As an animal communicator, I’ve
faced skepticism from many people who are not familiar with what
I do, and I understand this. However, over the years my skills
have played a big part in the healing of numerous animals. I
do not take credit for the healing, only for giving the animals
an opportunity to participate in their own care. Stories like
this one are what keep me working to help animals in the face
of skepticism:
A woman I’ll call Alice had several Shelties over the years,
and absolutely loved the breed. However, in each of the past two
years, she had been forced to put down a dog. They had succumbed
to a mysterious illness that struck at about four years of age,
and included symptoms such as convulsions, fever, and gastrointestinal
distress.
Now Zephyr, her youngest, was showing the same problems, and
the vet was again suggesting euthanasia. Alice was totally distraught
over the thought of losing yet another dog. She contacted me
because she wanted to find out what Zephyr wanted her to do.
I tuned in to the young male Sheltie and felt a shivering,
shaking feeling all over my body. It was not shivering from cold
or fever or convulsions, but from fear. When I asked Zephyr how
he felt, he clearly indicated that although he was not feeling
well, he was not ready to die, and was sure that he would get
well. He was shaking with fear because he was afraid that he
would be euthanized the next day, before his body had the chance
to recover.
This was extraordinary; Zephyr was the first dog who had ever
expressed a fear of dying to me. Most animals I have spoken with
are not afraid of death, especially when they are sick or old.
I asked Zephyr to confirm the information, and he again asserted
that he felt that he would get better and did not want to be
euthanized. |
This presented a difficult situation for me; I am not a veterinarian,
and certainly did not want to contradict a professional opinion.
However, I felt bound by my duty to Zephyr to make the information
known to Alice. I told her that while most dogs do not express
a fear of dying, Zephyr clearly did, and he also conveyed a wish
to remain alive until his body could heal.
I knew how upsetting this was for Alice, but she had asked
to know what Zephyr wanted. In the end she was the only one who
could make the decision, and this gave her more information to
work with. Zephyr indicated that he was not in a high degree
of pain, so there didn’t seem to be a pressing need for quick euthanasia.
Two
days after the consultation, I received a phone call from Alice.
She was in tears and could hardly speak, but what she said sent
a shiver down my spine.
She had listened to what Zephyr shared through me, then went
back to the vet and said that she wanted to wait a day or two
before making a final decision, and the veterinarian agreed.
Late the next day after our call, Zephyr had begun to come around—the
fever had broken, he had stopped convulsing, and had started to
eat. By the second morning, he was back to his normal self, and
was anxious to go home! Alice and the vet were amazed! She was
overjoyed at the prospect of bringing her baby home, and so thankful
that I was able to convey Zephyr’s wishes. Needless to say,
the news brought tears of joy to my eyes as well!
