Ledum
Thank you - very interesting. I had never heard of the herbal form of this
being used. I've used the homeopathic form successfully for puncture wounds
in animals.

Is the person who is using it for Lyme disease, using the homeopathic
preparation or the herbal form?

Here is the site about lyme disease.

In response to Nancy's question about Ledum for Lyme disease, I'm aware of
homeopathic Ledum being used for leg cramps in humans.  I checked out the
website that Linda supplied (thanks, Linda), and noted that Ledum was
mentioned after referring to the leg cramps the animals were suffering as a
result of Lyme disease.  So that might be the connection there.

I'm not really sure how to tell if a parrot is having a leg cramp, but isn't
there a problem that's not uncommon in cockatiels, where they act as if they
have leg cramps for a few days to weeks?  Perhaps Ledum would be helpful
there, as well as modest mineral/ electrolyte supplementation.
