Homoeopathy can combine very well with other forms of healing--but not, I
think, in this case. There are lots of 'layers' to it, that cannot be

6x tabs are fine. Grush one using a teaspoon inside a teaspoon.The spoons
should be sterilised. Then sprinkle the powder in the drinking water or even
on food. One tab is quite enough. Take no notice of what the label says.

Thank you, Dee. That gives me a lot to go on. Let's see what happens with
the sulphur. ok? Then can you let me know any changes in him or his
symptoms. ASs I said, don't worry if the ear starts to discharge again, but
it should not be smelly or purulent look. Note in particular any changes in
his coat or behaviour, _especially_ anything strange or odd. We call this
'strange, rare, and peculair, but very often it is just one of those
symptoms that separates our the correct remedy. If the ear gets very bad,
you can use 3 drops of calendula mother tincture in half a cup of warm
water. Bathe the ear very gently with this, taking great care not to get
water in the ear because in this case, the water caught in the ear could
very well exacerbate the problem,

Let me know what happens, and we can look at it again, if you would like to.
