Homeopathy for Cats
Through years of owning, working with and breeding cats I have learned a great deal about the cats' ailments and temperaments. Every responsible cat owner and breeder knows that there are occasions where you need the assistance of a vet but there are also times where cats can be treated with the use of homeopathy. I regularly use homeopathic remedies to treat my cats and have found them to be very successful on all sorts of occasions even those where veterinary assistance is required later. Homeopathy is alternative in philosophy, holistic in perception, natural in action and complementary in practice homeopathy can not only come in handy treating sickness but also in cases of temperament. I have particularly studied this form of homoeopathy including the Bach flower remedies. People who run multi-cat households or even own a solitary cat find this form of homeopathy particularly helpful in treating all sorts of temperamental problems new or ongoing. However, the only way to use homeopathic remedies successfully in all cases is by careful observation to help determine the right remedy for usage. Potency of treatment is also an important factor a high potency is useful in a healthy cat which will respond quickly. However a slower healing condition or a cat that is more ill will tend to respond better to a lower potency
Origins of Homeopathy
German doctor Samuel Hahnemann
discovered homeopathy in the nineteenth
century when trying to come up with a
healthy cure for sickness that did not
involve such toxic ingredients and heroic
compounds as were being used at the
time. Around this time Hahnemann
embarked on a famous experiment
involving the use of a Peruvian bark
CINCHONA OFFICINALIS or China
which contains quinine for use in the
treatment of malaria. Scottish physician
Cullen had suggested that the only use of
this was due to it's tonic action on the
stomach. Hahnemann however was
sceptical of this theory and after boiling
up four drachms of the substance and
proceeding to drink it for several day's he
found he began to suffer from the awful
symptom's of malaria aching joint's,
sweating and a high fever. After he
ceased usage of this tonic he found that
all symptoms stopped immediately.
Determining that although this remedy
can treat malaria in an infected person it
can also bring on the symptoms in a
healthy person. Such as many natural
remedies. Hahnemann later described
this as the natural law. Many other
experiments have been conducted since
and homeopathy is continually being
proved to be one of the healthiest and
successful treatments in all types of
sickness.
Why use homeopathy to treat your cat ?
We do not have all the space or time to fully
address all aspects and benefits of using
homeopathy to treat your cats but no
differently than using homeopathy to treat
yourselves or your family, the natural way
can be the most complimentary, convinient
and least harmful manner of medication.
Remember it was sheep grazing on the alpine
slopes we first saw seek out Arnica Montana
to heal grazes and swelling. Nature will
always find a way. For every action there is a
reaction and homeopathy simulates this.
Our cats have smaller internal organs than
ours and have to work much harder to
combat many of the toxic compounds found
in pharmaceutical drugs, which often have
many an adverse reaction on our feline
friends. Far too often long and large courses
of antibiotics are prescribed to treat problems
that could have easily been combated using
homeopathy.
You can use soft tablets to treat your cat
which will dissolve on the tongue before he
has chance to spit it out. Remember wait until
after your cat has eaten and avoid feeding or
water for fifteen minutes after treatment.
