Animals General Discussion

Set up Statements

Emptyspace — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 00:44:20 GMT

Hopefully someone will set me straight on this.
I thought I read somewhere, that you really don't need to use a set up statement when helping animals with EFT, the reason being that animals are not usually psychologically reversed. It is only us humans that have this problem.
When I tap on or for my dog, I don't use any set up statements. I go directly to the points and tap away the issue (my itchy ears) and I get very good results anyway.
Has anyone else read this? Maybe it's something I dreamed, because I cannot seem to find the article and everyone seems to use set-up statements for animals.
Thanks for any feedback.

Dog Cancer

mossrisjhons — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 18:14:52 GMT

Just wanted to share my experience if it ever can help anyone who ever has to go through this.

My parent's/family dog Mandy was diagnosed with a brain tumour three years ago. We were told there was not treatment possible and it was inoperable.

It is inoperable-that much is true (it's a brain stem tumour).

However there is one centre in Canada (it was in Saskatoon but has moved temporarily to Calgary) and I'm sure they are opening up elsewhere-that treats cancer in pets! (the centre that treated our dog treated cats and rabbits too).

They do radiation and/or chemo and I think it's imperative that when your dog (or any other pet) is given a 'no chance' outcome to phone around, search on the internet and see what other options there are. Just like Dr.'s vets don't always know about every option. So keep your mind open and look around!

The centre she was treated at was wonderful. They usually treat pets who come from other cities and are totally set up for that. You get a call EVERY day to tell you how they are doing. They wander free in the clinic after their treatment and socialize with the vets there. They go home every night with a vet or vet student. Mandy did not want to leave when her treatment was up-it was a very home like environment. They even sent us pictures of her dressed up as a vet for halloween and we still visit when we go through that province.

Anyways-wanted to share my experience!!

Help for bound-up kitty

WVgal — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:41:00 GMT

Poor Travis. Twelve years ago this summer, he ran out into an isolated, one-lane country road in front of my car. I had to swerve to miss him, but he just stood there. My son got out of the car, and this tiny, sickly, 4-week-old kitten jumped up into his arms. Travis was born with congenital herpes, and at 3 months we nearly lost him. Travie is the sweetest, most loving cat I've ever owned. He sings to birds. He has never in his life shown aggression to anything. He makes friends with everyone. The dogs even let him drink milk out of their bowls.

He has a chronic problem with constipation. He always has problems going. Sometimes he gets so bound up he can't go at all. He's had two surgeries already. Both times he was in the hospital for a week. Last time the bill was $900. Vet said he might need a colostomy.

Travie is 12. While by no means ancient, he's no spring chicken anymore. I've decided I really don't want to put him through the surgery again. Not to mention me. And my pocketbook. And knowing that surgery will not fix the problem but just remove the present blockage -- maybe even make the overall problem worse -- I don't see the point. I've tried dietary changes. He never gets dry cat food -- only fresh meat, milk, and eggs. Won't eat pumpkin, which was the only suggestion the vet could offer.

Anyway, we're back at that emergency stage again. Milk of mag and suppositories aren't budging this. I know from previous experience that my choices at the vet will be surgery or euthanasia. Conventional medicine, as far as I have been able to research, has nothing else for him. I've been tapping for him, and I strongly believe that I must find a way to heal him energetically or let him go.

I feel a little responsible because I didn't tap enough for him before he got this bad. Resistance, perhaps? Maybe I'm responsible, if he is physically expressing some blockage in my own energy field.

I would appreciate any suggestions. And if anyone wants to surrogate-tap for a sweet little stray kitty who just happens to be the light of his mother's life, we'd take that too.

Giving a cat a pill

Suzanne — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:54:26 GMT

The old challenge of giving a cat a pill... Sigh...

Has anyone found a tapping way to get a cat to willingly swallow a pill or is that too much wishful thinking?

your help is requested

Sassy — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:46:50 GMT

Hi,

I was answering a surrogate tapping question today and got to thinking that some people could use some proof that it works. Then I was thinking about the power of prayer and the mass direction of energy toward one person or animal and decided to ask for your help with my 12 year old Black Lab Blue and see if we can surrogate tap him back to health.

