A Veterinarian Uses HTA to Help Chessie the Cat

I prepared Ann for the worst and gave Chessie a very poor prognosis based on past experiences with other acute renal failure cases. I only expected a few days of life and recommended euthanasia when the time was right. We kept Chessie on intravenous fluids and did all the known supportive therapies I had been taught in school. But mostly, I started the first of several sessions using HTA Techniques with her. I used several different techniques taught in Carol's classes and Chessie responded with remarkable improvement and a sparkle came back into her eyes. She soon regained her appetite and her feisty personality began to come back. She swatted me a few times to let me know when she had had enough HTA for the day.
After about three weeks, she developed respiratory distress (a complication from anemia, fluid therapy and vascular damage). Radiographs also indicated a possible mass in her chest. I continued to use HTA Techniques in person on the weekends and I did distance healing during several weekdays. She again improved markedly and her respiratory distress almost completely resolved. She continued to do well for about two more months.
Next, she became constipated and could not defecate well. We treated her medically and she improved somewhat but was still not going regularly. Ann called and said it had been several days since she had last defecated. I came up that weekend and did the Ultrasound and Magnetic Clearing Techniques and within five minutes, she was digging in the litter box. Overnight, she defecated several times all over the house. (No worries, anywhere was fine with Ann).
She did well for a few more days but then developed neurological problems
from the toxin buildup in her system. We knew the time was right and
euthanized her at home. She was a remarkable cat. A strong, brave, courageous
cat with a heart that was limitless. I learned so much from her throughout
the experience. I will never forget her or the experience I had and
the healing power of Healing Touch for Animals®. Thank you so much,
Carol, for showing me your compassionate teachings and for helping me
fulfill my heart's desire to help animals. I am eternally grateful.![]()
