My cat is Morticia, 12 yrs old domestic shorthair, 7 pounds, eats mostly raw (frozen preparations like SmallBatch and freeze-dried meat and fish treats), has a good loving playful energetic disposition.
She has a history of pancreatitis -- twice when she stopped eating altogether for many days.
Arsenicum album was the homeopathic that brought her back both times, thank you Dr. Jeff! Her last major episode was April 2022.
I suspect she is having another episode of pancreatitis. This morning she did not join me in bed, as is her usual pattern, or come when I called her, as she usually does.
I found her still in her bed in the living room, not looking her perky self. She has had no interest in food or water, and all day has spent her time near her bed, very lethargic, not engaging. I found she threw up some yellow bile looking stuff.
I never know WHAT brings this on, but last night I did feed her a small late night snack of some raw turkey blend that she's had before. I remember feeling a bit uneasy about giving it to her that late, even though she was asking for a snack (and the meat was in the fridge and freshly thawed that day from frozen). That was the last thing she ate. She typically eats several small meals a day -- about a tablespoon at a time -- with freeze dried organ meat or fish between meals or with the meal.
I have dosed her arsenicum album twice this morning, two hours apart. I used the cup of mixture I had from last year (covered and stored in my cabinet) with 10-15 succussions.
HERE'S THE CRITICAL QUESTION: I forget whether I should wait to see what happens or continue to dose a few hours apart. Of course I'm always anxious to see results and find it very hard to wait it out and trust that the medicine is working. Dose again or wait??
Many thanks,
Pam
