It was in the vineyards. Ezra, our Labrador Retriever, was playing with his dog friends—just like he always does, with full commitment, throwing caution to the wind. At some point, he let out a short yelp. Short. And then kept going.
What we didn't know: He had torn himself open on barbed wire. 20 centimeters long. Open. And because Ezra is an Indian—Indians know no pain—he just licked it a little more than usual. We noticed it too late.
By the time we got to the vet, the wound was already infected. A subcutaneous infection (where bacteria spread under the skin and destroy tissue—you hear it as a crackling or rustling sound under the skin) had spread. The vet scolded us. Rightly so. Immediately: surgery, anesthesia, IV fluids, antibiotics. All at once. After the operation, he was weak, on pain medication, with a shaved leg and a cannula (you never know), very needy, always wanting to be on my lap, so we made our camp on the floor.
What was in his little dog body: anesthetics, antibiotics, inflammatory residues, germs from the wound, and a lot of cortisol(the stress hormone released during pain, fear, and exhaustion that the liver then has to break down). His body needed to detox. And we gave him zeolite for that. Daily. Consistently. We petted him a lot, gave him more energy, sent him energy, and started cooking fresh food for him. That's how it went. Slowly but surely, he got stronger again.
Today, Ezra is 6 years old, always and everywhere, the scar has healed. What remains are dense spots where the scar was, which he licks, the story, and I hope not an exaggerated but an appropriate careful observation. Because we simply overlooked the long cut. This story made it very clear to me: Every medical treatment is an intervention in the body. And the body then needs support in detoxification and regeneration.