I have been working on him but I am not getting the results I would get with someone elses animal which tells me I am somehow involved in this illness even though I tapped on all the blockages I can think of including him taking on this illness for me. I have him using a magnetic bed and collar and magnets on sacral area also. He has a chiro and acupucturist and chinese herbs are ordered but in the mean time they will take time to work and aren't even here yet and I have him on herbs also and ordered a healing halter from Dr Dodd. This occurred last year and we got him better but its different this time, more severe.

He woke with hind end weakness which progressed to paralysis within days while I dug around looking for my activater to give him an adjustment I call his chiro. It is partially weather related but Chiro says his brain and the femoral nerve and the sacral nerve are not communicating and there is spinal arthritis and hip dysplasia and a fatty tumor on his left shoulderso if you have a few minutes to send some energy his way i would appreciate it and if he improves quickly we will know its the EFT.he may not like me opening a new office and moving forward,I have been working at home for over a year and he likes it that way.

Thanks ahead of time this is Blue

Scared New Kittie is Hiding

Gracenote — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:31:50 GMT

Hello,

I recently adopted a friendly new female kittie who is about 11 months old. She was found down the street from the pet adoption place and hung out with feral cats for awhile. She also had a litter of kittens already. I have had her here for a week. She eats and uses the litter box, but she either hides in the closet or under the bed. Sometimes I can gently coax her out. She seems bothered by the environment, hypersensitive to noise and exploring the small place, but it is mostly a quiet place. No other pets and just me living here.

I have tried surrogate EFT, tapping on fear and femaining fear. . When I do this I get this imagine of this big black scarey animal with glowing eyes and darkness and being lost and alone in a field. So I tap on that energy and then do a round imagining her calm and safe and playing in my home. I have also picked her up and tapped under eye and collarbone area as she lets me pick her up and does not resist. I do not know if that is effective, but, I try.

But, no results. She is still hiding. Maybe I am confused about something. Am I to first say even though kittie is scared and afraid, she deeply and profoundly accepts herself and then tap on the fear and the image of the animal, and then do a round imaging positives? If not,does anyone have any other ideas, with or without kittie (i.e. surrogate) to help her make a good adjustment? .

Thanks for any help.

Breaking Patterns of our dear loved Black Labrador

Anita — Sat, 30 May 2009 15:28:08 GMT

With a very heavy heart, I begin by saying that we lost our beloved Shadow - a Black Labrador who was with us for 17-18 years. The reason why I am putting this up here is that though we lost her, we were actually relived that we were able to break her pattern of leaving this world. Being an animal lover I know how difficult it is for us to face the fact that it is possible that we have to 'put down' our loved one as no other solution is possible.

My sister Sangeeta Bhagwat (serenereflection.com) was the one to introduce us to eft and she is also able to know about past life times. We had done a past life for Shadow as we were certain that this was more than her first life times with us. She had in the past been our horse in various life times. We also recalled that in some of her past lives she had died accidentally or had been ‘put down’ as she had been badly injured.

This time she was very sick, she was suffering very much and we could see the fear in her eyes. The doctor had told us that if she was unable to ‘move on’ on her own then we would have to put her down.! The thought itself was horrifying and I have no idea how we would be actually able to do it.

We turned to all our prayers and mantras. We then used EFT to help her overcome her fear of moving on. We tapped continuously for 2-3 days. We tapped to tell her that no matter where she would be, we would always love her, she would never be forgotten and we would love her in whatever form she was. We tapped to help her leave us. Sangeeta did a lot of TAT procedures too. It occurred to us that she was not knowing that she could leave her body willingly as in most of her past lifes she had been forced/shocked out of it. We tapped to inform her that she had to power to decide, that she would be well taken care off by our relatives (whom she knew). We just tapped and tapped, giving her promises just as we one would give a human relative.

We also prayed from our ‘Krishna Gita’. It helps the soul to move on.

