Pet’s parasitic condition overcome

Ted Gast

My cat, Savvy, and I enjoy exploring the rural land surrounding our house. On our morning walks she charges playfully from one tree to the next, darting up the trunks into the branches and jumping back to the ground. So I was concerned when I saw evidence of tapeworms. Although she was energetic and happy, I noticed she wasn’t eating normally.

A few years earlier, I had cared for a friend’s cat and was instructed to feed it deworming pills. My friend felt the best way to heal the condition was by using this medication. I lovingly complied with my friend’s wishes. Now, Savvy seemed to have a similar problem, and I had the thought that I could simply feed her the same pills to solve the problem.

However, as a student of Christian Science, I’ve experienced healing solely by following Christ Jesus’ example. Although feeding Savvy pills seemed like an answer to the problem, I wanted her to have a complete and permanent healing like those I’ve experienced myself. So I chose to work out the issue through prayer in Christian Science.
