Rescuing Animals In Need
LYRA
Lyra came from a home where her caretaker was mentally unstable and had to be institutionalized. Lyra is a special cat for several reasons. She had been hit by a car several years ago and had severe head trauma as a result and cannot see out of one eye. Also unknown to us at the time she was suffering from severe seperation depression and when offered food refused all of it.This can be a dangerous problem since cats can have Liver Problems from not eating for too long! After having a thorough check-up(complete blood work, physical exam,x-rays) no physical cause could be determined. Having no clear history on her we suspected layrnx damage since her purring was exceptionally rough and she sometimes coughed while purring. While it was hard to believe that she was depressed due to her unbelieveably sweet nature, her caretaker pulled out The Rescue Remedy(a five flower essence formula created for stress & trauma in humans & animals)hoping this may help her! Much to her relief and Lyra's it did and she has been eating everything in sight!!! Her attitude perked up and she is now happy for the first time, since being left in her former guardian's house almost two weeks prior to her displacement. We can only imagine the feelings of grief, abandonment, & confusion that she and other companion animals must feel when they are caught in the chaos of this world and it's problems. We hope that we can help to educate people on how their lives effect everything around us even our animal companions!!!
