Swollen Cornea

[SunIsOut]

Pumpkin, neutered male Lhasa Apso/Maltese mix, 12 lbs, 18, minimal vaccination history, minimal medications/toxis.
Diet home-cooked plus plant-based kibble.
BEAM: 7

Had a lot of discharge in left eye. Vet said he must've hit it somewhere. We just moved so I thought he must've hit it somewhere in the night. She "stamped" it, then prescribed Autologous Serum (Sero Repair). I've also been doing a little Tong Ren on him and using crystals to clear the blockages. After one week the eye is much beter.... less discharge, but I notice he's having a hard time seeing me when I bend down to pet him. He also still has the "indents" on his eye, like little holes, and that eye looks much cloudier than the other. (Both have minor catracts) . Took him for a recheck, and vet said his cornea is swollen....due to an ulceration.. She wants to prescribe antibiotics.

What should we do?

What should we do

You may want to consult a veterinary ophthalmologist as your next step.

 

[Dr. Christina]

While waiting for an ophthalmology appointment, I would carefully question your vet (is she the acupuncture vet?) about the treatment. Why the antibiotics for the ulcer. Is it an ulcer? Is she sure? Are there other drugs that may help? It is fine to use drugs temporarily if her extended explanation makes sense.

Next, focus on his BEAM. Is the eye bothering him. Observe and follow his lead for what would bring him joy right now, regardless of his treatments. focus positive thoughts and intentions on him, and use any energy healing you have learned.

Do seek out your holistic veterinary care. Maybe check with an animal intuitive/animal communicator.

Keep us posted,
Dr. Christina

After I read Dr. Jeff's post. I went ahead and got the antibiotic. (She's not the acupuncture vet, but she's a holistic vet... Dr. Masami Seplow. The acupuncture vet seemed quite expensive ..maybe I'm wrong, but the multiple treatments...)
But I will call her on Monday to see if this is what he really needs, because I'm confused myself. Thanks.

Also, do you think visualizing him well will work? I hear that visualization is powerful...but I don't know if that alone will bring healing, or if it's just a precursor to taking action.... meaning, you just have a goal, a vision of what you want, and then you take steps to make that happen...

It will definitely help. However, whether it would work by itself depends on the intensity of the visualization (think deep meditation vs. one where the monkey mind cant settle down), the severity of the dis-ease (starting with the dis-ease label aka "diagnosis"), and Pumpkin's personal susceptibility. For example, eye swelling may mean corneal edema, increased intraocular pressure, etc.

Excellent point! I wonder if these are really the same thing (the things that start the process and the process itself)? In other words, the factors that initiate healing are an integral part of the healing process.

Yes! I think just knowing that visualizing, meditating, praying, etc works is HUGE.

Here's much more about the framework where the power of the mind in addition to our actions initiate healing through mitochondrial mediators:

Yes, I remember reading in Letters From the Other Side, that this person was saying (from the other side), that a visualization is actually a physical, concrete thing... but he said it interchangeably with "happy plans". And he said that once you start this, no one from other side (a negative entity) can thwart your plans. So I'm confused whether or not visualizing itself can attract those conditions to you, or whether prayer and taking action to get what you want (and of course, making "happy pans") can work just as well. Because I don't like visualizing! But yeah, it's also the degree of illness, etc...

Update: I called the vet, and the receptionist said that in her notes,, she put that the ophthalmologic antibiotic was prescribed to "prevent secondary infection." Which leaves me wondering why she didn't address the first Issue? No referral, nothing. And it's taken two visits so far. I don't know what the Sero Repair was far... it did reduce the discharge, though. But I got referrals to two veterinary ophthalmologists, so I'll call to make an appointment.
