Chronic Disease in Young Animals

12/11/2014

0 Comments

 
It is common to see animals who had repeated bouts of diarrhea or urinary tract infections as puppies or kittens, as they were going through the schedule of booster vaccines. So often these animals are medicated with antibiotics and other dangerous drugs and the vaccines are continued. This leads directly to the development of chronic disease.
Chronic diseases are much more difficult to treat than acute infectious diseases, and sometimes can only be managed and not cured. The correct thing to do would be to stop vaccinating, and stabilize the immune system before proceeding. I have seen some animals where the immune system was devastated by the first ever puppy or kitten shot, and they could not be safely revaccinated. What to do? You could check antibody titers to see whether they have attained immunity. You should restore the health and integrity of the immune system. This is achieved with diet, nutrition, and homeopathic remedies.
