Echinacea is among the best known supplements & has been touted in people for helping in the recovery from a variety of illnesses, the chilled & the flu. Echinacea is usually prescribed as an immune-boosting supplement for pets. I use it for a considerable number of disorders, bacterial, fungal, & viral infections, & chronic diseases of any organ. It is also of my favorite supplements for pets with demodectic mange.
Echinacea is usually thought about safe when used under supervision. In the older literature, there is a warning not to make use of this herb for definite immune disorders (autoimmune diseases, diabetes) & disorders with diminished immune systems with low white blood cell counts (catlike leukemia & immunodeficiency diseases.) However, echinacea has been used in these instances without obvious harm. Usually, echinacea is not meant for long term use & most doctors limit its use to a few months at a time.
Garlic is a favourite herb used by lots of pet owners to control fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, & other insects. While lots of of my clients swear by the ability of garlic to control fleas, & while I have no issue recommending its use, controlled studies have shown garlic to be ineffective as an insecticide. Garlic also has show antimicrobial & anti-cancer properties. Garlic may cause anemia in canines & felines due to the presence of S-methyl cysteine sulfoxide & N-propyldisulfhide. Therefore, it ought to not be used in pets with anemia. As a general guideline, one clove of garlic per ten pounds of body weight for canines (& 1/2 clove per cat) can usually be fed safely each day. In case you use garlic regularly (as a general food supplement,) it would be wise to have your pet's blood checked every few months to make definite anemia is not occurring.
Ginkgo is a widely known & popular herb that has a considerable number of makes use of. It is best known as a supplement that may improve cognitive disorder in aging people & pets, in those with mild dementia (Alzheimer's in particular.) While its ability to prevent blood clots can be beneficial in definite cases, a widely known side effect of ginkgo is increased & potentially serious bleeding issues. In people, bleeding (including deadly brain hemorrhages) have been reported when ginkgo was combined with high doses of fish oil or other anticoagulants.
