I have a 15 year old male Maltese/Lhasa mix; neutered; 15 lbs, very few vaccinations over his lifetime (mostly rabies); very few health problems (a couple of UTI's, 1 ear infection); very little medication given. On a raw diet for the past 3 months. Low EMF household. Mostly avoided flea medications, and heartworm prevention.
His BEAM..... he's always been possessive of me. Will bark, bite, or grow if people get close to me while I'm sitting or lying down, or if they just pass by my room or talk to me from afar. For a variety of reasons, I'm really cracking down on this now. He's always been very spry; people can't believe he's 15. His appetite is good. His mood is up and down. Sometimes he's happy but sometimes I notice he just can't relax. We sit on the bed together often and he looks up quickly if I make a noise. He just seems like he's constantly checking on me.
I want to do homeopathic treatment for his anxiety. I have recently consulted with a pet trainer and we're working on his aggression. I did an acupressure session on him last week that GREATLY increased his joy and energy. But he's still a little anxious. I also do crystal therapy on him once in a while. I tried Ignatia for a week (diluted 1 pellet in water and put one drop in his mouth) but that didn't seem to do anything. I'm wondering if I should give more Ignatia and if so, how much, and when?
He's also currently battling an ear infection, but that seems to be getting a little bit better.
Thanks in advance!
