak for all of them, but I am certain that most, if not all, do not have airconditioning in those barns. And they do not have windows to let in air. As an example, a chicken farmer whom I have witnessed has approximately 63,000 chickens in one barn and all they have to regulate the heat are large fans. Today I have four fans going in my small home (approxly. 1500 sq. ft.) which I share with my cats, and we are struggling to keep cool. Imagaine, what these factory farm animals are experiencing who are surrounded with others (all that body heat of others) inside an aluminum type building--no windows, no access to the outdoors, no airconditioning.

I have decided I have no right to complain about the heat, and I need to focus on what I can do to help. Therefore, I'm keeping the birdbath filled with water plus a large tub of water that MAYBE the deer will use. Of course, make sure that your own home-bound animals have plenty of water and brush them to remove excess fur.

I have another suggestion--if you are not a vegetarian, consider supporting the organic farmer versus corporations (factory farmers). Buy organic eggs and meats as these animals are usually allowed to roam and have

Swiffer Wetjet - Dogs Beware

2006-07-25T06:55:00.000-07:00

I received the following article from a client of mine that I want to pass on to you in hopes of any more animals encountering troubles with household items.

Subject: Warning for Pet Owners..................

Subject: Please read

Important...please read.

"5-year old German
Shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely
healthy until a few weeks ago, so a necropsy was done to see what
the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog
had ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside and when he's
outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into something
unknown was hard to believe.
The man started going through all the items in the house. When he
got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning
which stated "may be harmful to small children and animals." He called
the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning
agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the
ingredients. (actually he was told it's a compound which is one
molecule away from antifreeze).
Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the
solution, then licking it's own paws, it ingested enough of the
solution to destroy its liver. Soon after his dog's death, his
housekeepers' two cats also died of liver failure. They both used the
Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors. Necropsies
weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a lawsuit, but he
asked that we spread the word to as many people as possible so they
don't lose their animals. This is equally harmful to babies and small
children that play on the floor a lot and put their fingers in their
mouths a lot."
PLEASE, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE BABIES, SMALL CHILDREN OR OWN A PET
PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON!

THE CHALLENGE

2006-07-19T10:26:00.000-07:00

Calling All Animal Lovers: Take “The Pet Store Challenge”
June 8, 2006
WASHINGTON -- "The Pet Store Challenge," a consumer action campaign from The Humane Society of the United States, will give pet stores an opportunity to be open and honest about how and from where they get their puppies. The Challenge, which takes place from June 15 to September 15, 2006, will also empower consumers to make a difference in the lives of millions of dogs who are victims of puppy mills.
Stephanie Shain, director of outreach for companion animals for The HSUS, and a leading puppy mill expert explains "Our goal is to stop puppy mills, the leading supplier of 'inventory' to pet stores. Pet stores often deny that they get their dogs from mills. We want to give them a chance to 'come clean' and prove it. By enlisting animal loving consumers to help implement the challenge, we are giving people a chance to save animals, and hopefully put puppy mills out of business."
Background:Most puppies sold in pet stores come from puppy mills -- factory-like facilities, churning out purebred puppies in large numbers. Puppy mills look to make a profit; commonly disregard the dog's physical and emotional health; and do not adhere to sound breeding practices. The result is often sick or dying puppies who suffer from genetic, mental and physical health problems that are not always immediately apparent to the consumer. Thousands of "breeder" dogs live a miserable existence in horrific conditions without hope of ever being part of a family.
The Puppy Mill – Pet Store Connection:Most pet stores are adamant that they do not support puppy mills and that the dogs they sell are strictly from "reputable breeders." However, many people who purchase their puppy from a pet store can end up with a sick or dying animal. With some research, they will learn their puppy was indeed from a puppy mill. For those who were lucky enough to purchase a healthy dog, it is important to keep in mind that purchasing that dog makes room for more puppy mill dogs raised in horrendous conditions. Every puppy mill dog purchased ensures that the industry continues to thrive.
Take The Challenge:The HSUS wants to challenge pet stores by giving them a chance to tell the truth and prove how and from where they get puppies. Anyone can participate in the challenge by taking these three easy steps:
Visit www.StopPuppyMills.org and print out two copies of the Pet Store Challenge form between June 15 and September 15.
Take the questionnaire with you to a local pet store, and fill it out based on information given to you during your store visit "interview" with an owner or store manager.
Mail the completed form back to The HSUS before September 30, 2006 to: The HSUS Stop Puppy Mills Campaign, 2100 L St., NW Washington, DC 20037, or fax it to 301-258-3081. Information can also be sent via email at www.StopPuppyMills.org.
An Accurate and Fair Pet Store Visit:
Be honest: Explain you are taking part in The Pet Store Challenge, an effort designed to find out from pet stores where they get their puppies. Do not be confrontational. You are simply gathering information. Many stores claim that animal welfare groups fabricate problems associated with pet store dogs.
Be prepared: Have two copies of the form on hand in case the owner/manager wants a copy. Bring a pen and fill it out/take notes as you speak with them so you do not forget any facts.
Be courteous: Do not visit the store during peak business hours. Find times when they are less busy so that they can take time out to speak with you. You may want to call the owner or manager in advance to arrange a time to talk about where they get their puppies.
Be diligent: If the owner or manager refuses to take The Challenge, record any information you can (there are some questions that only require a good look at the store) and still return the form to The HSUS.
Shain adds, "The HSUS is sincerely grateful to any consumer who wants to take the time to collect this information. A short visit to a pet store and filling out a brief questionnaire can truly save animals' lives. We are also very excited to give this opportunity to pet stores. We want them to prove that they do not support puppy mills. The truth will be priceless."

