King Charles Cavalier

This is my Cavalier. A few months ago, he had swollen anal glands and started bleeding from his back passage. It was around 1 a.m. on a Sunday morning, so I gave him healing — this was before I had even done the Animal Reiki course — and the bleeding stopped straight away.

There was no bleeding the next day, and we took him to the vet on Monday morning. They gave him medication to bring the swelling down, and we had to go back every week. But the swelling was still too much for them to do what they needed to do.

Two days before his next appointment, I decided to try and help him again. When he went to the vet, they were finally able to treat his glands properly. They then suggested I pay £40 a month for them to check his glands regularly, which I declined, as he had never had this issue before.

A month or so later, the problem came back — but this time I had completed the Animal Reiki Practitioner course. I decided I would try to help heal him myself.

Four months later, the issue has not returned.
