This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Any spirit alcohol will do - I typically use vodka or brandy.

Stopping medication can in itself create symptoms, which makes it confusing to differentiate from remedy reactions. Unless the patient is in immediate risk, I prefer not to withdraw their medication until it is clear the underlying disease is improving.

OK, great thanks !, I will need to get some of it. If it is ok with you, I prefer to do the trial Friday afternoon because I do not want to leave him alone in case a grand mal fit occurs. I will keep you posted.

We have a 30 ml glass bottle with dropper to prepare the mixture, so we can prepare 25 ml of water with 5 ml of vodka plus to pellets of Opium 200 CH, right ? Thanks for your advice
 
Rudolf last decade
Yes that is the way to prepare it. Hit the bottle firmly twice on the palm of the hand once the pellets have dissolved, then place 1 drop only in his mouth.

Hello, 24h have passed since we gave Rudolf the Opium 200CH and he has experienced the following changes: ears and head seem to be colder (they were hot before), he seems to be calm and sleepy, yesterday night he didn´t bark at male dogs during the last walk and with the female dogs as always, his head and ears still shake when he rests with his head and legs towards the front. Another thing is that the spools today are a little runny and they were hard the days before, I am not sure if this has something to do with the treatment but I just wanted to let you know.

Please advice how shall we proceed, shall we continue with the drops ? Is there a problem if we hit the bottle with the mixture more than twice, my husband hitted it yesterday some more. I think that we may be seeing improvements. Great thanks. We will wait for your advice.
 
Rudolf last decade
I forgot to ask; we tried to give him the drop under the tongue, but it is a little difficult to do it, does it matter if it missplaces a little ?
 
Rudolf last decade
haha no in the mouth is fine. I often have trouble myself even getting a single drop, some dogs and cats end up with more of a squirt lol.

Ok that is promising, it sounds like the remedy has done something at least.

The more hits the more powerful the dose, so the stronger the aggravation. Two hits is sufficient.

I would wait a bit longer before redosing - aggravations can last 3-5 days so we don't want to aggravate him too much.

OK thanks. So we don´t give him any more drops until you tell us to do so. Today morning his stools were better looking and his ears are fine, although not as cold as yesterday. We will keep you posted.
 
Rudolf last decade
Dr. Kempson, I was sort of surprised to see your response today because I thought that may be you would be resting, but now I realize that you are one of those persons that cannot stop from helping others and that is admirable. Thanks for being there (but you need to rest also)

Hello, 3 days from the first drop of Opium 200 CH have passed and Rudolf is fine. He has been a bit sleepy and very calmed during the day, but it is also getting very hot over here, so it is normal. His ears and head are not hot, standard temperature. He has been acting very calmly with male dogs, which is really unusual and with his friends female dogs he is acting in a respecful manner. His stools are not 100% ok but are getting better. I think he is resting some more during the night, at least he is not waking us up until 5:15 in the morning... Today morning he seems to be more active than these past days, but as I said head and ears temperature is fine. Please advice how shall we proceed ? Thanks,
 
Rudolf last decade
This is very good news so far. Keep watching and waiting until there is no further improvement, or he begins to relapse in any way even minor. It would be good to avoid another convulsion, and you will need to remain alert for signs his health is going backwards.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Ok, thanks. So if we see signs that things are going backwards do we give him another drop of Opium 200 CH and advice you or would it be better to wait for your response ? I forgot to say that ears and head still shake a little.
 
Rudolf last decade
Ok repeat.

I just want to be cautious so we don't aggravate him, since an aggravation might look a bit like his normal symptoms.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Make sure you only do 2 firm hits of the bottle.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Ok, thanks
 
Rudolf last decade
Dr. Kempson,tomorrow will be day 10th since Rudolf´s last fits, fits lately repeat every 10 to 13 days. Today ears are a bit warmer, he seems to be more reactive to male dogs and also more nervous during walks. Sometimes we are not able to predict a fit. If this happens, shall we give him a drop right after the fit so that a second one does not repeat or do we wait until he comes down ? Thanks
 
Rudolf last decade
You can give him a dose the moment you believe the fit is coming on, or even during the fit. He doesn't have to swallow the remedy, it just needs to go in his mouth.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Ok thanks

Hello, Rudolf had another fit this evening at 3:00 a.m. while he was sleeping on his blanket. 11 days have passed since his last fit, so frequency is still the same (10 to 13 days). He didn´t come to advice us before the fit as usual. It lasted about 1,30 mins and it was a grand mal although not as hard as previous ones. Mouth was closed and foam coming out of it; over the left side; eyes open. I gave him a drop of Opium 200CH when I was able to open his mouth right after his fit, then a Diazepan enema and he recovered very well (better than ever); there was no passing and bumping into things, he recognized us all the time and he went back to sleep right after drinking some water. This was great because fit did not repeat.

I also want to mention you that yesterday afternoon we noticed that something was going wrong. He had some problems coordinating his legs, did not want to play nor walk much and he started to do strange things with his tongue. He also wants to give us many kisses in the hands, legs, etc., and his eyes sometimes blinked in a funny manner (but we knew it was not funny at all). So we gave him also a drop of Opium 200 CH around 21:00 p.m. before he went to sleep (and before the fit). Right after the first drop his stomach moved a lot and he wanted to go out; stool was a little runny (it was normal before), so we think that the drop is affecting his stomach some how. We went back home to sleep but there was a lot of noice outside because of the Barcelona football team winning an important European match, so he got a bit nervous but got slept around 23:30 p.m. Then we all woke up at 3:00 a.m...

Today things seem to be fine, although he is a bit tired and sleepy.

I just wanted to share the experience with you. Thanks,
 
Rudolf last decade
Ok this is a really good first step. The remedy is moderating his general health, making him stronger and more able to recover, and even slightly moderating the strength of the convulsions themselves. That is very promising.

I would suggest getting hold of Opium 30c and 1M as well, but continue with the 200c as you have been doing.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
OK, I will get the Opium 30C and 1M pellets and give him the drop of 200C only if we see signals of a fit.

About 75% of the fits occurred during low pressure days (rain and/or thunderstorm) and we may say that even with crescent moon. But this may just be an observation.

This night was very thundery and with a lot of rain. Rudolf had bad sleep and he was a bit afraid during the morning walk (at 5:30 a.m.).

Great thanks
 
Rudolf last decade
You are looking for any sign of ill health, including mental or emotional. Opium is one of our primary fear remedies - ailments from shock or fear, where the fear of the fright remains. So if he remains timid or fearful, we need to maintain the treatment or change the potency or dosage in some way.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
OK, we will observe him today and tomorrow because they are going to be rainny and thundery days and will report his behaviour to you. I will try to get the 30C and 1M pellets.
 
Rudolf last decade
Dr. Kempson, we have realized today that maybe Rudolf´s ears and head shake according to the movement of the heart, which is very hard when he lays down with his legs and head towards the front. May it be tachycardia ?

There were huge rainny thunderstorms last night and today and Rudolf is a bit nervous specially because of the intense rain. Regards,
 
Rudolf last decade
Is he afraid of rain?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I don´t really know, maybe he doesn´t like to get wet because he doen´t like to take baths either. During these last days there was a very heavy rain and thunders, so I think he was really afraid of the big noices on the roof, windows, etc.

The Opium 30C and 1M pellets are ready and I am going to get them in a few minutes. Regards,
