Minutus

I forgot what that means - succuss? And when you refill do you mean just with the water or another pellet? Do I still tap the bottle 10 times and then give i teaspoon directly from the bottle?

Yes, succussion is the striking of the bottle or jar. "Tap" doesn't really do it for me:) I prefer to rap it pretty hard on my palm, often with a towel in my palm to pad it, or on a phone book, etc. But the key is consistency; find your method and do it the same way every time. That said, perhaps a little more violent stimulus will get these doses working better for you:)

Yes, Shannon meant that you should rap the heck out of the first bottle, then discard all but a bit - maybe a teaspoonful, or a tablespoonful - and refill the bottle with fresh water and rap it again. Keep count of the succussions and dilutions. You can also just succuss the first bottle the usual ten times, and then put a teaspoonful into another glass of water and stir ten times. That's simple "plussing", and what many of us do regularly with LM (Q) potencies - following Hahnemann's method from the Sixth Organon. Maybe try that first, and if you want to go stronger, do the one with more dilutions and succussions.

julie—it is just a pill. if the condition is that deep in the body or that painful,
a stronger potency is needed to match the energy. remember in homeopathy we
are not only matching proven symptoms, but also intensity of condition.

Okay. That's what i will do until I receive the 200c in the mail. And then I should give that just once, correct? A little nervous about that as I have never given anything that potent.
Julie

Well, it is definitely better than when it first happened a few days ago. So I am not sure it would be considered deep. He does not seem to be in pain, but it is sometimes hard to tell that with a dog.
Julie

It is often difficult to assess the potency to administer.
You will have to use your judgement based on the information available to you.
You can stay with the lower potency giving a dose daily, or more.
Or you can order the higher potency on the chance that he has not seen much
improvement by the time you get the remedy. Many personal remedy collections
begin by ordering remedies ‘just in case.’

I just wanted to thank everyone for your help with my dog. I never needed to use the 200c dose. It is a week later and my dog's limp is gone!
Thank you so much again!

So I posted awhile ago about my dog's limp. It is now back without any injury that happened. I am giving him rhus tox again. This is becoming a chronic problem, as it is probably the fifth time it has occurred. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to prevent it from happening again. Should I be in touch with an animal homeopath? If so, which one? I had been using someone when he was younger that I will not use again because of personality difficulties.
Thanks much,
Julie

A limp in the absence of an injury may mean Lyme disease, as I discovered in my dog this spring. Better have him/her checked out.
Peace,
Dale
