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'

A mother-of-two woman who drinks and baths in her own urine for health reasons is under investigation for giving it to her pet dog.

Lucy Goldswain, 42, from Kuranda, north of Cairns in Queensland's far north, 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 begging her to seek professional help and instead, 'asked the Pendulum' if the tick was alive and gave the animal her 'aged urine,' to treat it.

Outraged followers have since reported her reckless behaviour to the RSPCA, which has launched an investigation into the matter.

Goldswain has been shunning modern day medicine for years and believes she is able to cure illness and even grow new teeth by drinking her urine 'on loop straight from the cup you pee into,' or after it's stored and 'aged.' 

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

Going by the user name Lucy Aura, she initially asked her 2766 TikTok followers for advice, before deciding to follow her 'intuition,' and use essential oils to treat the parasite.

However, days later, with the tick still attached to the small dog, Goldswain continued her videos explaining that while Gayaa, seemed to be suffering from paralysis, a known side effect from tick bites, she was confident her urine would heal him.

'The eye has been rolling heaps and not blinking,' Goldswain said. 

'Gayaa is absolutely fine otherwise apart from the eye not blinking.

'He is running around, he is eating and I actually gave him some of my aged urine because I have a pot of it here.

'And he happily…you know dogs happily lick urine and it's 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 has been able to 'speak to animals for a long time'.

'I'm following my intuition and I'm not going to get a consultation because I feel like a lot of times we just pay this money for reassurance… so I have decided not to take him to the vets.'

Angry followers immediately took to the comment section trying to change her mind. 

'Sounds and looks like paralysis! He needs a vet, it isn't about intuition and giving him your urine! Do the right thing by him at the very least. This is what happens with ticks,' one urged.

Another added: 'You are insane. Someone needs to call the RSPCA to go and check on that dog. You need serious help and we all know you wont get it, but at the very least do it for your defenceless dog.'

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

Multiple upset followers later shared their replies from the RSPCA after they reported the situation.

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

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

'We have received a number of reports about this matter, our inspectors are aware and currently dealing with the situation.'

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

'Personally I would like to go for some sort of sovereign citizenship, sovereign identity you know, there are lots of people I know who are doing it and there is a whole movement going on up here,' Goldswain said.

'I wonder if he is going to be the first free dog? The first sovereign dog? I would love to fight for his freedom. Fight for his sovereignness not having to be registered and be a free animal on the land.' 

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Goldswain for comment.