What Your Vet Won't Tell You

2006-06-19T17:04:00.000-07:00

Here are five points listed in an article a client sent me from AOL Money & Finance that you may be of interest to you.

1. "Good thing you love Schatzi like a son. His care could cost as much."

After a New York City taxi struck Jessica Malionek's dog, Mojo, flinging him 30 feet in the air, she spent $4,000 for veterinarians to perform emergency treatment and then life-saving surgeries on her beloved dog. "It was like they were treating a person," Malionek says. These days veterinary medicine can be every bit as sophisticated as human health care — and the costs reflect it. Animal lovers spent $19 billion on veterinary care in 2001, the most recent figure available, up from $7.2 billion a decade earlier, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. And per-visit costs are skyrocketing: Between 1991 and 2001, the average cost of a veterinary visit for a dog nearly doubled, from $50 to $99. For cats, costs rose even more precipitously, jumping by 107%.

Why the steep price hikes? Chris Green, an attorney and member of the American Veterinary Medical Law Association, says vets are happily obliging owners who want to keep their pets alive at all costs. That means paying up for the latest high-tech procedures, such as feline kidney transplants and CAT scans. There are also more aged pets today, which require more care.

2. "Vaccinating your pet may do more harm than good."
For years the primary reason for seeing a vet was to get your pet vaccinated against a host of diseases ranging from distemper to rabies — either with individual vaccinations or "combo wombo" shots that could cover seven separate conditions.

Indeed, annual vaccinations have been an economic bulwark for many vet practices, but some veterinarians say they're not only unnecessary, but they can actually be harmful in some cases. Marty Goldstein, a veterinarian in South Salem, N.Y., says he sees a range of vaccination-related reactions in animals, everything from cancerous sarcomas to epilepsy. Another reason to think twice about certain vaccines: The immunity provided by some of them can last well beyond a year, even as long as the pet's lifetime, Goldstein says, negating the need for some annual shots.

Both the AVMA and the American Animal Hospital Association now say vaccinations should be assessed yearly and tailored to an animal's age, health and lifestyle. For example, an indoor cat with limited exposure to some diseases may not ever need certain common vaccinations, says W. Jean Dodds, an immunologist and veterinarian with Hemopet in Garden Grove, Calif.

3. "I have more complaints filed against me than a used-car lot — not that you'll ever know about it."
When she picked up her kitten, Pumpkin, from the veterinarian after a routine spaying, Mount Pleasant, S.C., resident Marcia Rosenberg was stunned to find the cat nearly comatose. Soon Pumpkin's body was wracked with seizures, and her stomach swelled. Rosenberg rushed Pumpkin to another vet, who saved the cat, but the distraught owner called her state's veterinary board to complain. Told that the board had no procedure for alerting consumers about disciplinary actions taken against incompetent vets, Rosenberg mounted a successful campaign to have such actions posted on the South Carolina veterinary board's web site.

Tracking complaints against vets often requires a bit of detective work. Some state veterinary boards list disciplinary actions against vets, while others do not. And complaints typically aren't disclosed until a board investigation and judicial ruling have determined a case of wrongdoing. On her own, Rosenberg says she was able to find that the vet had previously had his license suspended in Ohio and since then had more than a dozen complaints against him in South Carolina.

