Pet
ears infections pose a perennial problem, equally for owners and
the specialists who are called upon to treat them. The fact that
your pets have been domesticated and made to change their natural
habitat is one of the major causes behind their vulnerability to
attacks from infectious bacteria and parasites like ear mites.
The limitations of conventional medications, including side
effects that lead to more problems than they are supposed to cure,
has been instrumental in giving a boost to alternative therapies.
These holistic therapies take a holistic view of disease. The
relatively less popularity of alternative therapies like
homeopathy stems from the fact that they are slow in treating an
ailment. At the same time, the established fact that homeopathy
attempts to remove the root cause of a disease and not just the
symptoms, is not properly advertised.
Homeopathy is a treatment that treats the disease on the basis of
how a disease manifests itself in an individual. It treats
symptoms as the body’s own attempt to cure. Rather than trying
to provide a temporary relief, it focuses on the condition causing
an ailment. Having proved its mettle in treating human conditions,
it is now being extensively used for treat pet ailments also.
Cat and dog ear mites remain one of the most common underlying
conditions behind ear infections in pets. As in dogs, cat ear
mites live in the ears of a cat and cause irritation and incite
the cat to scratch its ears. If not handled in its early stages,
mite infestation can further lead to:
* Increased production of wax in the ears.
* A black and dry discharge from the ears.
* A foul smell.
* Secondary infections.
* Aural hematomas - a localized swelling of a blood vessel.
Homeopathy offers natural remedies for treating ear mite
infestation and does not have any side effects. The remedy aims at
improving the autoimmune system of the cat. A strong immune system
helps in combating any future infections.
Homeopathy suggests different remedies for ear infections
depending upon the type of symptoms and behavior of the pet. For
example Sulphur is advised for cats that prefer cool places.
Psorium is indicated where cats love warmth. For intense itchy
ears and sore ears, Rhus Tox is the most recommended remedy. For
cats that show signs of a thick, sticky and foul smelling
discharge, Graphites is the preferred remedy.
Being holistic in nature, homoeopathy lays more stress on
prevention. Bi-monthly cleaning of ears is highly recommended and
homeopathy has remedies for this aspect of managing ear infections
also. A combination of Calendula Officinalis, Verbascum Thapsus,
Pulsatilla Causticum, Conium Maculatum, and Kali Muriaticum is
highly effective in eliminating ear mites and cleaning the ears.
Unlike allopathic therapies, homeopathy does not restrict the use
of home remedies for dog ear mites as both homeopathy and home
remedies are based on natural products.
