I'll stick by my personal finding that yes, all diseases and illnesses are caused by entity attachments. This goes for animals, too. Actually, what happens first is that there is a hole or a crack that develops in the auric field (which can certainly happen for a variety of reasons, including dehydration, not taking proper care of the body, receiving a traumatic bodily blow or injury to the physical body, and also all forms of emotional and mental trauma.) Then, if the person doesn't take steps to seal the holes (by restoring immunity through natural means and/or doing clearing work on himself) the negative entities can come in. Sometimes, it's just a minor infestation. Usually, it's a big one.
We're all walking around with entity attachments, all the time. Seems to have become a truly chronic thing at this point in time because of the imbalanced electrical "soup" we're constantly moving around in. You can mitigate this a bit by de-electrifying yourself daily. This includes taking salt tubs, taking showers before you go to bed to discharge the whacked out electricity you will have picked up at the computer, through the cell phone, from flourescent lights, etc. throughout the day. And also spraying water with salt into your environment as a diffusion throughout the room. (You can also use a humidifier with salt water in it.) This isn't a 100% cure to keep your body's natural electricity in balance, but it does help. Of course, there are nutritional things, too, like keeping a good ph balance in the blood.
I talk about some of this in my radio broadcast (linked to in the other thread that was revived here in General Disccusion in the thread about my radio thing.) I go into some of this stuff on the air.
The most dramatic situation of some very bad entity attachments with an animal involved a feral cat that wanted to come inside and become an indoor cat. He was very sweet most of the time but had times when this BLACKNESS overcame him and he became extremely insane. He unconsciously sought healing from us. So during his peaceful times I'd encourage him to curl up on my lap and I'd go to work stripping away layers of ick and closing the holes and tears in his auric field.
This stuff connects to past lives, too. So you start first with clearing stuff out from the present life and then trace the energies back in time to their original source to close the holes and rips in the auric field throughout time and probability.
With this kitty, he had a couple of things going on. First major point of trauma that caused some of the cracks and holes in the auric field was from his current life when he was making his way in the world as a cat and came from an abused home. Physical injuries were sustained, but he recovered from those. The psychic trauma and shock of being hurt by people he trusted were worse, and that's what caused big holes and cracks in his field, which in turn created entity attachments.
But the source of his "insanity" went back further to an early life in a pagan temple where he had apparently functioned as a familiar -- only the people utilizing him in rituals were NOT nice. They were conjuring up demonic entities and expecting the cat to be the host for them. So they were literally using this psychically sensitive animal to become a vehicle for various negative spirits through repeated rituals. It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in an animal. Kind of like satanic ritual abuse in humans, energetically, but stemming from an earlier life as a temple cat.
He had a core attachment at the base of his skull that at times would manipulate his personality and make him aggressive and insane. This entity was trying to get the kitty to act up more so we'd give up on him and stop trying to heal him - because the critter knew that if we healed Mr. Kitty, we'd sniff out that entity and send it packing!
This entity had a lot of bloodlust, too, and had been "fed" through repeated rituals involving blood letting. YUCK. Nasty stuff. Poor Mr. Kitty could do nothing but be a silent witness and recipient of this energy in his past life, and it was still affecting him now, hundreds of years later, in his current life.
So as we worked to clear away layers of different type of attachments and we finally got down to that core one, Mr. Kitty became a changed kitty. And almost overnight, in a "magical" way, an offer came along for a family to take Mr. Kitty to their farm. (We couldn't keep him because we had too many competitive males at the time.) Now Mr. Kitty is a happy farm kitty on a farm not far from here.
To heal your animals, meditate on closing up any holes or cracks in their auric "egg". Use colors like light whitish violet or light green, or pink, or white. Keep the colors soft, not aggressive. Animals are very sensitive and you can't heal them in an aggressive way.
After you close off the holes, work on expelling all elementals, discarnates, demons, and black magic influences from the animal's physical body and its energy field. Do this through invoking and prayer, through laying on of hands, through setting the intention with a strong visualization, through sound like rattling or drumming, or any combination of these methods.
Make sure you tell the animal what you intend to do and get their permission first. This will reassure them and allow them to be more open to receiving strong healing from you.
It may take several sessions to get your animal in good shape. With Mr. Kitty it took us about eight sessions as we kept digging down deeper, looking for the root causes of his problems.
As you work, you might receive images in your mind or "data" as a sort of psychic download about what is going on with your animal. And as Lono said, sometimes your animal can also be acting as a sponge or a psychic mirror to YOU and your issues, so you should also work on healing yourself and clearing yourself out, because this will also be good for your animal.
Many animals who behave erratically or neurotically are having really bad entity attachments. Others with minor health coniditions might have some extremely low level stuff going on like elementals, which are more on the same level as physical parasites that both humans and animals get - like worms, basically. So there is often a physical aspect (like worm parasites) and a metaphysical aspect (the entities attached, worsening the condition of the body.) Or there will be past trauma from abuse or neglect or even just depression at being left alone all day that creates cracks in the aura, which in turn allows negative entities to enter.
Anyway, that's my brain dump for the day about how we can help our animals by clearing out attachments for them, sealing up holes in their aura, and strengthening their overall energy. (That's another piece of the puzzle for humans AND animals -- you keep your aura strong, making it less prone to entity infiltration, by maintain a balance of healthy physical habits and healthy, positively-focused, thoughts/emotions. Psychic immunity and physical immunity are definitely related.)