4. "Sure, I can do root canal on your pup — real dentists are for people."
When John James, an academic adviser in Los Angeles, took his geriatric cockapoo, Amber, to his veterinarian for a chipped tooth, the vet told him his dog needed a root canal and that he could take care of it. Amber died during the procedure. James's lawyer later learned the vet's canine dentistry training came from a weekend course. What's more, elderly Amber should never have been a candidate for the intensive procedure.

How do you know whether your pet is in the hands of a skilled specialist? The AVMA lists 20 specialties for veterinarians, ranging from anesthesiology to dermatology. Legitimate specialists have done graduate work in their specialty and been certified by an industry medical board. Some vets may claim a "special interest" in an area, meaning they've taken some continuing education, but they aren't necessarily certified specialists, says Peter Weinstein, former medical director of Veterinary Pet Insurance in Brea, Calif.

If your pet needs a specialist, check the vet's educational background and certification. Also, ask how many specialized procedures he performs annually. Having a "special interest" may be fine if the vet has enough experience.

5. "Surgery's a cinch. It's the overnight stay you should be worried about."
If you think your pet will be tenderly nurtured through the night after surgery at a veterinary office or hospital, think again. Many vets don't staff their offices overnight, so it's important to ask about what happens in the wee hours.

Laura Ireland Moore, an animal law attorney in Portland, Ore., says she represented a client who took her dog to the vet after stitches from a routine spaying came undone. The veterinarian repaired the stitches with metal sutures but neglected to put a cone over the dog's head to protect the wound during an overnight stay. The office was unattended through the night, and by morning the animal had chewed through the sutures — as well as 15 feet of its own intestines. The agonized dog had to be put down. The moral of this unpleasant story: "You should definitely check if anyone will be on the premises overnight," Moore says.

If the facility doesn't have a night attendant, or if you don't trust his or her credentials — a late-shift babysitter may or may not be a vet or even a vet technician — you should ideally find a facility where a licensed vet stays over, Moore advises.

Jingles, a 14-year old cat

2006-06-15T15:21:00.000-07:00

Last week Deb contacted me about her cat, Jingles. Deb had heard about me through an acquainctance of hers, and since nothing via the medical/vet world was helping Jingles, she decided to contact me for an Intutive Reading & Healing for Jingles.

I advised her (as I do all clients) that I did not want to be told the symptoms upfront--that I first want to get what I can from the animal before healing from the human regarding the issues. During the initial consultation (Intuitive Reading), I was aware of pain in Jingles' left shoulder. Deb explained that Jingles had been limping on the front left leg for quite some time. Even though it would seem that there was something wrong with the leg, I was certain that the root of the problem was that shoulder. I also "saw" that the pancreas was not functioning well, and Deb confirmed that by telling me that the symptoms were loose stools and vomiting. Deb also told me that Jingles would cry out at times as if in pain, had lost weight, and was pooping outside the litter box. Going outside the box is usually considered a behavioral problem by most, yet I often see it connected more to not feeling well.

About three hours after the first Healing for Jingles, Deb called to tell me that she was already witnessing that Jingles was feeling better. Jingles was out and about with the family and was moving better. It was evident to Deb that Jingles was feeling better. She said that Jingles appeared "longer". I explained that often when animals are in pain, the body constricts. Once the pain is gone, the animal relaxes; hence, the body unfolds so to speak--loosens up; thereby, appears bigger or longer.

Since talking to Deb after the second Healing, Deb said that Jingles is no longer crying, is happy, has only pooped twice outside the box in the past week, and the limping has greatly decreased. It may take another Healing session for Jingles to heal completely, but at this point we're just going to wait and see if Jingles continues to heal without the need of a third Healing. Everything has so greatly improved from where Jingles was at a week ago; we're all feeling happy and confident that all is going to be well. It was so delightful to hear Deb talk about how happy and healthy Jingles is these days. I am so happy for both of them.

