Homeopathic Heart Health Remedies for Dogs
Crataegus oxycantha 3x (Hawthorne berry) is helpful for weak hearts and heart murmurs.
Dose: one pellet on the tongue once daily for 30 days. Withhold food 10 minutes before and after treatment. (Tip: Use with caution in Hypertrophic forms of Cardiomyopathy.)
Digitalis purpurea 6x (Foxglove) may be helpful when the heartbeat is irregular.
Dose: One tablet for fainting or episodes of distressed breathing that occurs after exercise.
Cactus grandiflorus 6c is recommended when there is poor circulation because of heart valve defects.
Thank you for sharing posts like these…What if we could activate a dogs NRF2 pathway do they could ramp up the production of their own antioxidants & enzymes, while reducing their oxidative stress…what do think that might do for our four-legged friends?
That would be GREAT!!
How do I post a question for Dr. Carol?
Hi Donna, you can post a question exactly as you just did.
Thank you, Dr Carol
I have a Pomeranian He’s 18 lb and 13 years old. He has a heart murmur however he is currently panting very heavily at night. I am assuming that his heart murmur is getting worse and really do not want to rely on typical medicine to fix him I would prefer something homeopathic. I read online that hawthorne bery is very good. Can you recommend a dose for an 18 lb Pomeranian? And perhaps you have another recommendation that is something better. Very grateful thank you so much
