Can cats and dogs take Chinese medicine? Herbal healing properties? Examples of Chinese medicine treatments that are “miraculous but not miraculous”

The Materia Medica works of the past dynasties bring together the long history of medicine of ancient Chinese ancestors and is a long history of pharmaceutical development.

From the earliest 365 herbal species in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" to the 1,892 species in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to the 5,767 species in the modern "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine", the content of the works has been constantly updated, revised and filled with omissions, culturally It has been worth thousands of years, developing the environment, human body, pathology, treatment, and delving into a whole system of macro knowledge. Among them, traditional Chinese veterinary medicine and traditional Chinese medicine have always had the same root and flow in the long history, forming a system of mutual learning and common development.

There are many articles online that generally ask: Can cats and dogs take Chinese medicine? Are Chinese medicines poisonous?

The answer is: yes dog and cat can takes chinese medicine: herbs, but of course not all herbs are suitable for cats and dogs. All prescriptions require countless clinical certifications by predecessors before reaching the current reference conclusion. As for whether it is poisonous or not, there is a black medicine commonly known as "dog ginseng". According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "It can be used to treat all kinds of diseases in dogs and cats." There are also a lot of records that this black medicine actually has a wider range of effects on cats. Of course, there are herbal remedies that can kill cats and dogs, so which herbal medicine is used must be rigorous

Many people know that Chinese medicine pays attention to "looking, smelling, asking, and palpating". When it comes to serious diseases, it is generally recommended to go directly to a Chinese veterinarian for treatment.

Because we don’t know the pathology, it is indeed difficult to start. Generally, the therapeutic dose of traditional Chinese medicine will be larger than that of herbal health care. This is also because the general disease is delayed and has not been treated for a long time, so it is necessary to achieve a balanced effect more quickly. The focus of herbal Chinese medicine health care is to gradually add the body's yin and yang into the daily diet. The herbs used are generally "neutral" in nature and in small doses. Codonopsis pilosula, salvia, astragalus, and wolfberry are often used. These herbs are not toxic to furry children and are good for yin and yang at the same time. Herbs that offer benefits in two ways.

Traditional Chinese medicine has always advocated "prevention is better than cure", hoping to help the body maintain health to the greatest extent before problems occur, thereby avoiding diseases and paying attention to internal balance. Because the damage to some internal organs is irreversible, it is more expected to rely on recuperation. , to achieve long-term healthy results.

But when encountering invisible killers such as "inflammation", "pus", or even "critical illness",

How does Chinese medicine cure diseases? The following are examples of diagnosis:

Primary paranasal sinus pyometra in cats

Symptoms: Difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, kicking, loud snoring, swelling and runny nose, facial ulceration, pus discharge, and damage to the nasal septum

Escherichia infection was detected by Western medicine, and she was sensitive to amikacin. After taking the medicine, she continued to vomit and her condition became worse, so she was transferred to traditional Chinese medicine for treatment

Medication: Take Xinyi Powder in decoction, 5ml a day, 2 times a day

(Xinyi, Liquor Anemarrhena, Liquor Phellodendron, Adenophora adenospermum, Woody scent, Tulip, Alum)

Diagnosis of symptoms: Disease pathogens enter the lungs, causing stagnation of heat in the lungs. Lung heat steams up to the sinuses. As time passes, the heat will cause sepsis. The condition will not heal. Damage to yin and body fluid will lead to yin deficiency and excess fire. Therefore, It needs to nourish yin and reduce fire.

Pharmacology: Nourishing yin and reducing fire, penetrating the brain to drain pus, and stopping nasal discharge

Effects: Appetite improved in 1 week, shadows in the sinuses disappeared, pus discharge stopped after 2 weeks, weight was restored after 3 weeks

Health care: Daily diet can cause too much yang energy (fire energy) in the body and insufficient yin energy, resulting in dry mouth, itchy skin, frequent urination, etc. Generally speaking, modern cats and dogs do not lack nutrition and balance. For a long time, high-calorie, high-protein, and high-fat dog food has been available all over the country, all following "advanced foreign" practices. In addition, most dogs and cats in the area have a damp-heat constitution, so they have recurring skin diseases and rhinitis. If a high-protein daily diet can be combined with eating a lot of vegetables and properly nourishing yin and reducing fire, many skin diseases and inflammations will be alleviated and recovered, and if health care is taken properly, many will not even get sick.

Puppy Gastroenteritis

Symptoms: After eating leftovers, vomiting and diarrhea six times, fever 36°C, lying on the ground, fecal incontinence, dry nose and mouth, thin pulse, and no reflexes in the eyelids

Western medicine treats gastroenteritis according to conventional methods, including saline solution and antibiotics. If the condition worsens, switch to traditional Chinese medicine for treatment

Medication: Clear away heat and dampness, warm yang, strengthen spleen, and stop vomiting

(codonopsis, astragalus, cinnamon twig, ginger, ginger pinellia, poria, coptis, tangerine peel)

Diagnosis: In the late stage of gastroenteritis, the body is exhausted, the yang is weak, the limbs are reversed, and there is blood. It is a syndrome of cold and heat, deficiency and excess. The treatment principle is to use both clearing and tonifying. Cold and warm, sweet and bitter are used together. Codonopsis and Astragalus are sweet and warm to nourish qi and strengthen the spleen. Guizhi warms the four limbs and restores yang and relieves dysentery. Coptis dries dampness and stops dysentery. Ginger, combined with tangerine peel and ginger pinellia, relieves vomiting and controls the cold caused by coptis.

