Remedies for your Dogs Upset Stomach
Remedies for your Dogs Upset Stomach
An upset stomach, is a common dog health problem that can cause nasty episodes of diarrhea and vomiting in dogs leaving the canines and their owners quite distressed. This can be even more problematic if you little puppy loves to wander around the neighborhood and chews on just about anything that it can find. A sudden change in the diet, eating large quantities of food, dietary indiscretion and mental stress in dogs can all contribute to the upset stomach problems. While there are a number of over the counter antacids that are available, it is best to stick to simple upset stomach remedies for dogs to prevent any side effects of the medications. Here is a look at the causes, symptoms and remedies for an upset stomach in dogs.
Upset Stomach Causes in Dogs
Eating inadequate, toxic, chemical or decomposed food is one of the major causes of upset stomach in dogs. A sudden change in diet can also worsen the problem. In addition diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, inflammatory bowel disease in dogs and poor digestion can also contribute to the problem. Stress and other such problems can also trigger off an upset stomach.
Upset Stomach Symptoms in Dogs
You can identify that your dog is suffering from an upset stomach when it displays certain symptoms. Some of the common upset stomach symptoms include constipation, loss of appetite, abdominal pain. Other symptoms of upset stomach in dogs include:
- Vomiting
- Loose watery, and in some cases bloody stool
- Lethargy
- Persistent high fever
- Increased thirst
- Dehydration
Restrict Food: For dogs suffering from an upset stomach, the first rule is to restrict the food for a minimum of twelve hours. An overnight fast gives your dogs stomach time to recover.
Bland Diet: After the period of fasting, feed the dog a bland diet consisting of boiled rice and chicken or boiled rice and hamburger. Chicken should be fed only after taking off the skin and make sure the hamburger is fat free before serving it to the dog. Make sure that you serve the food in small quantities and continue with the diet till the vomiting subsides.
Eating Grass: No I am not bonkers. Eating grass helps the dog vomit out the food and ease the symptoms of an upset stomach.
Avoid Dehydration: The constant vomiting and loose stool increase the odds of your dog becoming dehydrated. Fill its bowl with half water and half Gatorade or give it some Pedialyte to replace the electrolytes. A dog suffering from upset stomach should not be fed water continuously. This can only make the condition worse by increasing the vomiting. Check if your dog is getting dehydrated by lifting the skin on its shoulder and back. If it stays firm instead of flapping back, then you might need to consult a veterinarian for introduction of subcutaneous fluids.
Yogurt: Probiotic yogurt and cottage cheese contains bacteria that is quite effective in soothing the upset stomach and the irritated intestines.
Herbal Remedies: Herbal remedies are known to be effective in soothing the disgestive system and restore its balance. Some well-known herbal remedies include plantain, Podophyllum and Alchemilla vulgaris. While plantain is great for animals in hot weather, the others are suitable for animals suffering from upset stomach in hot weather.
While most mild cases of diarrhea and upset stomach can be cured in a few days with these simple upset stomach remedies for dogs, remember that the vomiting and other symptoms can be the result of something serious. These serious issues can result in persistent symptoms which are extremely difficult to treat. So if the symptoms do not subside in a few days, it is a good idea to consult a veterinarian.

Home Remedies for Dry Skin on Dogs
Home Remedies for Dry Skin on Dogs
While your puppy or dog may be a playful little companion for you, and you probably believe that having a pet is all fun and games, the truth is even this little one is prone to its own set of problems and illnesses. Among the many problems that afflict dogs is that of dry skin. It may be manageable in the initial stages, but later gets worse when the itching sets in due to skin problems. Dry skin usually indicates a problem with your dogs health, that most probably, it is not getting the nutrients it requires for healthy skin. Another reason that may contribute to dry skin on your dog is that you are over bathing it. The chemicals in the shampoos, etc. that you use to clean your dogs may strip their skin off its natural moisture, thereby, leaving it dry. Fortunately, these conditions can be remedied at home by following some simple steps.
Home Remedies
The following remedies are suitable when the condition is not too serious. If you find that your dogs skin is too dry and is becoming itchy, visit the vet immediately, who will then treat it with appropriate medication.
- Use a special shampoo meant for dry skin on dogs. Just like our skin is prone to drying out in winters, so is the case with dogs. As such, in the winters, dont bathe your dog too often, and use a shampoo that has been specifically made for dogs with dry skin. This will ensure that its skin does not dry out as much.
- Pet your dog often. Petting your dog often will promote the circulation of natural oils in the dogs skin, that will then keep the skin moisturized. Alternately, you may also brush your dogs coat often to ensure this circulation. Brushing will also get rid of the flaky skin and promote the development of healthy new skin.
- Improve your dogs diet. As mentioned earlier, more often than not, dog health problems emerge from a poor diet. Thus, give your pet high-grade dog food that is meant to improve its overall health, and the quality of its skin and coat. It has been found that adding a teaspoon of olive oil or flaxseed oil to your dogs food will treat dry skin on dogs belly and every other body part, and make it healthy. Flaxseed oil consists of omega 3 essential fatty acids that are a good nutrient for healthy skin.
- Try an oatmeal bath. Dog health experts suggest that soaking your dog in colloidal oatmeal while bathing, for about 15 minutes, will relieve the itchy skin that is most often the result of dry skin.
- Tackle the source of dry skin. Sometimes dry skin in dogs is caused due to parasitic infestations. For instance, if you notice dry skin on dogs ears, it is probably ear mites in dogs that are causing the itching and the associated dry skin. Use some mineral oil dipped in a cotton ball on the affected area to get rid of the ear mites and relieve the itching and dry skin temporarily.
- Use olive oil on the affected area. Many a time you will notice dry skin on a localized patch and nowhere else on its body. For instance, a lot of people have noticed dry skin on dogs nose without a trace of any other illness. This can be treated simply by applying a swab of cotton lightly dipped in olive oil on the affected area, as many times as required, to treat it.

