WHAT IS THE CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT
It is important to seek treatment immediately if you suspect your dog has contracted canine distemper. While there is no known cure, conventional treatment usually involved antibiotics for secondary infections and intravenous fluids. Because most dogs are vaccinated for the distemper virus, the incidence of this disease has greatly decreased over the years. However, many vets and animal caretakers believe that yearly vaccinations are leading to more and more disorders of the immune system which results in dogs and cats becoming suspectible to many diseases.
HOW CAN NATURAL REMEDIES HELP
Distemper is one disease where there is a wealth of evidence that homeopathic remedies have a much higher success rate than traditional methods. The primary ingredient in many homeopathic remedies, Distemperinum, has a proven track record in recovering animals who have contracted the disease. Other ingredients used in the homeopathic approach to treatment include:
- Bryonia C6 – Bryonia C6 is a proven remedy for the treatment of dry mucus membranes. It is also effective in clearing mucus from the chest.
- Echinacea Purpurea – Echinacea Purpurea is an herb used for the treatment of colds, flus and other viral-type infections. This immune boosting herb has been very helpful with patients who have been through chemotherapy.
