    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.