Low blood pressure Symptoms of Low blood pressure Home remedies of Low blood pressure
Low blood pressure Symptoms of Low blood pressure Home remedies of Low blood pressure
Low blood pressure (hypo tension) is the pressure of the blood in the arteries. It occurs when the pressure of the blood is abnormally low. Blood pressure is typically recorded as the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (time between two beats). A consistent blood pressure reading of 90/60 mm Hg or lower is considered low blood pressure. People with low BP may experience symptoms of dizziness or syncope (fainting) as the blood flow to the brain and other vital organs becomes insufficient.
Blood pressure is basically a measurement of the pressure exerted by blood flow on the walls of the arteries, as it is pumped through the body to the various organs. While high blood pressure is quite well defined, low blood pressure is usually relative and not an absolute. While the normal measurement of blood pressure is 120/80 mm hg this level could vary quite widely among different individuals, and low blood pressure simply refers to the abnormality, where the blood pressure of the person is much lower than the normal. Low blood pressure symptoms include fatigue, headaches, dizziness or light headiness, because of oxygen deprivation. This is because the reduced blood flow causes a poor supply of oxygen to the brain and other vital organs of the body.
The main dangers of low blood pressure stem from an inability of the heart to pump adequate blood to the various organs of the body. As a result the organs cannot function properly and there could be temporary or even permanent damage to the organs. Low blood pressure problems will generally manifest some symptoms.
An impaired blood flow to the coronary arteries, which are responsible for supplying blood to the heart muscles could cause a person to develop chest pain, symptomatic of angina, or the person could even experience a heart attack.
Kidney Damage or Failure: Reduced blood flow to the kidneys can impair their ability to eliminate wastes from the body, consequentially increasing the levels of these wastes and toxins in the blood. This can therefore create still more complications affecting various other organs of the body. This is the main danger of low blood pressure. Very low blood pressure levels or persistently low blood pressure levels could lead to rapid deterioration and failure of the vital organs like the heart, brain, lungs, livers and kidneys, leading to death.
Low blood pressure symptoms
The patient with chronic low blood pressure may complain of lethargy, weakness, fatigue, and dizziness.
Common Causes of Low Blood Pressure
Dehydration (due to sweating and/or diarrhea)
Medications (for high BP or other treatments)
Severe infection
Heart attack
Heart failure
Pregnancy
Home remedies for Low blood pressure
The best and the most effective home remedy for treating low blood pressure would be to consume lots of water. This is because dehydration reduces blood volume and leads to a drop in the blood pressure.
Beetroot juice is beneficial for those suffering from low blood pressure. So, have a cup of raw beetroot juice two times a day.
Prepare a cup of strong black coffee and consume this whenever you feel that your blood pressure is dipping.
Put 15-20 gm of Indian Spikenard in 250 ml water and boil it. Now, remove from heat and let it cool down. Have this infusion thrice a day. You can also have 30-40 grains of Indian Spikenard, along with some camphor and cinnamon.
Fill your bathtub with lukewarm water and add one kg of Epsom salt to it. Immerse yourself in the bath for 20 minutes, before going to bed. Take caution not to expose the body to a cold area after this.
In a bowl of water, soak 7 almonds and keep them overnight. Peel them and prepare a paste. Add this paste to lukewarm milk and drink it.
Take a bowl of water and soak 30 raisins in it, overnight. Chew them one by one, on an empty stomach, in the morning and have water.
Holy basil works effectively in curing low blood pressure. Take about 15 holy basil leaves and crush them. Filter the mixture with the help of a muslin cloth. Have this filtered mixture, along with a tsp of honey, on an empty stomach.
Include salt, asafetida and fruits in your diet. All these are beneficial in restoring the blood pressure level.

It may range in severity, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the condition when there is an inflammation of the liver, which is really serious and might lead to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease.
Statistics suggests that more than twenty percent of the population in the United States is affected by NAFLD, and 2-3 percent by NASH. In the case of NAFLD, patients do not have any symptoms or very little, such as weight loss, malaise, fatigue, and pain in the upper right abdomen.
NAFLD occurs in the case of fat accumulation in the liver, which is not a result of alcohol, but the reason may be malnutrition, insulin resistance, rapid weight loss, diabetes, high cholesterol, viral hepatitis, and some medications like aspirin, diltiazem, corticosteroids, amiodarone, tetracycline, or antiviral drugs.
The treatment of NASH and NAFLD tends to remove the potential causes, or risk factors, like weight loss, stopping the use of drugs, or diabetes control.
Drug treatments have been shown to fail to treat the issue but include ursodeoxycholic acid, glucagon, metformin, glutamine infusion, and metronidazole.

-Low-glycemic diet
In order to treat and prevent this disease, it is of great help to avoid high-glycemic-index (GI) foods, as they raise blood sugar levels, like brown rice, potatoes, watermelon, and processed foods such as beer, chocolate bars, and sweetened cereals.
A 2008 study published in the Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology showed that sugar leads to NAFLD, and 80percent of NAFLD patients consumed sufficient amounts of juices and soft drinks that equaled 12 teaspoons of sugar.
Therefore, you should consume low GI foods, like onions, apples, garlic, eggs, legumes, pears, artichokes, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and green leafy vegetables.

40 minutes of moderate to intense aerobic exercise for 5 days in a week effectively helps in the treatment of this disease, as it will enhance the liver quality and balance enzyme values.

Researchers found that the consumption of 1500 milligrams of cinnamon on a daily basis improves NAFLD.
