ICD in a cat

The term urolithiasis or urolithiasis by doctors refers to the formation of urinary stones (or sand) in the kidneys, bladder or their retention in the lumen of the ureters and urethra. Urinary stones occur in all domestic animals, but are more common in cats and dogs. The chemical composition of such stones is very diverse, for example, they may include uric acid, urates, oxalates, carbonates, phosphates, cystine, xanthine, etc. Along with this, the number of stones formed in the urinary organs ranges from one to one hundred or more. Their size also varies widely (from a millet grain to the size of a large walnut). Etiology What causes the formation of such stones? Unfortunately, there cannot be a clear answer to this question. However, today it has been established that possible predisposing factors for the appearance of insoluble compounds in urine are: genetic predisposition, animal diet, lifestyle (immobility, obesity), infectious agents, systemic diseases. In addition, domestic cats, descended from desert ancestors, easily maintain fluid balance in the body. This reflects their ability to produce highly concentrated urine. This exceptional ability may be a major factor in their development of urolithiasis. It should be noted that in cats the diameter of the urethral lumen is more than three times smaller than in cats. This causes more frequent clinical manifestations of urolithiasis. Uroliths can form in urine under the following conditions: 1. Chemical components of uroliths are present in the urine in concentrations exceeding the possibility of their dissolution, which contributes to the loss of crystals that collect in microstones. 2. A certain pH of urine, often alkaline. 3. The formation of crystals must occur quickly enough so that they cannot be washed out by the separated urine from the urinary tract. 4. The presence of a nucleus (matrix) for the formation of crystals, which can be cell remains, foreign bodies, bacteria and, possibly, viruses. 5. Bacterial flora may predispose to some forms of urolithiasis, because. It is during the life processes of organisms that insoluble mineral compounds are actively synthesized. Clinical symptoms Symptoms of urolithiasis depend on the shape, size and location of the stones. The disease may not manifest itself externally if the stones do not clog the lumens of the urethral canal and do not have sharp edges that would cause mechanical damage to the mucous membrane. Sometimes, when carrying out visual diagnostic methods, large stones were found in animals, more than two centimeters in diameter. The formation time of such a stone is at least one and a half years. However, during this period no complaints or signs of illness were observed. Urolithiasis in cats manifests itself only when there is difficulty urinating, in which the animal strains, often takes an appropriate position, and urine is released in a very weak stream, often with blood, at times interrupted or completely stopped. Urine often contains fine sand. Diagnostics When making a diagnosis, the veterinarian takes into account clinical signs, the results of a survey of the animal owners, laboratory tests of urine, and without fail carries out x-ray and ultrasound examinations, because similar symptoms can occur: when the lumen of the urethra is compressed by a tumor, inflammatory edema, and blood in the urine and pain can occur with acute cystitis, hemolysis, etc. Urolithiasis: treatment Treatment of the disease in question comes down to the following principles: 1. Relieving the acute condition and restoring the outflow of urine. To do this, it is necessary to remove stone or sand from the urethra with a catheter and rinse the lumen of the urethra with an antiseptic solution (done under general anesthesia). In advanced cases, doctors are forced to resort to urethrostomy surgery (creation of an artificial outlet channel to the area of ​​obstruction). Even more difficult is abdominal surgery - cystotomy, the purpose of which is the complete removal of large uroliths (the diameter of which is larger than the lumen of the urethra) from the bladder. 2. After restoring the outflow of urine, infusion therapy (drip) is necessary during the first few days in order to restore water-electrolyte balance and relieve intoxication. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial therapy is also carried out (up to two weeks). 3. After stabilization of the condition, lifelong prevention is mandatory: diet therapy - medicinal food, if necessary, antibiotic therapy, herbal medicine (diuretics, etc.), as well as regular medical examination: urine analysis and ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder. In each case, treatment is selected individually, taking into account gender, age, type of animal, degree of damage, presence of concomitant diseases, and must necessarily be based on detailed diagnostics. The most correct approach to the problem of urinary stones is the prevention of this pathology. For this purpose, the conditions for feeding and watering the animal are improved. Avoid prolonged use of monotonous foods rich in salts (fish, milk, various seafood, mineral supplements, etc.), as well as hard drinking water. The diet is enriched with vitamins, and when feeding a pet dry food, food marked “for castrated animals” or “for the prevention of urolithiasis” is used. We recommend that owners be more attentive to the health of their pets and respond quickly when unwanted symptoms appear, thereby preventing the development of a serious pathology that requires serious intervention.

Owner reviews

Since May, we have lived not for ourselves, but just to prevent the cat from dying. Lots of money for various medications, procedures, catheters, the torment of the cat and our hysterics, because it is impossible to look at all this calmly. Probably as a reward for her efforts, my mother came across a forum, where she learned about the properties of madder. There was nothing to lose, so I started giving the cat water. The cat recorded himself for the first time in 2.5 months!!!! First in small puddles, then more and more. Now almost all the urine is coming out. I can’t even believe that after so much time and medications that didn’t help, the herb helped and so quickly.

Two years ago, my cat fell ill with urolithiasis, and half a year later my second cat fell ill. We did everything possible. Ultrasound, all tests, changed the diet of porridge, meat, baby food, mineral water for drinking, cyston medicine, no-spa, etc. The symptoms were like everyone else, painful urination, urinary retention, cloudy urine, blood in urine, they practically did not part with the catheter. In general, nothing helped, my heart broke looking at how my pets were suffering, and I couldn’t help in any way until one person, a doctor from a military hospital, advised me to use a very good medicine - madder extract. For my pets, the first improvements came after 4 days, and for a year and a half now everything has been fine with us, there has not been a single relapse.

