The term dementia encompasses a range of brain diseases that usually lead to a progressive impairment of mental performance.
A distinction is made between Alzheimer's dementia and vascular dementia, which is based on circulatory disorders. Mixed forms also occur.
The most important symptoms of dementia in cats are disorientation, forgetfulness, behavioral changes, mood swings, neurological deficits, house soiling, and, in the late stages, urinary and fecal incontinence.
The causes of dementia include age, circulatory disorders, head injuries, metabolic disorders, improper feeding, hormonal changes, tumors, strokes, hereditary factors, liver or kidney failure, and high blood pressure.
The cause of "Alzheimer's dementia" is the death of nerve cells and the loss of existing connections between them. Protein deposits, called plaques, form in the nerve cells and their spaces. These disrupt metabolism and nerve connections.
What helps us humans can also be successfully used in animals. Anyone who wants to help their cat with dementia without chemicals and potential side effects should therefore try homeopathy and Schüssler salts. Both therapies activate blood circulation, metabolism, and the animal's self-healing powers, restoring balance.
No one knows their cat better than the owner. Therefore, they will quickly find the right remedy to treat dementia.
This guide provides recommendations on how to naturally treat dementia and Alzheimer's disease in cats with the help of homeopathy and Schuessler salts (also called tissue salts or cell salts). The most proven Schuessler salts and homeopathic remedies are presented, along with the appropriate potency and dosage.
Every animal is a unity of body, soul, and spirit. Naturopathy works holistically and treats more than just individual symptoms.
I wish you much success, joy in life, and, above all, health for your cat.
