Using herbs for ferrets
UNA:
GPT(ALT) is very high.
From last week, we are reducing amount of steroid which is prescribed for her insulinoma.
APOLLO:
BUN and CRE is very high(he only has one kidney).
KOMOMO:
She has been feeling sick since end of last year according to gastritis and sometimes she threw up.
According to these symptom, I decided to use herbs to help them.
for UNA:
Turmeric, milk thistle and dandelion might work well with liver problems.
Licorice might work well with reducing amout of steroid, and increasing glucose in blood.
for APOLLO:
Dandelion might work well with kidney problems.
for KOMOMO:
Fennel might work well with stomach problems.
Using these herbs, UNA and APOLLO will take blood test again at end of this month.
For KOMOMO, veterinarian said what he can only do is to prescribe a medicine which can stop sickness, or to prescribe a medicine which can protect mucous membrane, but cannot do anything for her gastritis itself, but after using fennel, her throwing up frequency became low.
[How to use it?]
1) Put herbs and enzyme in a pan, warm it a little bit until herbs are half digested. Then smash it into power. You can use it as a suppliment or you can give it with food.
2) You can boil herbs like when you are serving herb tea. You can make your ferret drink with syringe driver. Ferrets love its taste.
1) is more recommended because herbs are not effected by heat which breaks vitamins.
