I offered to rehome the dog, Sandy, as the elderly lady was moving into a house where pets are not allowed. She had recently rescued Sandy from the RSPCA – having been found living under a bush, and needed feeding and love for a week, before she allowed anyone near her.
Anyway, Sandy is a two year old cross breed. After having her for a week, I took her to the vet for a general medical as I thought she was limping and very out of breath. Turns out she had a very enlarged heart, a heart murmur and fluid in the pericardium. The vet doubted her own diagnosis as the dog was so young, but on further xray examination her diagnosis was validated.

Sandy was sent home with pills (to be continued for the rest of her life) and to return in 10 days to ensure that she was making progress. I was very clear with the vet, that I would keep the pills and try other methods for the 10 days and come back for the check up. On her follow up, fortunately the same vet was on duty. She couldn’t believe her own findings – there was so sound of a heart murmur, and no fluid in the pericardium.

All I did was Hung song on the heart and lungs, going into the specific atrium/ventricles of the heart, focusing on the valves, and then ensuring that the trachea and bronchioles were fluid free. Five minutes a day for 10 days!!!
