In summer of 2014, there was a heavy thunderstorm, and my dog was playing with me at the porch. All of a sudden, a terribly loud thunder stroke down and it created such a terror the dog ran away from me right way.  When the storm was over, he didn’t come back. I searched everywhere but didn’t find him. So, the next day. And the third day. The event made me a little puzzled because a few months ago the dog was hit by a passing car and got his rear leg fractured. That should be a much bigger terror to an animal. But in just a few days, he was back to his normal mood, eat and play as before. Why this time he was so much frightened.

By the evening on the third day. He came back a different dog. He would not eat or drink. I tried every possible way, including bring him to the veterinary, acupuncture and herbs, he would not eat or drink. He looked so thin in the end that he looked literally just a skin covering the skeleton, and he was so weak he couldn’t be on his feet. None of us expected he would survive.

On the 9th day, I carefully scrutinized all the details of the day he disappeared, trying to get some hints. Suddenly I realized it was the storm, the rainfall, that he got outside, not the thunder. It’ was the damp. Then I quickly searched my herb cabinet and found a small bottle of manufactured herbal tea for humidity strike and injected into his mouth. In less than an hour, he pooed a big brown watery stool and showed a little energy, trying to stand up. I was so excited and gave him another one a few hours later. Within a few hours, considering his 4lbs, I actually gave him about the dose sixty times bigger than to human being. Then he made another smaller watery poo and began to eat, not much though. The next day he began to eat much more. The 3rd day almost eat normally. Finally, thanks to TCM, he was saved after not eating for twelve days. Only because I was so sad, I didn’t take picture under such a stress.

A dog doesn’t understand medical theory of human being and yet it is the theory that save him, only when it’s right.

I helped another big dog in 2018 at my patient house. I shall update it sooner.