Pharmacology: Sweet and warming, nourishing qi, warming and clearing the air, drying dampness and stopping dysentery and vomiting

Effects: Return to normal body temperature on the third day, increase appetite, discharge formed feces, go home for treatment

Health care: Puppies have sensitive gastrointestinal tracts. When eating human-cooked food, you must pay special attention to food selection. Your daily diet should not contain too many irritating, spicy, and greasy foods. Gastroenteritis is due to gastrointestinal dysfunction. The cause can be damp and hot, causing bitter mouth, dry mouth and diarrhea; cold evil can cause abdominal pain and loss of appetite; usually, you should increase vegetable intake and exercise appropriately, and traditional Chinese medicine health care can be included in the diet through tonic, heat-clearing, detoxification, etc., thereby gently regulating it body, removing latent heat toxins and nourishing the weak body.

Herbal supplements: Codonopsis pilosula (flat), astragalus (warm), ginseng (warm), Schisandra chinensis (mild), yam (flat)

Heat-clearing and detoxifying: Honeysuckle (slightly cold), Plantago (slightly cold), Snow Fungus (slightly cold)

In the face of critical circulatory failure in animals, the Rossis Research Institute showed thatSchisandra chinensis can stimulate breathing and increase blood pressure. The effect is significant.

Chinese Medicine for Dogs and Cats" records that an oral liquid made from honeysuckle and other herbs (radix isatis, bupleurum, radix root, and patchouli) can be used to treat suspected canine plague (collective fever, dry nose, cough, conjunctival congestion) , upper respiratory tract infection) in a total of 101 cases. As the main drug and auxiliary drug, the effective rate reached over 95%.

Feline fatty liver (high risk - invisible cat killer)

Effects: Mental improvement, no vomiting, elimination of feces, active drinking, skin yellowing disappeared, liver index returned to normal, nasogastric tube removed, active eating started, recovery after 2 weeks

Remarks: The traditional Chinese medicine view of fatty liver is that a appropriate diet is required. The main cause of fatty liver is Weakness of the spleen and stomach, abnormal transportation and transformation, dampness syndrome, qi stagnation and blood stasis, etc. These factors may be related to poor eating habits, emotional stress, lack of exercise, etc. There are three different situations:

Weak spleen and stomach type: The focus is on regulating the function of the spleen and stomach, enhancing digestion and absorption, and promoting metabolism. Commonly used drugs include Sijunzi Decoction, Liujunzi Decoction, etc.
Damp-heat intrinsic type: focuses on clearing away heat and promoting dampness, soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, and excreting damp-heat and fat accumulation in the body. Commonly used drugs include Longdan Xiegan Decoction, Yinchenhao Decoction, etc.
Qi stagnation and blood stasis type: regulate qi, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and promote blood circulation and metabolism. Commonly used drugs include Huoxue Huayu Decoction, Baopu Pills, etc.

Health care: Avoid greasy, high-fat, high-sugar, and high-calorie foods, and eat more healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, and low-fat protein.

In addition, you can also consume some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in moderation, such as hawthorn, lotus seeds, poria, etc., to assist treatment.

In fact, there are many similar examples of cysts, inflammations, tumors, and cancers. Although modern society is generally accustomed to Western medicine's "medicine to cure the disease," we must realize that medicine only removes the symptoms and does not cure the disease. The crux is often the method of "water pouring on fire". For example, a cat's constitution is cold, and if it takes too many antibiotics, the body will be weak. In the long run, the cause of the disease will become more serious, and the consequences will be endless.

Of course, "precious" medicinal materials are not necessarily suitable for furry children. Sometimes health products, although non-toxic, are too strong and irritating, and may turn into fire and poison. For example, turmeric powder, many parents will give a certain dose to their furry children when they are sick, thinking that it has anti-inflammatory effects and should help the condition. Unfortunately, turmeric is quite irritating in nature and can cause diarrhea and vomiting. And turmeric is warm in nature, and if the body is deficient in yin and strong in fire, it is actually even more untouchable. So you still need to be very careful with the amount of herbs you use.

It is recommended that all parents and mothers who love their furry babies, if they want to give herbal medicine to their furry babies, use it in a way that is mild, low-irritation, and closer to food supplements, so that their furry babies can be healthy and stay with us throughout their lives.

For example, when cattle and horses are fed, the medicine for eliminating weeds should be used; when dogs and pigs are fed, the medicine for eliminating bran beans should be used.

There are also exclusive products, such as black medicine for cats and yellow medicine for horses.

And the disease is unique to one animal, and there are special prescriptions for its treatment.

The rest are the same as the National People's Congress section.
