Bladder and Stones
Symptoms
Painful burning urination, frequent urination, scant or blood tinged urine, Urinary Tract Infections, Epigastric Pain and Fullness, Iirritability.
Cystitis is the common name derived from it is meaning inflammation and cysto meaning bladder. Bladder problems have come to be known by a number of names – In cats it is referred to as Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease or FLUTD for short or Feline Urological Syndrome or FUS for short. The problem is more often seen in cats than dogs.
Basically the bladder and/or urethra become inflamed or urinary mineral deposits form creating a blockage. The animal wishes and strains to urinate but only manages to pass a few drops. Extreme discomfort prevails with this problem and it is not difficult to recognize.
Many conventional vets will attempt to treat the problem with antibiotics but holistic vets maintain the problem is not caused by bacteria. It is argued by holistic vets that poor diet leading to toxicity to be the main cause of the problem. Specialist vet diets are contradictory in their approach - some add extra acid to their products to make the urine more acidic, while others make their products more alkaline. In short, both approaches tend to cover the problems rather than address the underlying cause
.
When dealing with this problem in the acute stage it is recommended that the animal be put on a liquid fast of broth and that pure water be given rather than chlorinated or fluorinated water to limit mineral intake.
Diet, like all other health problems can be very influential particularly with stones. What is very important is the quality and amount of food fed. In short, a very high quality food which avoids excesses of nutrients, fed in minimal quantities. It is better to underfeed - thus food should be low protein, fat, salt and sugar with no chemicals. Vitamin and mineral supplementation should also be stopped if applicable.
Burns Products contains a range of quality carbohydrates, vegetables, proteins, fats and seaweed which all contribute to promote health and vitality and at the same time allows the internal organs to function in a more efficient manner. The high quality ingredients results in smaller stools which in turn indicates ease of digestion and therefore lower levels of food are required allowing metabolic balance where every organ in the body functions at an optimum level for the benefit of each other and ultimately the whole body.
