That's one of the first things we learned on becoming Reiki Masters and QT practitioners, that it might get worse, so to speak, before it gets better. Catherine Ponder calls it "chemicalization". Whatever we want to call it, it can be scary. One of my first clients was a man who asked me to do a session on his back spasms. I worked on him for about 45 min. and all seemed well until he got up from the table and he yelled "OMG! It's worse than before!" "Great", I thought, "Make your client worse, why doncha?" So I worked on him some more and the spasms disappeared completely, never to return. It really freaked me out but I never let him see that. But at least w/humans, they can communicate to us what's going on. We're so fearful for our furkids because they can't let us know how they feel other than how they behave. So I feel for ya, believe me, but should Thumper need to have a lancing done, take that as a positive sign. And we'll all be praying her (and you) through it.

Blessings,
