| Dog Herbal Medicine Return to Herbs Return to Dogs Return to Dog Diseases See also: Dog 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 dog diseases and conditions that we may be called upon to treat with herbal medicine are (in alphabetical order): Allergy Anal Gland Arthritis Ascites Atopy Autoimmune Disease Behavioural Problems Bloat / Bloating Cancer Canine Epilepsy Cardiomyopathy CDRM CHF Chronic Heart Failure Chronic Renal Failure CMO Colitis Coprophagy Cough Craniomandibular Osteopathy CRF Cruciate Ligament Cushings Disease - Cushings Syndrome Cystitis Degenerative Disc Disease Degenerative Joint Disease Dermatitis Diarrhoea Disc Disease Disc Prolapse DJD Dry Eye Ear Problems Eczema Epilepsy False Lactation False Pregnancy Fears Gingivitis Glaucoma Heart Disease Heart Failure Heat Stress Heat Stroke Hepatitis Hepatocutaneous Syndrome Hepatopathy Hip Dysplasia Hormonal Alopecia Hormonal Problems IBD IBS Infertility Jaundice KCS Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca Kidney Problems Lick Granuloma Ligament Injury Liver Disease Lupus Myositis Non-Union Fracture Nose Bleed Obesity OCD Osteoarthritis Osteochondritis Dissecans Osteodystrophy Osteomyelitis Pruritus Pseudopregnancy Pyoderma Pyometra Pyometritis Renal Failure Sinusitis Skin Problems SLE Spondylitis - Spondylosis - Spondylopathy Sprain Systemic Lupus Erythematosis Thyroid Problems Urolithiasis Urticaria Vestibular Syndrome The treatment may also include other therapies, in an integrated programme (e.g. veterinary homeopathy and/or veterinary acupuncture along with natural feeding).
