When you live close to the land, you start to notice the body’s rhythms. You also start to trust them. But it’s one thing to apply that philosophy to yourself—and another entirely when it’s your animal.
This is the story of how our cat, Lucy, was impaled by something, developed a growing infection, and healed beautifully with nothing more than homeopathy and colloidal silver. No antibiotics. No surgery. No suppressive medicine.

The Wound
It started with a gash.
We noticed Lucy had a fresh wound—about a quarter inch in size—right along her hindquarters. It looked like she’d been impaled by a stick or something sharp. I removed the object, cleaned the wound, and sprayed it with colloidal silver to reduce microbial load while letting the tissue breathe.
Then the Lump Appeared
Two days later, a hard lump the size of a small egg developed under the skin about half an inch away from the wound. Most people would have rushed to the vet. And to be honest, that reaction would have been understandable. But we paused. We trusted the body.
Lucy wasn’t acting lethargic, her appetite was fine, and her vitals were stable. The lump was alarming, but her overall health was not.
Homeopathy to the Rescue
I started dosing her with Hepar sulph 30c and Silicea 30c twice a day. These are two remedies known for their ability to draw out infection, encourage suppuration, and support the body’s elimination pathways.
After two days, the lump subsided significantly. Her body was working through it. So we stopped dosing.
Then It Came Back
A few days later, the lump returned. This time, it was softer and slightly larger. Again, Lucy’s energy and behavior were normal.
We resumed dosing Hepar sulph and Silicea 2x/day. And by the second day, the infection opened and released on its own.
No incision. No draining. Just her body doing what it was designed to do.
We sprayed the site with colloidal silver again to reduce risk of external contamination. Within a day, the swelling was gone. The area was clean. And Lucy was thriving.
Why This Matters
This experience reaffirmed what I’ve learned again and again: the body wants to heal. It just needs support—not suppression.
If we had taken Lucy to a conventional vet, she would have immediately been given antibiotics. That might have reduced the swelling, yes. But the body wasn’t just reacting to surface bacteria—it was working to eliminate a foreign object or internal debris.
By halting that process prematurely, the infection would have either returned again and again or eventually become walled off into a cyst. At that point, surgery or chronic inflammation would become the next step.
Homeopathy did more than bring the swelling down. It worked with her body to resolve the issue. Fully. Gently. Intelligently.
The Bigger Picture
I’m not against emergency medicine when it’s needed. But most cases aren’t emergencies—they’re just moments where the body is asking to complete a healing cycle. When we suppress that cycle, we rob it of the very wisdom it needs to stay resilient.
Lucy’s healing was a beautiful reminder that health isn’t about control. It’s about cooperation.
Closing Thoughts
If you’ve ever wondered whether homeopathy “really works,” let Lucy be your sign. Acute cases like this are some of the most straightforward ways to witness homeopathy in action.
She’s thriving now. And so is my trust in the body’s ability to heal.