Dangers of Vaccinations

2006-06-09T08:40:00.000-07:00

When I am working with a client's animal, I always inquire about the use of vaccinations--whether that client is coming to me with a health concern or behavioral issue. (Often what looks like a behavioral issue is connected to health. ) Most clients confidently tell me that they vaccinate yearly. They are expecting that I will be pleased with their responsible actions for their animal. I then proceed to caution them about this practice. Clients are usually skeptical, alarmed in me advising to pull back on vaccinations. We have all been so indoctrinated about the need to vaccinate repeatedly. As I tell clients, most of us received vacs when we were young, and we do not have to have them repeated--why do animals? There are several books written about vets who concur with me, and one such book is, Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats. Below is an article that you may find of interest.
Be well, Bonnie Illies, Animal Intuitive & Healer

Class Action Law suit
Chicago law firm of Childress Duffy Goldblatt, Ltd. Announcement!
You may be a party to a potential class action lawsuit arising from the misrepresentation of the need for vaccinations for your pets.
If, within the last four years, you have paid for any of the following pet vaccinations without receiving adequate disclosure, you may have a claim for damages. The vaccines includethe following:
1) Annual vaccination for canine distemper, parvovirus, and feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calcivirus (Scientific studies indicate that repeat administration of these vaccines provides no beneficial effect.)
2) Corona virus vaccination. (Scientific studies indicate dogs over 8 weeks old are not susceptible to this disease.)
3) Leptospirosis or Lyme disease vaccination (Research indicates these diseases are rare tonon-existent in Texas and many other parts of the country.)
4) Feline Aids vaccine, Feline Infectious Peritonitis vaccine, or Giardia vaccine (Scientific studies have shown these vaccines to be ineffective.)
If you have paid for any of the above vaccinations in the last four years and would like information concerning your rights, please send an email to:

The Law Firm of Childress Duffy Goldblatt, Ltd. of Chicago, Illinois, has agreed to investigate and pursue a potential class action lawsuit arising from the misrepresentation of the needfor pet vaccinations. If you have paid for pet vaccinations in the last four years without adequate disclosures, please email the Firm at petvaccine@childresslaw.net.
Every year over 30 thousand dogs and cats in the U.S. die from adverse reactions from unnecessary vaccines. It has been ten years since the article first appeared in the Journal ofthe American Veterinary Medical Association entitled “Are we Vaccinating too much?” in which and Dr Ron Schultz stated, “Clients are paying for something with no effect except the risk of an adverse reaction”.
Since that time the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Association of Feline Practitioners, and the merican Animal Hospital Association as well as twenty- twoschools of Veterinary Medicine in the U.S. have endorsed reductions in the numbers and frequency of vaccinations recommended for pets. More and more research has confirmed that most vaccines are unnecessary and potentially harmful. And yet 90% of the Veterinarians in the United States have ignored these guidelines, and continue to give vaccines, which have been proven to be unnecessary and potentially harmful.
My efforts in the last six years to promote change have been met with frustration. I have written to every State Board of Veterinary Medicine in the U.S. I have been before the TexasState Board six times. After I appeared before the Texas Sunset Committee, a group of 12 Senators who over- see the State Veterinary Board, they ordered the Board to crack down on unnecessary vaccines. They have not. The Attorney General’s office in Texas has agreedthat it is unlawful for a Veterinarian to obtain a fee by the misrepresentation of the benefit or necessity of vaccines. And yet the misrepresentation of vaccines to the public and the harming of our pets continues unchecked.
We need your help. I feel that a class action lawsuit is the only way pet owners can get fair and ethical treatment for our loved ones.

Animals Healing 6/8/06

2006-06-08T12:01:00.000-07:00

What a great way to start the day--two clients called this morning to say that their pet was feeling better. I never get tired of hearing about the joys of a client who is seeing their animal heal. Over the past seven years working as an Animal Intuitive & Healer, I have the pleasure of helping animals with health and behavioral concerns. There is great satisfaction in helping both the animal and the humans they live with.
Often what looks like a serious concern can so easily be turned around with a good diet and understanding what is at the root of the problem. Nothing is going to heal if you're only treating the symptoms. As an intutive I will "see" what organs are not functioning well or where there is joint pain, etc. Often I do not "see" the symptom; i.e., I will "see" that there is a blockage in the left side of the spine yet the client believes it's the back left leg because their dog is limping. Often--too often--the symptom is just that--a symptom and not the root of the problem.
One of the two clients who called this morning saying their dog was better had been concerned because they were aware that their dog was lethargic and more alarming was that he was "leaking"--incontinence. As I did the energy work (healing), I could "see" that there was a blockage in the spine. And most of us know, nerves need to be able to send signals to our body... What a wonderful way to have the animal heal--releasing that blockage versus surgery or drugs which would be focusing on the bladder as the problem; consequently, causing other potential health concerns.
Be well, Bonnie
