Madder: use for treating cats

Even in those ancient times, when forests and fields served as a pharmacy, madder was widely used to treat diseases of the kidneys and urinary system - both in people and their smaller brothers. This is a perennial plant, a subshrub, the juice of which is capable of permanently staining fabrics, which is why it got its name.

Only those who live in Dagestan, Azerbaijan, Crimea and the Caucasus will be able to collect the roots of this plant (it is in it that the main healing components are concentrated). But people have long learned to obtain the extract, so everyone has the opportunity to purchase it at the pharmacy compressed in the form of tablets.

Why is madder so valued in urology? Firstly, its action is aimed at loosening and removing stones consisting of uric and phosphoric acid. And secondly, it produces an analgesic, diuretic, antibacterial, antispastic effect.

Thanks to these qualities, stones and sand are painlessly removed from the body, the acidity of urine is reduced, and blood pressure is normalized.

The listed properties are due to the presence of proteins, sugars, ascorbic and organic acids, pectin substances and other important medicinal components in the rhizomes of the plant.

How to save a cat with madder extract?

Treating urolithiasis in cats at home using preparations made from the roots of this plant is very simple:

take 1 tablet. madder extract (this product is sold in a regular “human” pharmacy), divide it into 4 parts;
Grind 1/4 of the tablet between two spoons or grind in a mortar to a powder;
take 25 ml of boiled water cooled to room temperature;
pour the crushed quarter of the pill into the water, mix thoroughly;
Use the medicine in a dose per 1 kg of animal weight - 1 ml of solution;
Take the resulting mixture into a syringe (without a needle) and give it to the cat. Get ready for the fact that your pet will not be delighted with this drink, because its taste is not very pleasant;
frequency of administration – 2 rubles. a day before meals, morning and evening.

If the animal is in very poor condition, does not eat at all and cannot empty the bladder, then the dose can be increased by 2 times (by 1 kg - 20 ml) and the solution can be given up to 4 r. per day. But treatment in such an intensive mode can be carried out for no longer than 3-4 days. As soon as the patient's condition improves, you should immediately proceed to the usual dosage regimen.

The course of treatment should be at least 1 month, but to prevent relapses it is advisable not to stop therapy for 2 months.

The only case when madder is prohibited for treating cats is individual intolerance. If your patient develops hypersensitivity to substances present in the plant, then, alas, treatment will have to be stopped. Otherwise, he will be forced to suffer not only from urolithiasis, but also from allergies.

Owner reviews

Since May, we have lived not for ourselves, but just to prevent the cat from dying. Lots of money for various medications, procedures, catheters, the torment of the cat and our hysterics, because it is impossible to look at all this calmly. Probably as a reward for her efforts, my mother came across a forum, where she learned about the properties of madder. There was nothing to lose, so I started giving the cat water. The cat recorded himself for the first time in 2.5 months!!!! First in small puddles, then more and more. Now almost all the urine is coming out. I can’t even believe that after so much time and medications that didn’t help, the herb helped and so quickly.

Two years ago, my cat fell ill with urolithiasis, and half a year later my second cat fell ill. We did everything possible. Ultrasound, all tests, changed the diet of porridge, meat, baby food, mineral water for drinking, cyston medicine, no-spa, etc. The symptoms were like everyone else, painful urination, urinary retention, cloudy urine, blood in urine, they practically did not part with the catheter. In general, nothing helped, my heart broke looking at how my pets were suffering, and I couldn’t help in any way until one person, a doctor from a military hospital, advised me to use a very good medicine - madder extract. For my pets, the first improvements came after 4 days, and for a year and a half now everything has been fine with us, there has not been a single relapse.

I would prefer madder in its homeopathic form, but in decimal (low dilutions) 1X - 3X. , when the material content of madder is still quite noticeable, but there is very little of it there. You can make this drug yourself. Since you are unlikely to find such a low dilution in a homeopathic pharmacy. 1 tbsp. Brew a spoon into a glass of boiling water. Then take 10 ml of the decoction and dilute it with 100 ml of boiled water. Give the animal 2 ml of this solution 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

Madder is a good drug. But if you dilute it and pour it into your mouth for a month, your tooth enamel will loosen. People swallow it whole, without holding it in their mouth, but the cat will resist and try to “spit it out.” Therefore, it is better to divide it in “dry” form and into the root of the tongue. Next, pour in some water.

