Re: Taken to Court: Gathering the Reports

I agree wtih Fran, and will add my view from the practical experiecne of animal "epidemics".
A vethom sees animal epidemics all the time - for example the outbreak of something in a herd, flock, aviary, cattery, kennel, or wild animal conservation park.
These outbreaks can be triggered by animals travelling internationaly and/or with the military whose pets have few restritions if any, or just be endemic - or may be a mutation from another specioes (eg cat and dog parvo and corona viruses mutate back and forth, getting more virulent) . A new infection to an area can arrive in a susceptible population and cause a worse outbreak than it could in the place of origin.
So it is wise to use prophylaxis, usually from a nosode, but the experience is this:
The Law of Similars is always important.
A nosode from many years before, is always a LOT better than a recently made one which is too identical to whatever is doing the rounds. Bear this in mind if you wish to avoide the flu. In some cases it helps to combine SIMILAR nosodes into a new one, for example in cats, the nosode of three or four combined upper respiratory infections, (eg calici, herpes, chlamydia) will work better than a nosode from only one of them, regardless which one. This is especially so if one wants to ward off a FIFTH -( NEW) - upper respiratory issue.
I saw a typical case in South Africa where "Plane Flu" arrived and started causing cats to drop dead three months after arrivial, overnight, with almost no symptoms till the night before death. The same was happening in other countries where cats were being imported. Those cats with prevetion by URI 30C from 8 years prior, managed to beat the infection. Those getting current year remedy succumbed, hardly any kittens survived. It took time for the local vet university to figure out what was happening. It was being spread at Amsterdam Intl airport which was (and still is) a transit point where animals are kenneled between flights, rather than left in their crates.
[To give credit, the Airport woked hard to fix the problem, and it was soon under control.]
But the point is that the SIMILAR remedy was the best one both for prophylaxis AND for giving to new imports who had NO detectable symptoms - and to those with whom they had contact.
Xray of the chest showed the entire lung area was opaque. But you had to know to do xrays.
I had 19 cases in my own cattery, plus those cases sent to new homes before I knew there was a problem, thus spreading the epidemic. It was no joke, and finding a genus epidemicus never happened. It was controlled best with the old mixed URI nosode. Op was one option as the cats slept more than usual - that being the only clear symptom prior to a cough the night before death occurred. A few cats got that IN ADDITION.
Mostly when an animal epidemic happens (and it makes no differnece if it is a herd of 5000 or a cattery of 6), one looks for a genus epidemicus as soon as enough symptoms are known to do so, and any animal not responding to that, will need individual remedy selection.This is the besat way to do a mass approach, as it can be impossible to individually select a remedy for 5000 herd members, before the problem wipes them out.
First remedy selection, one uses all available symptoms from anyone in the group taken as if they are one animal, to find the remedy to start with.
Remember that even when allopaths use crude homeopathy - it has to be a SIMILAR remedy and not an identical one:
Cowpox is used against Smallpox. Smallpox will not work against smallpox.
TB vaccine works against leprosy (they are similar organisms) but TB is useless against TB.
Bordetella bronchiseptica (walking pneumonia or kennel cough in dogs, lethal silent pneumonia in cats or sheep) will help against Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough)..similar organisms. But do not try to use pertussis to prevent pertussis.
You CAN use an identical nosode for prevention if you use enough of a heavy duty protocol, but it always is better to use a SIMIALR nosode or remedy if one can be found - as it also can start treatment till a genus epidemicus can be found.
By the way:
Genius = very clever ...some organisms truly seem to have a genius for doing harm.
Genus = a category such as the category of remedy for an epidemic - genus eidemicus.
Namaste,
Irene
