Homeopathy for Feline Diabetes

Feline diabetes occurs when your cat has an imbalance of enzymes in its pancreas. Since the pancreas is responsible for producing insulin, it is important to make sure that the homeopathic treatment assists the pancreas.

  1. Proper Diagnosis

    • Before treating your cat with homeopathic remedies, make sure that your cat does, indeed, have feline diabetes. Some of the symptoms---such as excessive urination and urination outside the cat box---can also be caused by a bladder or kidney infection.

    Going Homeopathic

    • More and more research is showing the benefits of treating both animals and humans in homeopathic ways, rather than simply resorting to a chemical solution. Homeopathic treatments, once thought to be ineffective, are gaining credibility in the veterinary community.

    Weight Loss

    • One of the most effective homeopathic treatments for feline diabetes is to make sure that your cat is not overweight. If your cat is too fat, set up a daily exercise program to help reduce its weight.

    Bilberry

    • Bilberry extract is used in treating diabetes in cats due to its antioxidant healing properties. Diabetes can lead to infections and sores, and bilberry aids in speeding the healing process.

    Chromium Picolinate

    • This is a very absorbable form of chromium, which is a nutrient vital for the metabolization of sugars and fats. When these are properly metabolized, it assists in proper pancreatic function.

    Veterinary Assistance

    • As always, however, it is best to consult with a veterinarian before undertaking any kind of homeopathic treatment on a diabetic feline.
