We discuss the homeopathic treatment of a golden-retriever dog which was seriously lamed due to bamboo spine. After the application of Silicea C200 did not deliver the expected positive results, the therapy was replaced by Bambusa arun-dinacea C30. After only three days of treatment with Bambusa arundinacea, considerable improvement in the health of the dog was noticeable. The case report is a pointer to the fact that the healing process of serious pathologies is often sparked by "tiny" measures.
