Dog Cataracts – Part 2 of 3
My last blog talked about all the issues that can cause cataracts. As I promised this blog will talk about how to prevent them. Adequate nutrition is a must! Feed a preservative free diet or a homemade natural diet with supplements. Dogs and cats require meat as a central item in their diets because a lack of protein amino acids contributes to cataracts and the lack of amino acid taurine causes blindness in cats.
The following are recommendations from experts:
- Per Dr. Richard Pitcairn, cataract reduction will occur simply from placing a drop of eucalyptus honey in the animal’s eye twice daily over a period of several weeks.
- Raw cucumber juice used twice daily as an eye drop or bathing the eyes with a few drops of cold black tea and a drop of raw honey is recommended by Juliette deBairacli.
- Cantor oil is an effective cataract eye drop.
- A poultice of grated raw potato applied twice daily is also effective. Aloe Vera juice with chlorophyll and beet juice is an important internal cleanser. The aloe Vera juice can also be used as an eye drop.
- The bottom line it is very important to move toxins out of the body.
All this technical talk has made me hungry for preservative free and wheat free dog biscuits. I know where there are some cooling on the counter and I’m sure Knight can distract Mom so I can grab a few for us.
