Holistic Cure for Snorting Dog?

Live Holistically is a multi-author site.
This post was written by: MichelleVan

Watch the short video clip here

My four year old black Labrador Ani, is snorting when she wakes up. I’m pretty sure it’s allergies, but it happens all year round, so I’m afraid she is allergic to my cat.I’ve tried lots of stuff. Homeopathy - a complex remedy for the Rocky Mountains as well as some classical homeopathy for allergies and respiratory issues.We’ve taken Flower Essences, both me and the dog. I’ve tried a new diet, new types of dog treats, Reiki and acupressure. None of it has worked.Today we go to the alternative holistic vet. I’ll post tomorrow to tell you what he found and what I’ll do.

This post is part of a group project over on Grow Your Own Writing Business.

We’re asking you to share a problem, concern or challenge you’ve faced, and how you solved or approached It. And there’s a prize too!

We’ve deliberately made it open ended, so it can fit any topic and any blog. Approach it any way you like - e.g. work related, family related, serious, humorous, philosophical or anywhere in between. Feel free to use the Shared Answers 2007 graphic.

Click above if you’d like to participate or read more about it here, on Writing Thoughts.  Both sites are part of the project.

P.S. The quality of the video sucks. You’d never know I once made a professional movie.

Hi Michelle
Thanks for joining in in our Shared Answers Group Writing Project.

Just a reminder that both posts need to link to both Grow Your Writing Business & to Writing Thoughts - http://www.writingthoughts.com/?p=183 , as it’s a co-hosted project. :)

Love the video - a perfect way to illustrate your dilemma. I look forward to reading your solution.

And thanks for helping us spread the word about the project - much appreciated.

Hi Michelle,
I’ve just listened to the tiny snippet of your dog snoring.
Her uvula is loose and so closing the throat, which means for some reason, someone in the house is having power issues.

Who is your dog’s best friend?

Humm Carol. That is interesting. When she first started doing it I wondered about the emotional component, but I haven’t thought about that in a while. We’ve got a three year old. yea there are power issues. She is probably also our dogs best friend. Who should I tap? All of us?

Good post! I thought about my own little terrier mix as I was reading about your Lab.

It would be good if you could use yourself for all 3 of you.
1. At your KC point:
I am Ani x3
Then proceed as if you are doing the snorting (I know, as if!) so: Even though I have this terrible snorting thing that I do in the mornings….I’m a great dog.
Then tap all your points including both sides of your wrist..back and front.
2. At your KC Point:
I am K x3
Even though I think the snorting sound that Ani makes is great, and I know it upsets mom but I don’t care….’cos I’m a great kid (child, whatever word you would normally use.)

Tap all your points plus your brow chakra about 10/15 times.

The KC point: I am Michellex3
Even though I’m letting this noise get to me, I love and accept myself anyway.
Tap all your points including your wrists.

We may have to go into this in more detail, but that will start the healing.
