Started last Monday when she had difficult getting her hind quarters
up and I thought she had an injury - gave her Arnica and symph - Tuesday
improved. Wed listless, not eating. Thursday morning very bad - tooker her
to vet - very high temp, some fatty lumps round neck area - given
antibiotics and anti-inflammatory. Given Bell 200, Apis 30. Friday
- seemed better at first. Given Apis 200 - seemed to improve after this
until Monday night. Took her to new vet Friday night - took blood, temp
105. Periods of staggering. Mon temp down. llumps gone bloody looking -
one seemed to have burst - puncture wound in middle. Thirstless, breath not
smelling, no appetite, listless.Monday night given Ars 30 - all night from
Midnight - staggering, wandering about house, panicy, scared by what was
happening. Tuesday - given Apis 10M - improved after each dose. Monday
night about 12 - seemed to be starting again - repeated Apis 10M - all night
restlessm, staggering, wandering about house, scared by what was happening.
Wednesday morning - better. Given Calendula and tissue salt for sking -
lumps have gone into ulcers with craters - round neck and top body area.
