Canine Bladder Infection Remedies | Dog Bladder Infection Remedies

The general consensus for the treatment of a canine bladder infection is the standard course of antibiotics and maintaining the proper level of hydration. But many times recurring cases of infection or imbedded pathogenic bacteria require injectable or rounds of intravenously feed antibiotics.

For some pedigrees UTI’s are more recurrent due to a genetic flaw in the species which makes them more prone to the affliction. Whenever possible, the use of all natural and homeopathic applications may be a way to avoid costly vet bills as well as the animal becoming resistant to the medicines.

Homeopathy: Some dog owners report great success in treating canine bladder infections with homeopathic medications–both as a “stand-alone” treatment and as an adjunct to antibiotic treatment.

Diet and Diet Supplementation: In many dogs, nutritional deficiencies undermine the efficacy of immune system functioning. Bacterial invasions can signal a need for dietary adjustments.

A high-quality dog food should be nutritionally balanced, free of chemicals, and rich in antioxidants. A few are. But not many.

Even so, the immune-enhancing qualities of all commercial dog foods are boosted by a quality proprietary pet supplement scientifically developed to give dogs the nutrition they need by providing a synergetic combination of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and herbs.

These nutritional supplements should have ingredients considered especially helpful in strengthening immune systems and in preventing and treating canine bladder infections:

Vitamin A promotes the immune response by contributing to the health of the mucous membranes.

Vitamin C stimulates the function of key immune cells, including the white blood cells.

Vitamin E, an antioxidant, protects cells against damage from free radicals, the unstable oxygen molecules widely implicated in immune system degradation.

Rich in protein and containing nearly two dozen trace minerals, Blue Green Algae promotes healing, purifies the blood, and strengthens the immune system.

Cat’s Claw (Una de Gato) cleanses the intestinal tract, enhances the action of white blood cells, and acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Iron promotes maintenance of a healthy immune system.

Shark Cartilage, an anti-inflammatory, wound-healing agent, protects against bacterial infection.

Zinc, functioning as an antioxidant, promotes healthy immune responses.