The purpose of writing this is that in the event somebody is sadly faced with the situation of having to put to sleep their beloved one, I earnestly request you to just tap away to break the pattern of being put to sleep and tap to let them know that the power to depart is in the souls hand. Do TATs EFT’s whatever possible so that you too break the pattern of the loved soul.

GOD BLESS U

Golf ball size fatty tumor on my dog disappeared after 3 weeks of EFT

Diana Wolff — Tue, 05 May 2009 18:30:40 GMT

Pumpkin, 12 year old mixed pit bull/Rhodesian, developed one of many fatty tumors on her body. Others had been surgically removed, but I just didn't want to go through that again. I'd read about using EFT on dogs and thought I'd try it.

I tapped on her head, down her nose, down her legs, on her feet, down her spine.

EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THIS TUMOR, I DEEPLY AND COMPLETELY LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF AND I'M A WONDERFUL DOG!

EVEN THOUGH I'M WORRIED ABOUT THIS TUMOR, I'M A BEAUTIFUL DOG AND EVERYBODY LOVES ME!

After one week the tumor was the size of a large marble.

After two weeks it was the size of a pebble.

In three weeks it was completely gone!

Wow! Yes, I was amazed!

Dog with Seizures

computergeek3 — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:06:45 GMT

I lost my American Eskimo Dog in October. She had a wonderful 17 years with me.

I rescued an Eskie for the breed resuce group. He weighs about 20 pounds, has a long white coat with two cream spots on his back and his tail curls over his back when life is good. He had a skin condition but he needed a home and I needed a pal. I was told it was the second time he had been rescued. He had been living with an elderly person who had to go to assisted living.

Casper is VERY anxious about everything. He has separation anxiety about me and a fixation about being in the house. He likes my husband and will gladly go for walks with him. On the walks, even with me, Casper is always trying to determine the path to take him home. He will pull so hard to get to the house, it will hurt your hand. We have been working with him, using Dog Whisperer techniques.

Casper had his first seizure after his first walk with me. I was practicing EFT at the time but unsure as how to use it on animals. Since then I have been working with his anxiety. He has had seizures after a night when a thunderstorm rolled in....he HATES thunder.

It is REALLY hot here today. He and I went for a walk at sunup, just a half mile. We have been doing this all summer. I had been outside working on the house painting we are doing. HJe was in and out, checking on me. About an hour after I came in, I noticed he was not walking well. Then I sat down and he came to me and tried to get on my lap. Very unusual for this dog. Then I realized he was having a seizure and was asking for my help.

Previously, when he had a seizure, his body would go ridgid and he could not even blink. This could last as long as 20 minutes.

Today, I started tapping on his head, his muzzle, his back, anything I could reach, while telling him he was a good dog. He was safe and protected. He was going to be with me in that house forever. Over and Over, tapping and reassuring for about 10 minutes.

He was still a little wobbly on his feet and still a bit disoriented but he never went ridgid and could move and blink the whole time.

Does anyone have experience with seizures? Any ideas?

overweight cat help?

Kirsten — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:19:59 GMT

Never really tapped on an acute problem for an animal. I'm assuming it is surrogate tapping? Our cat is overweight (long story) and I need some suggestion as to set up statements for EFT. I feel that some of the eating is emotional but she was also an orphan and may not have learned the right eating habits? Hoping to get some help... K

Tapping for Ticks!

Julia Jane — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:23:34 GMT

Hi, I have an interesting question. Am new to the EFT community and am just getting started and practicing on my cats and myself but I'm wondering if I can tap for the ticks that are in my neighbors' yards and migrating into mine and getting on me and the cats (mostly on their eyelids, which involved afterhours trips to the emergency vet!! Very scary..) Has anyone tried this technique to get rid of nasty pests? I'm going to go ahead and put Frontline on the cats which I was so hesitant to do before, but I wanted to try tapping before I spent any more money and time on natural resources like beneficial nematodes or D.E. Can I say something like: "Even though ticks are here, I love and accept my property"? Or is it better to word it with the intent: "Even though ticks are here and I want them to leave, I love and accept my propery/lawn/garden, etc."? I'm not sure how to word things and I don't want to use the wrong verbage and accidentally create more of a problem! Apparently, because of lots of rain and not enough hot, sunny, dry days, the tick problem is extreme in Connecticut this year. They're warning people on the news. Lyme disease get its name from Lyme, Connecticut. Argh! Can tapping be done for pests like this?

