Ayurvedic Guide to Your Dog’s Renal Diseases

Abstract

Some of us know how hard it is for our little pets to handle when it comes to illness related to internal organs. Knowledge of hardships that follow in a medical condition for an organ like the kidney might further help you understand how deep it would be for our pet to go through. They too are mammals and have all the soft organs very much similar to humans. While many others still aren’t aware that animals too have to face problems like kidney diseases, Planet Ayurveda is at your help to both know and familiarize yourself about the kidney diseases that may occur in pet dogs and how Ayurveda comes into play for its cure.

Kidneys of Dogs

Just like human body functions, dogs also have to adopt methods to balance the water and waste products in their body and for that, they have the renal system and so it’s included with a pair of kidneys. Other than the function of filtering nutrients, their kidneys also play a vital role in maintaining blood pressure at normal levels. Ionic balance hence is another vital function that they perform. Hence, like human kidneys, any damage to these can drastically affect the body functions of your dog and so renal health should be very well taken care of.

Kidney failure and other diseases in dogs

Renal diseases in dogs might sound confusing and complicated but it occurs in more than a quarter of them once they pass 10 years of age. The nephrons get damaged over time and make the kidney unable to function properly, leading to malfunctions and diseases. This results in the slowing down of the toxin filtration. This could be due to normal aging of the body organs or other associated renal diseases like renal insufficiency, pyelonephritis, Lyme diseases, etc. This mainly is an issue with old age dogs. Diseases like Addison’s and Cushing’s diseases that affect the suprarenal glands also make the kidneys weaker. These conditions lead to acute and chronic renal failure. The infections get further developed if not taken good care of, to higher levels of chronic failure.

AYURVEDIC ASPECT OF TEETH HEALTH:

In Ayurveda, teeth are considered as part of Asthi dhatu (Bone tissue). Ayurveda texts have medicinal and anti-cryogenic (fight tooth decay) properties. Ayurveda recommends the use of herbal brushes and chewing sticks (Datun) for dental health (Danta swasthya in Sanskrit). Datun have been widely used in the Indian sub-continent, the middle east and Africa since ancient times. Datun can be a good alternative to a toothbrush and also prevents oral cavity disorders. Chewing Datun in morning as well as after every meal is useful in preventing oral cavity diseases. Ayurveda oral practice i.e.- holding fluid inside mouth (Gandush), gargling (Kaval) are claimed to cure oral cavity diseases and 30 other systemic disease.

GANDUSH is filling the mouth with medicated liquid in the morning and holding it for a few minutes without moving it inside the oral cavity.

KAVAL holds a comparatively less amount of liquid in the mouth and then moves it inside the oral cavity and spits it quickly.

DIAGNOSIS

Most dental problems can be diagnosed during a dental examination. During a dental check-up, your dentist will inspect your teeth, tongue, cheeks, mouth and throat. If any serious illness of the oral cavity is suspected, then your dentist may ask you to get the imaging tests done. These tests include:

  • X-RAY of oral cavity
  • MRI SCAN
  • CT-SCAN

TREATMENT

Various types of treatment are given in different oral cavity diseases;

  • Cleaning/Scaling– Dental cleaning is done to get rid of plaque.
  • Antibiotics– In case of gum infection and tooth abscess.
  • Painkillers– In case of toothache.
  • Root Canal– Done in case when tooth decay reaches all the way inside to the nerve.
  • Fillings– To repair cavities or holes in the tooth.

But these medicines cause a bundle of side effects. So what should we do? Ayurveda is the answer!!!We have lots of ayurvedic herbs which aid in managing dental problems. By combining these herbs, planet ayurveda offers some formulations.
