The problem is Chai's sensitive stomach. He has always been fussier about food, would just stop eating until they changed brands of kibble. Since a violent GI episode in early February, he periodically acts off for a few days-- inappetent especially in the morning, acts like he has reflux: lip smacking, gagging, drooling, and is lethargic. Seems to have a belly ache BEFORE eating. Stools are normal. No abdominal gassiness, but a radiograph at Cornell in February seemed to indicate he had upper SI inflammation. He does have chronic Lyme, but is too fragile for a full course of antibiotics, and his numbers are not high. In between episodes, he is his normal self. He runs super hot a lot of the time, can't tolerate temps higher than 70s. No damp heat signs. He is extremely anxious away from his brother, but at home is relaxed. His tongue was on the pale side, while his gums looked red-orange-- a strange combo. Perhaps back of tongue more purplish. Eyes normal, not red. Chunky-- maybe 7/9 BSC. Pulse was difficult to feel because he was shaking too hard. My impression was thin and taut. Definitely not a Shao Yang pulse.
I know you are allowed to have more than one thing wrong with you, but I can't quite see a pattern that encloses the whole picture. I sent him home with a homotox symptom remedy, and a few doses of Ant. Crud 30C, which seemed to fit his symptoms-- I'm not a classical homeopath, but this remedy was part of Gastrucumeel: loss of appetite, belching. Any thoughts?
