Would appreciate any advice on the following symptom re choosing a simillimum for our beloved rescue dog: Sally invariably throws up the contents of her stomach when she is given anything cold to eat. This has happened after a tiny bit of vanilla ice-cream (won’t make that mistake again!), after a spoonful of raw milk yogurt (I now let it warm up), and after any kind of cold raw meat. She consumes the proceeds again when it has had a bit to warm up and has no problem with it then.
Might “throwing up after cold food” be a SRP symptom for a dog or is it pretty general? I have given Sally an occasional dose of Phosphorus pretty successfully based on “cold thrown up when it warms in the stomach” (though of course it is not exactly that), plus her always searching out the sunny spots to lie in, and on her cheerful, outgoing personality, but am wondering whether there is something I am missing. For the moment she is a very healthy 5+-year-old, with us for almost 4 years now, but she recently had her mandatory 3-yr rabies shot and there may come a time… TIA, Teresa (Northern VA, USA)

I could tell you this can be specific for her as I have two dogs and
neither of them generally throw-up after eating anything they like
that's cold. The boy might throw up raw food, but the girl rarely
has a problem. I'm wondering if the milk products are more of a
problem for her than the meat.

THANKS, Ann! She tolerates a daily spoonful of raw cow’s milk yogurt almost daily and also adores a tiny piece of raw goat cheese now and then. She did fine on pasteurized milk stuff (in very limited quantities, of course) back when we still used those.
She LOVES the same things she throws up when cold, in fact, she has rarely met any food she didn’t like—well barring celery and olives. Re olives: our Tunisian born and bred rescue dog LOVED olives and our Tunisian guard/gardener often obliged her tastes, though I had asked him not to because of the salt—but I always knew because of the pits. t

I have in Synthesis 9.1

stomach-vomiting-cold food, from: ars (1)

I do remember phos as I thought that was a remedy for my mother as
she was always throwing up. My girl dog is on Phos constitutionally
and she doesn't throw up any cold food, but my boy dog will throw up
cold raw food (i doubt he'll do that with cooked food) and the girl
will go back and eat it EEEWWWW My stomach is turning. Acutely,
the boy is Ars.

Hi,
It fits several constitutional types, for example Ars, Puls, Sep, etc.
So just include approriate rubrics, options being:
STOMACH - COLD - food - agg.
GENERALS - FOOD and DRINKS - cold drink, cold water - agg.
GENERALS - FOOD and DRINKS - cold food - agg.
STOMACH - VOMITING - eating - after - immediately after
STOMACH - VOMITING; TYPE OF - food - undigested
It's not unusual though - especially in carnivores who are designed to
kill and eat prey warm.
I'd say Phos is not indicated - as usually Phos is ameliorated by cold
food
Also you say the food is vomited immediately - not waiting for warmth,
and is re-eaten when warm. That's not phos - though Phos will often be
"first aid" for almost any vomiting.
I would not confuse the two, they are separate rubrics.
"warmth amel" also points to Ars, Sep, Puls. etc
and on her cheerful, outgoing

One can repertorize the constitutional type and it's as involved as a
simillimum. I consider a simillimum what's needed for illness, and a
constitutional-type remedy what's needed to build resistance and health
when not ill.

Severalof my email clients ask me t odo this for their dogs/cats etc
before they get ill, and like the results.

Namaste,
Irene