Thank you so much,

Julia

Siamese kitten with chronic diaorrhea

denimmaterial — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:33:51 GMT

My siamese kitten, Skye, has had 'dire rear'! ever since I got him at 12 weeks old. He has been fed on the best kitten food and then Burns cat food, but despite being treated with broad spectrum antibiotics and for giardia, nothing has changed. No improvement even for a day. I would like to tap for her, but am uncertain what to include in the setup phrases. I don't think he has any pain, though he cries when he is in his litter tray. Has anyone else tapped for this? As for events/traumas etc, I can only guess. The breeder loves siamese cats and kittens and looks after them very well. However, there were two or three litters when I visited, together with the queens and four small dogs, all together, so I suppose the separation must have been traumatic, coming to a home with only one other (siamese) cat and a small dog. Other than that, I can't think of anything. Should I just tap on the symptoms or try the separation trauma? Any ideas? All help gratefully accepted.

Animals, dogs and horses

kelise — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 11:38:06 GMT

Hej, I am a new member from Denmark.

I would therfore be very happy to use EFT on my animal clients, but how?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

How Do I tap On My BALD Cat? :)

arum — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:10:04 GMT

I never even considered comming to this part of the forum, I don't believe you can tap on animals. But for some reason my cat is going bald, no don't think it's her food, it's the same food as always. Alergy? Maybe. Still, IF tappping on animals is supposed to work, how do I tap on a cat? Thanks. :) Arum

Dogs acting out as owner is tapped

phodge111 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:19:11 GMT

I have been working with a client both in person and on the phone to address issues related to her irritable bowels.

We have collapsed quite a few aspects and traumas in a very short time. She is now sleeping better, her energy has improved and her bowels have quieted considerably. However, as we began to address a "burning" sensation in her lower abdomen both her dogs reacted vehemently.

One, who has recently gone blind, started barking uncontrollably. The second began "stealing bags" of things from the kitchen, including something from the stovetop where the dog never goes, all in an apparent effort to distract my client from using EFT. She would begin to tap after addressing the dogs and they literally nudged her hands away.

Of course I am concerned that they are troubled and know something that is creating such anxiety in them. It seems they are trying to protect her.

I plan to tap for the dogs first at the next session with the client. Any suggestions are welcome.

Animal question..

AmberBrooks — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:07:58 GMT

My 11 year old french bulldog BeeBee is having trouble keeping her sugar up. It needs to be 100 to 120 and today is was back down to 30. She is at the vet now and we might have to do an I.V. on her again. The Vet thinks is a pancreatic tumor or possibly a liver tumor pushing her insulin up and eating all her sugar.

I've tapped on everything I could think of for her. Anger, feeling safe and loved. Letting go of the cancer/tumor, letting go of the bad bacteria if that's whats causing this. Tapping on myself and getting my fears and emotions out of the way. We have three people tapping for her and it doesn't seem like we are getting results. Would you guys have any tips or advice on other issues/aspects to tap on? I'm using my intuition as best I can and learning more about that every day. It seems very hard to tap on animals and trying to figure out the emotional cause.

Please help. Thanks!

Amber

When do we move on?

Emptyspace — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:44:58 GMT

I'm sure this question has come forth before.
I understand there are several ways to approach surrogate tapping, however, in the case of an animal, where we must rely on our intuition, when do we know to move on to other issues? For example, if there is a rescued dog with unknown history and with strong emotions of fear and anxiety, it's my understanding that one way to go forth with working with this animal, is to imagine all the possible reasons that (s)he may be fearful or anxious (abondonment, not enough food, fearful of other dogs, fearful of people, anxious in the car... etc.) We must begin somewhere, so I would take one possible issue and begin to tap on that emotion. Since I'm only guessing the level of discomfort of the animal, and do not feel or see any obvious changes, would I just continue to tap on the same issue or would I move on to the next possible issue? How do we know when our job is done with an issue?
If, after four or five times working with the animal for the same things, and have exhausted all the "imagined" possible reasons for these issues and there doesn't appear to be obvious freedom from those negative emotions, where do I go from there?
I feel that the answer is to strengthen/trust my intuition but have been wrong more often than not in that respect.
Thank you for any feedback you have to offer.

