Treatment of Kidney Stones in Dogs With Diet and Homeopathy
July 20, 2010 | 
Author The treatment of kidney stones in dogs, need to look at the whole of the dog, not just one aspect. In other words, the cause needs to be addressed. Only then can you expect to get lasting results from a lack of recurrence.
It’s important to realise that kidneys stones in dogs are more often than not a result from a dietary imbalance.
Most dogs are fed a processed, commercial dog food. These are inevitably of low quality, supplemented with isolated and synthetic nutrients and preserved with highly toxic preservatives, despite the claims on the label. Even the so called ‘high quality’ processed dog food falls into this category.
Low quality dog food means little meat. This not only starves the dog, but makes their body pH too alkaline. A dog needs an acid pH to be healthy. An alkaline pH in a dog can predispose towards calculus or stone formation.
The addition of synthetic and isolated nutrients are at best excreted, and at worst create bodily problems, in particular kidney stones. The addition of highly toxic preservatives ensure a long shelf life. This is great for the producer and the retailer, but lousy for the health of your dog.
Converting the diet of your dog to a quality raw meat and bones diet is likely to ensure it never happens again. However, as the passage of kidney stones can be very painful, your dog may need some assistance.
Consulting with a professional homeopath who treats animals, will result in the best possible selection of the most suitable homeopathic medicine for his particular and personal symptoms.
However, you may not have one close enough to visit. In which case, you may still be able to do a lot of good by the use of some homeopathic medicines, but they are probably better if more general in application. It takes time to get the hang of what you are looking for, when using homeopathy.
The homeopathic medicine Urtica urens is a good, general medicine which can support the kidneys, help dissolve the calculus and de-tox the chemical burden all at once. The suggested potency (strength) to use is 6c. Dose two or three times a day for a week or two, depending on the results.
Urtica urens is also good at resolving urticaria, which is a skin condition also known as hives. It can come about as a result from an allergic reaction to something. The skin typically has round, red welts which are extremely itchy. Swelling can occur.
This condition is often suppressed by cortisone.
