Hello,

I had my cat on a harness and we were about to go outside when i accidentally shut the door on her tail. She was hurt and scared. I went to squat down to talk gently to her when I accidentally hit a bag that made noise and scared her to run into the apartment and under the bed. I still had the leash and harness on her and couldn’t let go of the leash handle because it would chase her and scare her even more. I saw she was making a run for the catio window which means I can’t reach her once she’s out on the bridge and I held on to the leash and she freaked out because she was restricted from being able to jump up and out the patio and everything got worse. I had to pull her down with the harness which petrified her, scratched my hand but I managed to get the leash off of her. She ran into the laundry room and is hiding behind the water tanks. I feel so bad because she looked at me like how could I hurt her. I tried really hard to speak softly to her and apologize and offer her treats. I also have offered her stress stopper in a churu treat , but she will not come out. I think I hurt her tail, but I don’t think I did bad damage. I have to assess. I want to give her Arnica. Would this be an appropriate homeopathic medicine for this kind of situation?

I feel so badly. Obviously, she’s feeling stressed out and scared and doesn’t trust me. And she’s also in pain.

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear about your kitty's reaction to this situation.

It sounds like she may be more freaked out than physically hurt.
I have to assess. I want to give her Arnica. Would this be an appropriate homeopathic medicine for this kind of situation?
Yes. Also consider Aconite (for the fear).
 
Oh!! Aconite!! I gave her arnica an hour ago. When can I give her aconite? I left 5 drops of stress stopper in the laundry room where she’s hiding in hopes it helps her. Is it okay to give aconite after arnica and stress stopper? I hope she will trust the harness again. 🥲 thank you, @Dr. Jeff
