Woman who drinks her own urine and claims to be able to ‘speak to animals’ is under investigation for revolting act against a ‘defenceless dog’

An investigation is underway into a mother of two who drinks and bathes in her own urine for health reasons after giving it to her dog.

Lucy Goldswain, 42, from Kuranda, north of Cairns in far north Queensland, asked for help on social media after finding a tick on her dog Gayaa, which was causing adverse side effects including paralysis.

The yoga teacher then ignored dozens of comments pleading with her to seek professional help and instead “asked the Pendulum” if the tick was still alive and gave the animal her “older urine” to treat it.

Outraged followers have since reported her reckless behavior to the RSPCA, who have launched an investigation into the matter.

Goldswain has shunned modern medicine for years, believing she can cure diseases and even grow new teeth by drinking her urine “straight from the cup you pee in,” or after it has been stored and “aged.”

The bizarre situation occurred on November 30, when Goldswain, who lives in a converted school bus with her two children, noticed the tick on her dog’s head.

Under the username Lucy Aura, she initially asked her 2,766 TikTok followers for advice, before deciding to follow her ‘intuition’ and use essential oils to treat the parasite.

Days later, with the tick still attached to the small dog, Goldswain continued her videos explaining that although Gayaa appeared to be suffering from paralysis, a known side effect of tick bites, she had faith that her urine would heal him.

“The eye rolled in bunches and didn’t blink,” Goldswain said.

‘Gayaa is absolutely fine otherwise, except that the eye doesn’t blink.

“He’s running around, he’s eating and I gave him some of my old urine because I have a jar of it here.

“And he’s happy… you know dogs like to lick urine and it’s a medicine, so I decided to give it to him.”

Goldswain explained that she didn’t feel the need to pay a vet bill because she had “been able to talk to animals for a long time.”

‘I follow my intuition and don’t go to a consultation because I feel like we often pay this money just for reassurance… so I decided not to take him to the vet.’

Angry followers immediately took to the comments section to try to get her to change her mind.

‘Sounds and looks like paralysis! He needs a vet, it’s not about intuition and giving him your urine! At least do the right thing for him. This is what happens to ticks,” one person pointed out.

Another added: “You are crazy. Someone needs to call the RSPCA to take a look at that dog. You need serious help and we all know you won’t get it, but at least do it for your defenseless dog.”

The RSPCA received several complaints about the situation

A third wrote: ‘I work in animal emergencies. You must take this dog to the vet as a priority. No vet will give you advice over the phone as they have to do their own physical assessment in order to treat properly.

Several angry followers later shared their responses from the RSPCA after reporting the situation.

The email responses confirmed that animal inspectors were dealing with Goldswain.

“Thank you for contacting the RSPCA Queensland, we appreciate your concern.

‘We have received several reports about this, our inspectors are aware and are currently dealing with the situation.’

Goldswain later addressed numerous reports to the RSPCA, claiming she was a negligent dog owner and admitting she had not registered her dog.

‘Personally, I would like to go for some kind of sovereign citizenship, a sovereign identity, you know. There are a lot of people I know who are doing that and there is a whole movement going on here,” Goldswain said.

‘I wonder if he will be the first free dog? The first sovereign dog? I would like to fight for his freedom. Fight for its sovereignty, without having to be registered and be a free animal on the land.”

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Goldswain for comment.
