Homeopathy for Cats - Ear mites
      
    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.