We tried a lot, but MARENA KRASIILNAYA really helped us. I found it on my own, as a result of long wanderings on the Internet, collecting information bit by bit. Of course, everything has been agreed upon with the doctor; self-medication is out of the question. The stones dissolved and came out as sand. After a couple of months, the tests were perfect. I have been feeding her cat for over a year, in courses, since the peculiarity of the cat’s metabolism is such that stones form again. So far it has not been possible to correct it. We have oxalates. After taking madder, a few days later the sand begins to intensively come off, I see quite clearly that there are ways. Probably, its effect is not equally effective in all cases, but you can try. If done carefully and under control, there will be no harm, for sure.

Madder has long been used to treat urolithiasis in animals, although this drug was created for humans. But treatment of a pet should only be carried out under the supervision of a specialist. During the therapy process, do not forget about the pet’s compliance with the diet and other recommendations of the veterinarian.

Dosage and instructions for use

To treat cats, you need to take regular tablets produced for humans. The dose is determined according to the weight of the pet (1 ml per 1 kg of weight). It is recommended to take a quarter of one tablet for adults, and for a kitten the dose is a sixth of a tablet.

The medicine is diluted in a small amount of water (25 ml). The water should be boiled and cooled to room temperature.

The resulting solution should be given to a sick pet in the morning and evening. To accurately determine the amount, use a syringe with the needle removed.

When the cat’s disease is chronic or in the acute phase, the dose is doubled. When the escalation of the disease is overcome, you need to return to the original dose.

The duration of treatment is at least 30 days, in some cases 2 months, to avoid relapses.

It is not recommended to stop treatment or reduce the dose of medication arbitrarily, as the disease may worsen again.

A fresh solution of madder tablets is prepared at least once every 2 days.

It is normal for an animal’s urine to turn red after taking the medication. If the color of the urine becomes brown, this indicates an increased dose for the pet and an urgent need to adjust the daily dose. When, after reducing the dose, the color of the urine does not acquire a lighter shade, you should stop using the drug.

Basically, the first signs of improvement are recorded on the fifth day after starting to take the solution.

Instructions and price

Domestic cats often suffer from ailments that are well known to humans, one of them is urolithiasis.
Often this disease occurs in chronic and acute forms. In such cases, full treatment of your pet is indispensable, and madder will help with this. You can buy this plant at any pharmacy; it costs much less than advertised medications.

Madder has been used to treat cats for a long time, demonstrating excellent results in the fight against the disease.

What leads to the formation of such a dangerous disease in a cat? The main factors include drinking dirty water, frequent hypothermia, poor diet, and the penetration of bacteria into the body. All this negatively affects the functioning of the animal’s bladder and kidneys, and leads to more serious complications. The owner should sound the alarm when the following symptoms appear:

the cat’s urine becomes cloudy, an admixture of pus, sand or blood is visible in it, the color of the urine becomes rich yellow;
the cat begins to urinate much more often than before;
fluid is released during urination in small quantities or completely absent;
the animal becomes apathetic and loses its appetite;
an increase in temperature is observed.

Even one of these symptoms should be a reason to immediately contact a veterinarian.

Moraine is a wild plant found in the Middle East, Mediterranean and Asian countries.

Madder extract, which is made from the root of the plant, is popular. The product has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties, which explains its effectiveness in the fight against urolithiasis in cats.

Madder tablets and decoctions relieve pain and eliminate unpleasant symptoms in diseases of the respiratory system, urinary system, gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, and liver.

The instructions for using the drug are simple: the tablet is divided into 4 parts, one part needs to be crushed into powder and diluted in warm boiled water (1 tablespoon is enough), and the resulting mixture should be given to the cat.

You can use a regular medical syringe without a needle or a pipette for this. The calculation of the drug should be as follows: 1 ml of the drug per 1 kg of cat’s weight. The product should be given twice a day.

If the disease is in a chronic or advanced stage, the dose of the medicine should be doubled, and the animal will have to give it 4 times a day.

You should not increase the dose further, as this will negatively affect the cat’s well-being. As soon as urination returns to normal, the dose must again be reduced to 1 ml.

The course of treatment for a pet is at least 1 month. Morena medicine can be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days, then prepare a new one. The taste of this mixture is quite neutral, but cats often resist while taking the medicine, this should be taken into account.

Morena can be used as an independent medicine, but in the case of complex therapy prescribed by a veterinarian, more significant results can be achieved and the animal can be cured much faster.

Despite all its unique properties, the grass can cause harm to the animal if used incorrectly.
