This is a true story where Animal Communication, love, and energy healing saved the life of a cat with Ideopathic Chylotherax¹ despite the negative attitude of veterinarians.

Simba was diagnosed in 2001 when he was 4 years old  He recovered to live a long, healthy life until he was nearly 20.  He never had a recurrence.

My niece’s divorce brought Simba, a Rag Doll cat, to our home. I invited Nedda to come to the house to help Simba integrate with our two other cats, Chandler and Tash, but when she met Simba, Nedda was immediately concerned about his appearance and especially his breathing. Every breath Simba took was labored. Nedda urged me to take him to the vet right away and to keep the other cats out of the room.

Simba had fluid around his lungs, diagnosed as idiopathic chylothorax. My veterinarian wasn’t very optimistic. There was so much fluid that the doctor didn’t remove all of it on the first visit.  Simba would have to come back again and again to have the fluid removed if he was to survive. I brought Simba home determined to help him get well.

Nedda suggested some flower essences to help Simba with the depression he felt, largely related to his attachment to my niece. She had raised him from a kitten and he was both sad to leave her and upset by the personal upheaval she was going through.

For a few weeks, Simba seemed stable, but did not improve much. He didn’t like the more nutritious diet Nedda suggested I feed him and wasn’t eating very well. He was used to junky cat food from the supermarket. All I could get him to eat was freshly cooked turkey.

Removing the fluid helped for a day or two, but he had to go once every week to have it done. During this time, he was seen by 3 different veterinarians at the same practice, and each one said there was no hope. I knew in my heart that they were wrong. I just had to find the answer.

One day, Nedda suggested a series of healing sessions. She explained that energetic healing is cumulative in effect, and for such a serious condition a series of 3 consecutive sessions over 3 consecutive days might start to turn things around. I agreed to try it.

I saw immediate improvements in Simba after the very first session. He began eating better and had a little more energy.

Nedda urged him to use his energy for healing and not become too active just yet. She also enlisted the help of the other cats, especially Chandler who began sitting outside the door of Simba’s room yowling. I thought he might be threatening Simba, but Chandler told Nedda that he was singing songs of encouragement. When the cats met nose-to-nose through a screen, there was never a hiss or a growl. Meanwhile, I gave Simba homeopathics, dietary supplements, and special food, and used prayer and color therapy to help him heal.

Simba kept slowly improving. He gained weight. His bedraggled coat shed out and became soft and beautiful. He began to play with the other cats and asked to go outside from time to time. But he still needed to have fluid removed once a week.

One day, Simba took a turn for the worse. I called Nedda, who did another healing. This time, the change was dramatic. When I took him for his weekly visit to the vet, one whole side of his lungs were clear of fluids.

Simba had turned a corner and went for two whole weeks without needing any fluids removed. During that time, he played with the other cats, spent more time outside, and his appetite increased dramatically. Simba was so much better!

At his next visit, the vet took out half as much fluid as before. Yet when we got home, Simba refused to eat or play, and moped around the house. I called Nedda the next day because I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

When Nedda talked telepathically to Simba, he told her he was depressed. He believed he was not getting better. After two weeks of not going to the doctor, he thought he was all done. Then, because he had to go back, he decided he must not be healing. He was depressed because of this misunderstanding.

Nedda cleared up the confusion for him. She said it simply wasn’t true that he wasn’t getting better. She explained that getting well can take time. She reminded him that two whole weeks had gone by between fluid removal treatments. She told him how much everyone loved him and wanted him to heal.

As Simba and Nedda finished talking, I was amazement to see him walk over to the food dish and eat enthusiastically for the first time in 24 hours. When he was through, he began playing with a toy that was lying on the floor. Nedda had talked him through an important emotional shift. He was back on the road to recovery, and in just a few more weeks, Simba had entirely recovered.

¹ Ideopathic Chylothorax is a medical diagnosis where fluid from the lymphatic system (chyle) leaks into the space around the lungs.   Ideopathic means that the doctor or veterinarian cannot identify the cause of the problem.  Breeds that seem predisposed include Siamese, Rag Doll, and Himalayan cats, and Afghan hounds and Shiba Inu dogs.
