Abstract

Background: The clinic case is about the therapy of an elderly dog, 16 years old, suffering from cough and chronic bronchitis. The dog had been suffering from respiratory ailments and cough and treated with traditional therapy, glucocorticoids, bronchodilators and antibiotics, but without improvement of symptoms; at this point turned to homeopathy, as the last therapeutic alternative.

Aim and methods: The patient was seen and monitored over a year with blood tests, chest X-rays in double projection and underwent an ultrasound of chest and colour Doppler echocardiography to rule out heart problems and secondary pulmonary hypertension.: The improvement of the disease has occurred only with the use of homeopathy, to be precise with the use of Spongia tosta, which perfectly covers as remedy the respiratory involvement of the subject, typically also, in auscultation, audible noise. The patient was seen and controlled within a year; in addition to the diagnostic picture, a video with a commentary of the owner was made, who expressed his satisfaction with the quality of life of his dog.

Results: The dog to the amazement of other colleagues found great benefit from homeopathic treatment, so much so that, on a weekend in the evening, he had a relapse and was recommended to stop the homeopathic remedy, and the veterinary doctor not having been informed, was treated in the emergency department with cortisone. There has been a net deterioration of the clinical situation, which has stabilised again with the resumption of the assumption of the remedy itself. Results: After 1 year, the dog lives well with his problem; there was also an improvement in the X-ray image of the pattern of the bronchial tree, with an increase in the areas of air in the lung; compared to the previous data sheet, blood tests and echocardiography were normal.

Conclusions: Homeopathy, therefore, has full right to become part of the future medicine, and it integrates seamlessly with the diagnostic tests and medical procedures that should not be seen as something excessive, but rather reinforce the quality and the effectiveness of homeopathic therapy with clear evidence of its action.
