Parasite Cleanser and Diarrhea Relief
This week on NHV’s vet blog, we wanted to discuss a messy, inconvenient, but common issue for pet parents: gastrointestinal (GI) issues in dogs and cats.
First, let’s look at some common symptoms that may indicate your cat or dog is suffering from GI issues:
Causes of the above symptoms are important to diagnose due to ongoing worsening of clinical signs if not treated. Possible causes (among many!) of any GI issues in dogs and cats include parasite infections, inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies, intestinal blockage, and toxins. A trip to the vet is important when the above symptoms occur so that the appropriate diagnostics can be performed. Veterinarian diagnostics for pet GI issues could include fecal tests for parasites and bacteria, blood work to rule out metabolic, endocrine, infectious, toxic, immune-mediated issues, and imaging such as radiographs or ultrasound to rule out neoplastic or intestinal blockages causing symptoms.
Toxins are a particular cause of GI problems in pets, as they may ingest something they shouldn’t, from rummaging the garbage to eating something on a walk.
If diagnostics are done, and all major issues have been ruled out, it is possible that gastrointestinal disease in your cat or dog could have started due to a gastrointestinal irritant. Gastrointestinal irritants in pets could be pet food allergies, toxins, or even antibiotic therapy.
Toxins are a particular cause of GI problems in cats or dogs, as our pets may ingest something they shouldn’t through any number of ways, from rummaging the garbage to eating something on a walk. One of the scarier things that can cause acute vomiting and diarrhea is our human medications. Be sure to keep all medications far from reach to our pets. An emergency visit to your veterinarian is recommended if this happens!
Food allergies are a very common cause of GI problems. Unfortunately, this is a chronic disease and can be very uncomfortable. Signs of food allergies include chronic diarrhea, vomiting, belching, or frequent bowel movements (chronic itching, chronic skin disease, and ear infections may also occur!). The main gastrointestinal irritants that we see in our practice include chicken, beef, wheat, corn, and sometimes rice. A food allergy trial is the best way to determine which foods your pet is allergic to. To aid diarrhea, which often accompanies food allergies in pets, NHV offers Plantaeris, a fast-acting natural supplement to help maintain normal bowel function. NHV Stimmune has also been very useful for food allergies.
For ongoing digestive and nutritional problems, NHV offers a digestion kit that includes NHV Yucca to help with appetite and digestion, and NHV Multi Essentials for increasing nutrition. For more acute problems like constipation, NHV offers Maris, which can be particularly useful for chronic constipation; and for parasitic infection, NHV Inulin can be helpful. We use NHV often in conjunction with western medications and diet change to hasten to heal and support chronic GI issues and diseases.
If your pet is suffering from GI problems, and you would like an integrative approach to healing, please do contact us for an online consult, and we would be happy to draw up a plan for you.

My cat has ckd and has issues with not eating. I saw that Yucca has phosphorus in it. Is there something else that he can take apart from Yucca.
Thanks
Jumiah
Hello Jumiah,
Thank you for your comment.
Please note that although there is some Phosphorus in the Yucca, there is not a level high enough to do any kind of significant damage to the kidneys. If you are looking for an alternative supplement that we offer to help with the appetite then we would suggest using the ES Clear as this supplement has appetite stimulating properties and would also have the effect of boosting the immune system and detoxing the vital organs. It also has the added effect of helping to boost energy levels.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions or queries and we will be happy to help.
Yours in wellness,
Robbie
