| Cat Herbal Medicine Return to Herbs Return to Cats Return to Cat Diseases See also: Cat Cases Refer to: Care & Administration of Herbal Medicines (.pdf file) Cats and dogs are carnivores, with cats being more specialised and dependent upon prey animals than dogs, who are more omnivorous. In the wild, dogs can be expected to eat fruit, plants and roots, in addition to herbivore dung. Herbs are therefore more obviously natural as a food or medicine for dogs than might be the case for cats. Dogs also appear to have the capability to self-medicate with naturally-available herbs (zoopharmacognosy). We suspect that cats may do that too but we have not ourselves witnessed the phenomenon with cats. Dogs and cats generally accept herbal medicines very readily, usually added to the daily food ration. A sample of the cat diseases and conditions that we may be called upon to treat with herbal medicine are (in alphabetical order): Allergy Anal Gland Arthritis Ascites Asthma Autoimmune Disease Behavioural Problems Chronic Renal Failure Constipation Cough CRF Cystitis Dermatitis Diarrhoea Dysautonomia Ear Problems Eczema Eosinophilic Dermatitis Eosinophilic Granuloma Eosinophilic Skin Disease Fears Feline Dysautonomia Feline Urological Syndrome Flea Allergy FUS Gingivitis Gum Disease Heart Disease Heart Failure Hepatitis Hormonal Alopecia Hormonal Problems Hyperthyroid Hypothyroid IBD IBS Infertility Jaundice Key Gaskell Syndrome Kidney Problems Ligament Injury Liver Disease Megacolon Miliary Dermatitis Miliary Eczema Non-Union Fracture Obesity Osteoarthritis Pruritus Renal Failure Sinusitis Skin Problems Sprain Stomatitis Thyroid Problems Urine Spraying Urolithiasis Urological Syndrome The treatment may also include other therapies, in an integrated programme (e.g. veterinary homeopathy and/or veterinary acupuncture along with natural feeding).
