Kantaren instructions for use. Cantaren: instructions for use for cats, contraindications. Features of use in neutered dogs

Kantaren (Kantaren) is a completely homeopathic remedy made in Russia. This drug is prescribed for prevention and for diseases of the kidneys and urinary system. Indicated for all animals without restrictions: pregnant, lactating, aged, puppies, etc.

Compound

The medicine consists of 100% natural ingredients that have a gentle and beneficial effect on the animal’s body: Berberis, Hepar sulfuris, Cuprum arsenicosum, Cantharis.

Cantaren relieves spasms, eliminates pain and inflammation, blocks the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms; accelerates healing, removes small stones from the body, prevents their new formation, improves blood supply to organs, and increases the body's protective functions.

The drug is available in the form of an injection solution – 10 ml or 100 ml.

In tablets - 50 tablets from white to light yellow.

Indications for use

Cantaren is prescribed for inflammatory processes of the urinary tract and kidneys: cystitis, urethritis, urolithiasis (KD), nephritis, the presence of kidney stones, etc. In case of breed predilection of animals, after castration, for preventive purposes.

If we compare dogs and cats, diseases of the genitourinary system, in particular urolithiasis, are more common in cats. Dogs are brought in with pronounced symptoms of the disease or are accidentally discovered when taking blood for analysis.

This is explained simply - in cats, the urethra is much narrower than in dogs, so even the smallest urethra can lead to its blockage and clinical signs of the disease immediately appear. Dogs can accumulate dozens of stones, but the owner may not even be aware of the severity of the disease. Kidney stones in dogs form extremely rarely, mainly in the bladder.

Therefore, timely prevention of the animal is so important - regular blood tests and the use of Cantaren. Pets at risk:

Predisposed by breed: Schnauzers, Yorkies, Dalmatians, Pekingese, Dachshunds, English Bulldogs.
Dogs with chronic diseases of the urinary system: due to the constant inflammatory process in the bladder, the acidity of the environment changes, which leads to the formation of stones of different sizes. The first signs of an infectious process: restless behavior of the animal, frequent urge to urinate, the animal urinates in short portions, often mixed with blood or pus.
Dogs on an unhealthy diet: oversaturated with proteins, insufficient consumption of clean water - all this leads to an increase in the concentration of mineral salts in the urine and the formation of urolithiasis.
Castrated animals - hormonal disruption occurs, metabolism slows down, which often leads to an increase in the weight of the animal, up to obesity and, as a result, the formation of stones.
