Kate:

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 180 with Joette Calabrese.

Joette:

Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: Pets, Parasites and Practical Homeopathy®

Joette: (01:00)

Welcome, friends. I’m Joette Calabrese, and this is the Practical Homeopathy Podcast.

Today, we’re talking about something that makes people a little squeamish. We’re talking about worms — not earthworms — parasite-type worms. And we’ll be specifically about pinworms in this particular podcast.

Now, Kate is joining me with a case about a dog who has pinworms. So, Kate, let’s get started.

So, Kate has a dog. Kate, tell us about this dog. What leads you to believe that the dog even has pinworms?

Cooper’s doing the bum-scoot boogie

Kate: (01:38)

Yeah, his name is Cooper. He’s super cute. He’s a mid-size mix, about four years old. And it makes me a little embarrassed to share this, but for the last couple of weeks, he’s been scooting across the rug. You know what I’m talking about?

Joette:

I do.

Kate:

And I’ve seen him licking back there a lot, too.

Joette:

Yeah, don’t be embarrassed, Kate. No, no. Itchy bottoms have been around as long as there have been bottoms.

So, what else is going on with this Cooper?

Kate:

So, at night he seems restless, and I’ve been Googling a lot and trying to figure out what’s been going on. And everything I read points to him having pinworms.

Joette:

It’s not been officially diagnosed by a veterinarian?

Kate:

No, I haven’t taken him to the vet yet. It’s just the signs of the pinworm — or I assume that’s what it is.

Joette:

Well, assumptions are where we get into trouble. Have you actually seen pinworms?

Kate:

No, I looked, and I haven’t seen any of those white threads or anything yet, but I thought maybe I just missed them.

Joette:

So, what makes you think, though, that they’re pinworms, or maybe they’re a different kind of a parasite?

Kate:

Yeah, I guess it could be. It’s the scooting, the licking, and once I thought I saw something in his stool, but I don’t know for sure.

He’s a little hungrier than usual, and I know that can be a sign. I’ve seen him rub his face on the carpet like he does when …

Symptoms are important, but sometimes a diagnosis is needed

Joette: (03:07)

Like his nose itches, which is a part of this. Yes, yes, yes.

Kate:

Right.

Joette:

Well, listen, we really do go by observation. Symptoms are very important. We don’t want to make assumptions.

However, I have to say scooting — especially if it’s happening a lot — and the itchy bottom could also be anal glands
