To keep your pets kidneys healthy nothing is netter than a natural diet, raw meat is the best thing you can feed your cat or dog you can buy raw meat ready prepared and tested for your pets from many suppliers and it can even work out much cheaper than commercially prepared pet food. With raw food you will see a difference in your cats, teeth and gums, coat and general immunity. Please find a list of raw suppliers at the bottom of this page.

SKIN 

 

Dogs are more susceptible to skin disease than cats. Fleas are a major cause of skin irritation and of course this problem can be resolved easily. Staphysagria in a 6x solution applied directly to the coat will help to illiminate fleas. Skin complaints caused by other problems can respond very well to homeopathy, it is one section of treatment where I have seen huge response. Unfortunately these days skin complaints are often prescribed huge courses of hormones and steroids by vets which have many terrible side effects and often leave the animal a lot worse off than it was originally the treatment prescribed can even aggravate the condition and cause great hair loss. If your pet has a skin condition we recommend seeking advice from a homeopathic vet to help you diagnose exactly what the problem is.

HEART DISEASE

 

CACTUS AND CRATAEGUS TINCTURE     Will help to strengthen the heart in early stages of the disease

 

EEL SERUM   12c   Wonderful as a supportive measure when given reguarly

 

 

EYES 

 

CLAMYDIA NOSODE    Infection, clamydia based [many eye infections in particular cats are clamydia based the vets will often prescribe antibiotic eye ointments that are intended to fight clamydia based infection] white, creamy discharge present the nosode will also help to strengthen the immune system and fight off the clamydia infection elsewhere in the body.

 

EUPHRASIA     Early stages of conjunctivititis

 

LEDUM   Scratch to lense or foreign object in eye

 

 

THYROID

 

IODIUM   30c  Given daily will help to balance the glad function, when an extreme thirst, greasy unkept coat and exhaustion are present this remedy is particuarly useful if use alongside thyroidinum 30C for increased results or if no response to iodum is seen thyroidinum alone could be helpful.