I would prefer madder in its homeopathic form, but in decimal (low dilutions) 1X - 3X. , when the material content of madder is still quite noticeable, but there is very little of it there. You can make this drug yourself. Since you are unlikely to find such a low dilution in a homeopathic pharmacy. 1 tbsp. Brew a spoon into a glass of boiling water. Then take 10 ml of the decoction and dilute it with 100 ml of boiled water. Give the animal 2 ml of this solution 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

Madder is a good drug. But if you dilute it and pour it into your mouth for a month, your tooth enamel will loosen. People swallow it whole, without holding it in their mouth, but the cat will resist and try to “spit it out.” Therefore, it is better to divide it in “dry” form and into the root of the tongue. Next, pour in some water.

We tried a lot, but MARENA KRASIILNAYA really helped us. I found it on my own, as a result of long wanderings on the Internet, collecting information bit by bit. Of course, everything has been agreed upon with the doctor; self-medication is out of the question. The stones dissolved and came out as sand. After a couple of months, the tests were perfect. I have been feeding her cat for over a year, in courses, since the peculiarity of the cat’s metabolism is such that stones form again. So far it has not been possible to correct it. We have oxalates. After taking madder, a few days later the sand begins to intensively come off, I see quite clearly that there are ways. Probably, its effect is not equally effective in all cases, but you can try. If done carefully and under control, there will be no harm, for sure.

Madder has long been used to treat urolithiasis in animals, although this drug was created for humans. But treatment of a pet should only be carried out under the supervision of a specialist. During the therapy process, do not forget about the pet’s compliance with the diet and other recommendations of the veterinarian.

Madder for the treatment of cats

The healing herb madder for the treatment of cats with diseases of the urinary system is used quite successfully and effectively in veterinary practice.

Madder extract is extracted from the roots and rhizomes of the plant. The unique composition contained in the roots helps to crush and remove kidney stones. The dry extract of the plant eliminates smooth muscle spasms and activates the diuretic process. Promotes the destruction of stones consisting of particles of magnesium and calcium.

The dry extract has a strong diuretic and antispasmodic effect. After taking the tablets, the frequency of urination increases, and at the same time cloudiness of the urine is recorded, which is explained by the release of destroyed stones or sand.

Medicinal properties of the plant

Today, this natural dye is more used as a medicine in modern medicine due to its pronounced litholytic, diuretic and antispasmodic effects.

Due to its amazing properties, medicinal forms of madder loosen phosphate, urate and oxolate salt deposits (calculi) in the kidneys.

They also contribute to the painless removal of their breakdown products from the body, enhancing contractions of the muscles of the urinary tract.

They exhibit moderate bactericidal properties against pathogens of gonococcal infections. Salts are washed away from synovial joints (gout, radiculitis, osteochondrosis).

Madder is also characterized by antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Resists the development of secondary bacterial infection in chronic inflammation of the genitourinary system.

Chemical composition of the plant

The root of the plant contains:

• malic, tartaric and citric acids;
• sugar;
• proteins;
• vitamin C;
• pectin substances;
• anthraquinones.

In the above-ground part of madder there are:

1. carbohydrates;
2. coumarins;
3. flavonoids;
4. routine

The underground part of the plant is used for medicinal purposes. Useful elements are preserved if the plant is collected and prepared correctly, according to the requirements. Harvesting roots should be done in early spring or late autumn. The roots are dried at a temperature of 45 degrees.

Action

The active components of the plant have a bactericidal effect and are effective against coccal bacteria. The plant helps to enhance peristaltic contractions of the muscles of the renal pelvis and ureters. Over time, the components of madder destroy urates in the kidneys and bladder and help eliminate them naturally.

Using the plant increases stomach acidity.

Madder activates the water-salt balance in the body of cats, relieves pain in the kidneys during urination, and promotes the promotion of urinary stones.

The use of this plant replaces certain medical procedures.

A few hours after consuming madder, the color of the urine turns red. This change lasts throughout the day.

Dosage and instructions for use

To treat cats, you need to take regular tablets produced for humans. The dose is determined according to the weight of the pet (1 ml per 1 kg of weight). It is recommended to take a quarter of one tablet for adults, and for a kitten the dose is a sixth of a tablet.

The medicine is diluted in a small amount of water (25 ml). The water should be boiled and cooled to room temperature.

The resulting solution should be given to a sick pet in the morning and evening. To accurately determine the amount, use a syringe with the needle removed.

When the cat’s disease is chronic or in the acute phase, the dose is doubled. When the escalation of the disease is overcome, you need to return to the original dose.

The duration of treatment is at least 30 days, in some cases 2 months, to avoid relapses.

It is not recommended to stop treatment or reduce the dose of medication arbitrarily, as the disease may worsen again.

A fresh solution of madder tablets is prepared at least once every 2 days.

It is normal for an animal’s urine to turn red after taking the medication. If the color of the urine becomes brown, this indicates an increased dose for the pet and an urgent need to adjust the daily dose. When, after reducing the dose, the color of the urine does not acquire a lighter shade, you should stop using the drug.

Basically, the first signs of improvement are recorded on the fifth day after starting to take the solution.
