Very Important to Feed a ALL Natural Diet (as any artifical foods are only continuing to put more toxins in the body/kidneys and they have very poor nutrtition in it, as all commercial foods have been heat processed which detroys vitamins/minerals. Freshly ground or diced
meat (raw or very lightly steamed / fried fish, lamb, chicken, turkey,
lean heart etc. To this you can add if he/she will accept it add : for a cat add a pinch of sesame oil, a pinch or more (if acceptss more) pureed vegetable/s: such as cooked pumpkin, raw zucchini, some fresh raw parsley, finely chopped alfalfa sprouts, for dogs give more veggies and add heaps of fresh chopped parsley leaves, to help flush toxins from kidneys daily DAILY. Once daily. Must only
feed four SMALL MEAL daily rather than a couple of large ones. Kidneys will cope better if less there is less to process each time. ** If food
is cold, it is important to warm it up SLIGHTY each time - eg use fresh
raw pieces of chicken each time during the day and slightly fry a few
seconds (without oils) each time/meal time.
Bad Breath: Bad breath will often improve as dehydration is treated and the toxin levels in the body are controlled. Itching: Treating the uraemia will usually reduce the toxin levels and stop the itching. Raising your Dog/Cat's Bowls Elevating food/water bowls can help to reduce the acid reflux. Normally a cat eats with the mouth lower than the stomach, but in Chronic Renal Failure cats this can cause stomach acid to enter the oesophogus and trigger acid reflux. * Keeping the cat's food and water bowls higher than the stomach can help with this and may encourage your cat to eat and drink more. Standing bowls on an upside-down flower pot can often create the correct height for your cat and provide a sturdy base; choose the correct height flower pot for your cat's height.
A kidney
patient is often susceptible to low potassium levels in the body, so this
mineral is frequently included. ... See Below suggestions. The mineral Chelated Zinc improves immune function and accelerates healing. Once a week, add a 500 i.u. of vitamin E. scar tissue repairer As Vitamin C ( a pinch of Ester C ) plays an important role in the formation of collagen, it is important in any rebuilding process. Chelated Magnesium (which is plentiful in green vegetables and green powders) and Potassium are important nerve nutrients. A couple times a week, add half the liquid 2 x weekly. I found 'Natures Way' make a Cod Liver Oil (vit A & D) extra strength soft gel caps. Mixed with a pinch of Spirulina powder. (for vitamins.minerals, amino acids) Cat: Once a week add a pinch (10 mg) B-complex liquid or tablet (crushed) Coenzyme 10 gel/liquid a couple time per week. If need
be when feeding a Cat with the vitamins suggested may need to feed a strong
tasting and smelling food for these occasions human grade tin of sardine(without
salt) or red/pink salmon.(not tuna) Try some or all of the above, but if your cat is not used to eating natural diet and vitamins then do you best and just work on feeding raw meat or slightly fried in butter chicken and turikey and mutton etc. (ALL Vitamins supplements can be bought at your Health Food Store ) Alfalfa herbal tea is a general tonic for the kidneys and will improve digestion. Cats:Add 1 teaspoon in meals daily if possible. Double amount for dogs of course. Although there are very few herbs which have a regenerating effect on renal tissue the Noni Juice or Morin Extract has proved regenerative properties are possible, and both Astragalus and Indian Kidney tea appear promising. Always consult an experienced animal herbalist/holistic practitioner in kidney disease. Felines can only tolerate minute doses of herbal medicines and some herbs useful for humans will have a different effect in feline medicine. Generally, for cats, I find it safer to prepare the herbs in potency or as a tea rather than in tincture or extract form. Dogs take strong herbs well in extract or tincture. NOTE: I would also give 2 - 3 drops daily in meals of Hawthorn Berries liquid Extract a 'Heart tonic' as many cats have a respiratory problem once kidney function starts to break down and become sluggish/cirulation. OR use the homeopathic hawthorn - Cratageus 30c in food once daily. Add 1 drop per kilo/pound
of Colloidal Silver as a natural antibiotic to meals (infection)
Homeopathic
Medicines:
Combination
Homeopathic Remedies:
(Sub-Cutaneously - just under the skin) Hartmann's Solution (compound sodium lactate) Contains Sodium Chloride, Sodium Lactate, Potassium Chloride400mg, Calcium \Chloride(dihdrate)270mg Kidney failure is highly fatal and the only chance for recovery is with fluid therapy. Fluid therapy in this situation is not related to dehydration of the patient so much, rather it helps remove toxins from body, which kidneys are unable to do very well. This therapy is rather easy to do, and it works best if the guardain learns how to do this at home so it can be done easily and regularly. After awhile he/she will not need a intense fluid intake, but never drop down to less than 3 sessions per week of 100ml each time. Ask a/your vet to help you do the hydration at home with the fluids and IV tubing and needle, if he refuses, ask him to refer you to someone that would assist you. It is exceptionally wonderful and a lifesaver for your dog/cat, it is also inexpensive. You will need some 1 litre fluid bags, needles and giving sets. My Centre can also supply this natural support system as well. Once your cat/dog returns home, with the danger period over, you can implement the new diet and additional therapy with the assistance of a good holistic veterinarian or naturopathic animal practitioner. In addition to natural diet, vitamins and homoeopathic care, subcutaneous hydration can be easily learned and is simple as given a insulin shot, it is safely given at home, to improve your feline's condition enormously. Start daily with this, and continue to watch your cat/dog regain health again. Subcutaneous Hydration Subcutaneous hydration will alleviate the dehydration that occurs in the later stages of renal disease. Basically, it involves the administration of fluids under the skin. Nothing will so dramatically improve the health, comfort and well-being of a dehydrated cat as subcutaneous hydration." A sub-cutaneous (under the skin) fluids set up is similar to I.V. fluid administration except that the fluid (Hartmann's Solution) is gently dribbled underneath the skin by means of a 21 gauge small needle. Once your veterinarian has
shown you how to do it, the process can be safely done at home. It takes
about 5 - 6 minutes for 100ml of fluids administered cat or dog -more
fluids for a larger dog( time each session ) it is as simple as giving
an insulin injection. IMPORTANT: The Fluid bag must be warm before each session ( fill the kitchen sink with hot water and let sit for 10 minutes may need to add more hot water to it) feel the bag and if it feels slightly warm then it is ready. Run the fluid through in a empty cup to rid air bubbles and until the warm fluid is coming through from bag. Initially, hydration may need to be carried out once (occasionally twice) of approx 100ml each time, daily, but after your cat's health improves, it can usually be reduced to less times per week. But never completely stop hydration of 3- 4 times weekly. A good way to see if your cat is hydrated, is the stools soft or hard/dry. Summary : Chronic interstitial nephritis is not always a death sentence. With an appropriate diet, supplementation, natural medicines and regular hydration therapy, felines may choose to continue to live a normal life for many more years. Of course, awareness and preventative health care is always the best treatment. ORDER Homeopathic kidney remedies
