One of the
main reasons to visit the veterinarian is to check on the respiratory processes
of our pets.
Although it
is true that the frequency of respiratory disorders increases during winter and
spring due to the increase of viral and bacterial processes and allergy
processes, respectively, we can witness respiratory conditions in our pets throughout
the year.
What are the most common symproms of respiratory disorders?
From the
70% of dogs that consult the veterinarian for breathing disorders, the main
symptom is coughing, followed far behind (about 15%) by sneezing and dyspnea or respiratory distress. On the contrary, the main symptom of 50% of cats is
sneezing, and 20-25% present mucus, coughing or respiratory
distress.
Both
because of the frequency and the large number of symptoms related to the
respiratory system, it is convenient to reduce, as far as possible, the allopathic
medication that cats and dogs receive and choose more natural options with
fewer side effects.
Medicinal plants that help improve the discomfort caused by respiratory pathologies
There are
multiple medicinal plants such as thyme, anise, eucalyptus and grindelia with expectorant and spasmolytic properties to combat the most common
respiratory symptoms. In addition, they help us fight the cause of these
symptoms when they are produced by a fungal or bacterial infection since they
have antimicrobial properties.
During these
breathing processes, it is not only important to deal with the most usual symptoms
that cause discomfort to our pets but also to reinforce their immune system to
accelerate their recovery and avoid relapses. In order to do so, there are
plants like propolis that will take care of the immune system of the animal.
In this
sense, natural supplements become an alternative for intolerances to the
conventional treatment, relapses or simply when looking for more natural
options for prevention and control.
