Cystitis in dogs is sadly not than uncommon. Cystitis is basically inflammation of the bladder. Consequences are frequent, and painful urges to urinate.
In humans, one of the common causes is at the start of sexual activity, so there is no reason to suppose this may not be true in dogs.
However, I believe there is a much more simple and easily resolved cause.
Any disease can be naturally prevented if your dog has a healthy immune system. If this is not healthy, then all manner of diseases can occur, normally focussing on those that are a weakness in your dog.
One of the main areas that cause a lowering of an immune system is an inadequate diet. Practically every processed dog food will achieve this, single handedly.
They start of with low quality, non nutritious ‘meat’ (normally meat by-products). This is then bulked out with cheap, non nutritious filler. Then chemicals are added to preserve, to colour, to stimulate appetite, to try to redress the nutritional shortfalls.
How do you imagine your dog can be healthy on such a diet?
Do you put the wrong fuel in your car?
I’m guessing that you don’t because you know what will happen.
So how do you expect your dog to operate efficiently on a low quality ‘fuel’?
So the first thing you need to do, to help the cystitis in your dog, is to address the diet. Putting them on a raw meat and bones diet may be all that is necessary to cure the cystitis in your dog, if it is acute, recent and mild.
The more serious or more frequent cystitis may need some help. Typical help is with antibiotics, but this doesn’t get to the cause of the problem, and further lowers the immune system.
A better solution is one which works by quickly raising the level of immunity, so the dog can cure himself.
This can be achieved with homeopathic treatment. However, for it to work, the most appropriate medicine needs to be selected based on the cause and/or the personal symptoms.
Staphysagria is a common medicine used to treat cystitis in dogs and across the board species wise.
In sterilised animals, the cause of the cystitis may be anger at the operation, in which they weren’t consulted. However, it’s unlikely that you will see the anger, as it is generally well suppressed.
Apart from the frequent urge and painful urination, other symptoms that Staphysagria may resolve are a skin eruption in sweet, loving and sterilised animals.
