Aloe Vera in Veterinary

Animal Health - The effectiveness of Aloe Vera in veterinary treatments. Aloe vera, also known as aloe vera is a plant used since ancient times to promote health and beauty.
 

More and more research around the world ensure the effectiveness of their properties , highlighting the nutritional action (contains various minerals, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins), detoxification, rehydration of the skin, digestive, energizing, regenerating, antibiotic, fungicidal, keratolytic, coagulant, anti-inflammatory (contains no cortisone) and inhibiting pain.
 
High quality products are produced with the stabilization of the substance that is inside the leaves, producing amazing results in various animal species. The company Forever Living Products are examples, bringing the purest aloe vera gel in the form of juices, creams, shampoos, gels, toothpaste, etc..
 
One of the most use on my dog and cat patients, is the pure Aloe Vera Gel, a juice that allows me to better control glucose levels in diabetic animals, nurture and strengthen the immune system of sick animals , especially those with viral infections and elderly patients with neurological impairment.
 
Animals with urinary disorders benefit from the aloe vera juice plus apple and "cranberry" (grapes hill), Aloe Berry Nectar, which provides adequate levels of pH, infection control and dissolution of bladder stones, as I have observed in a dog with urethral obstruction due to calculi struvite and calcium carbonate.
 
One of the most painful for my patients is the joint involvement, such as arthritis and osteoarthritis, as they will further relief naturally, without steroids, through the continuous intake of aloe vera juice added chondroprotective substances such as glucosamine and chondroitin, Forever Freedom, which nourishes, lubricates and regenerate diseased joints.
 
The skin diseases are certainly one of the biggest reasons for coming to the office, and for them, or not in conjunction with other therapies, have topical products based on aloe vera in the form of gels, creams or sprays, with excellent effects healing, soothing and cell regeneration, and high power to penetrate the skin. The liquid soap and shampoo softens the hair, reduce hair loss and are excellent adjuvants in the treatment of allergies, fungal infections, bacterial infections and seborrhea.

Its pH is neutral, not irritating or burning eyes.
 
We, veterinarians, we know the importance of maintaining oral health of our patients through the most appropriate surgical procedures and also making prevention, especially in relation to periodontal diseases. Routinely prescribe Forever Bright, toothpaste comprising aloe vera and propolis, which helps reduce the formation of plaque and tartar and maintain healthy gums.  

Contains no abrasives or fluoride, can be ingested by animals.
 
Having to reach the pure extract of aloe vera, in liquid form, the launcher, I get success in treatment of eye infections and ear infections as well as the rapid clearing of the nostrils of kittens with respiratory complex parrots and "flu."
 
I think one of the main virtues of a good professional, is its ability to try and want to improve, to change when necessary, to study, update and share their experiences with colleagues, whether in that case, homeopathic, allopathic, etc..

We all seek for one purpose, to be respected and recognized for our efforts. This leads naturally to the quality of service veterinarian that we should all pay.
