Herbal Remedy for Diabetes Mellitus in Cats

Diabetes in cats is a common pancreatic disorder that occurs when sugar builds up in the bloodstream instead of entering the tissue to provide energy. If left untreated, your cat can be prone to infections, a slower healing process, and even blindness. Diabetes can also lead to heart, liver or kidney disease.

Some cat breeds are more prone to diabetes, such as the Russian Blue. You can find out if your cat breed is more prone to contract diabetes at NHV breeds and conditions online.

If you have questions about any of our holistic supplements, you can ask an expert at NHV because we want to help your kitty live a longer healthier life naturally.

What is Diabetes in Cats and Dogs?

Like us, our furriends need glucose, a type of sugar, to fuel their bodies. Diabetes happens when the body cannot correctly turn glucose in the blood into energy that can be used. Glucose is also stuck in furkiddos’ bloodstream and accumulates. This unusual blood chemistry eventually leads to poison in the system, causing further damage and health problems.

Symptoms of Diabetes in Dogs and Cats

You may be wondering if there is any way you can tell if your furkid has diabetes.

Here are some general symptoms you may want to look out for:

• Excessive thirst and urination
• A drop in weight but increased appetite
• Cloudy eyes
• Poor hair and coat condition
• Fatigue

Left untreated, the condition will escalate. So if you notice any of the above signs in your little one, you should take them to see a vet as soon as possible.

How NHV Remedies Support Diabetes in Dogs and Cats

Our Diabetes Super Support Gold Kit can support your little one in conjunction with traditional medicine.

Mellit is our fundamental support for diabetes in cats and dogs. As diabetes spikes up the blood sugar and blood pressure of your little one, herbs like Jambolan and Astragalus may help regulate them. The hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) activity in Devil’s club may also help balance the blood sugar. This herb also helps with balancing the metabolism of your little one.

Dandelion, on the other hand, is an anti-inflammatory tonic that may help protect the kidneys from the damage of diabetes. Diabetes can cause cataracts and urinary infections; blueberry helps prevent that. On top of that, the formulation may help with overall vitality.

Besides cataracts and urinary infections, diabetes can also lead to liver issues and kidney failure. Milk Thistle may improve liver and kidney function and support liver regeneration.

In addition, the formulation is well known for its use in treating liver disease because studies have shown its possible benefits in decreasing or reversing damage to the liver. This herb's main compound, Silymarin, may even help remove the toxins in the liver and other organs.

The last supplement included in this bundle is Yucca, which helps with discomfort management. The herbal extract is highly nutritious as it contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. It may also help reduce the inflammation caused by diabetes.

Pancreatic Support for Dogs and Cats

No one wants to get the news that their sweet four-legged companion is suffering from pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The pancreas is a squishy, pink gland (that lays to the right of your furkiddo's stomach and is connected to the small intestine) has two main jobs, which are:

1.) To release digestive enzymes to breakdown proteins, carbs and fats (they become active once they reach the small intestine)

2.) To secrete insulin/glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels

Pancreatitis disrupts the normal functioning of digestive enzymes - typically, these enzymes are stored in their inactive form and are only released when needed. When the pancreas is inflamed, enzymes are released and can digest the pancreas itself, leading to severe pain and inflammation. Further inflammation can lead to other diseases like diabetes mellitus (disruption of insulin/glucagon pathways) or inflammation of surrounding tissues (eg. the liver and small intestine). Supporting your pet with cat or dog pancreatic support supplements can help improve their symptoms and put your furry friend back on the path to recovery.

There Are Two Types of Pancreatitis:

Acute Pancreatitis: can happen suddenly, with no previous sign of the condition. It must be treated as quickly as possible and can be life-threatening to other organs if the inflammation spreads.

Chronic Pancreatitis: develops slowly over time and can be a result of repeated attacks of severe pancreatitis.

How NHV Remedies Support Pets With Pancreatitis

It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of pancreatitis. Possible causes could be a high-fat diet (specific to dogs), trauma to the organ (eg. a car accident), certain types of medication, or stress from a chronic illness like hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, or inflammatory bowel disease (specific to cats). Symptoms can include lethargy, appetite loss, weakness, abdominal pain, dehydration, vomiting, or diarrhea. To get your furkiddo tested for acute or severe pancreatitis, contact your vet to run some diagnostic tests like a SPEC (specific pancreatic lipase test), ultrasound or a radiograph.

Treatment for pancreatitis often includes intense hydration therapy and supports for pain and nausea. Your little one may require a few sleepovers at the vet so that they can benefit from IV fluids that aid with circulation and encourage the pancreas to heal naturally. NHV’s Pancreas Imbalance Kit 1 is specially formulated to help relieve discomfort, help with inflammation, support the pancreas functioning, as well as support other vital organs like the liver and kidneys. Mellit works to soothe pancreatic inflammation, is beneficial for healthy enzyme function and aids to regulate blood sugar levels. Meanwhile, Milk Thistle, supports the liver and encourages the healthy elimination of toxins, and strengthens immunity. Turmeric contains many effective properties that can soothe discomfort, inflammation and support healthy liver function.