Dogs severe Back Injury and Catarct

Anita — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:54:31 GMT

We have a 15 year old labrador (female) she has been in fine health, until a a few days back when she 'charged' at a stray dog in our bunglow's compound and hurt herself. It was after a few days that she suddenly stopped any movement whatsoever. She would only lie down on her side and refused to get up. I thought that sadly it was time for her to go. My son & husband refused to 'let her go'. They insisted that vet be called in. Well, I am greatful that I did so. The Dr told us that she had hurt her spine muscles/bone in the sudden attack that she had done, and there was no medication / investigation for her at the age of 15. He also told us that she has cataract in both her eyes. He only subscribed a few vitamins and told us to pray. Since the Dr had told us that her back had been injured and that she had got cataract, I did surrogate tapping for Shadow (my labrador). Even though Shadow has hurt her back badly I deeply and completely love, accept & forgive her. Even though Shadow's back is paining very badly and she is unable to walk, I deeply and completely love,accpet & forgive her. Even though Shadow has cataract in both her eyes due to old age, I deeply and completely love, accept and forgive her. I was doing this regularly as often as possible in the day for atleast a week. After the FIRST day of continious tapping, Shadow started getting up on her own. 2nd day onwards one could not even imagine that we were saying goodbye to her a few days back. 3rd day onwards I noticed that even if I made a hand movement to beckon her to me , she would come! I mean she could see even from a distance.! We are so happy that we got her back due to EFT tapping and the right diagnosis. Thank you Christ. Gary Craig, Sangeeta & Sameer for giving us our daughter (Shadow my Labrador) back again. (healthy) Anita

Nervous horse

mytaichi45 — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 06:43:39 GMT

I am currently treating a horse with Bowen therapy as part of my training to become a therapist; however, the horse, a 5 y Welsh thoroughbred is reacting extremely badly when I attempt to treat in the area of the hamstrings or abdominal area. Discussion wth the owners reveals that she was repeatedly stung by a wasp on the abdomen which clearly explains her reaction, and I recently discovered that she had been attacked by an immature stallion when she was 18 months old which left her extremely traumatised which would also contribute to her reaction to being touched at the rear end.

I have considered using EFT, but I am not familiar with the concept of merging with the horse's feelings for surogate tapping, and assuming that the horse would allow me to tap on her, where are the points?

My other option is to bring the owner in and coach her through the EFT process. Perhaps then we can regain her rust and continue the treament

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

*** Abcess

success2u — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:33:33 GMT

Hi,

Wondered if anyone could offer tapping suggestions on how I can help my Bichon recover from surgery. He is 6 yrs old, neutered just over a month ago but developed an abcess of the *** and sheath. He is on pain and antibiotic medication but of course, he wants to lick and scratch. He just had the surgery for the abcess yesterday, Friday and has tubes in. His white blood cell count was very high. He is wearing a protective collar, however, his urge to scratch prior to the surgery was so great he scratched both sides of his face from frustration. He is used to being able to have the whole yard to wander around in so confinement has not been a quiet time! Thanks for any help you can offer.

Fearful Pony

Ginger — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:08:40 GMT

My dad has a 41 year old pony that goes absolutely ballistic when the farrier works on her feet. I don't know if she is in pain from having to stand on three legs while the farrier works on the 4th or if she has some fear from a past experience. My dad has had the pony for about 12 years and she has never been abused while in his care. I'd appreciate input with regards to tapping points and verbiage.

Doggie Diarrhea

J. C. — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:23:03 GMT

My 4 year old dog has had diarrhea for 3 days now. The meds to Vet gave do not seem to be helping. I usually do very well with EFT, but I may let my own guilt getting in the way, feeling I may have caused the disruption in the GI tract from something I fed my dog. Any suggestions?
