Jaundice, or icterus, is not an illness but a sign of underlying liver failure or red blood cell destruction. Jaundice in dogs is often severe and needs to be treated immediately. While conventional care is required for stabilization, homeopathy is a working, side-effect-free, and drug-free option to provide liver support and recovery.
In this article, Dr. Vaseem Choudhary, a senior veterinary homeopath of Homeo Care Clinic, explains the cause, symptoms, and integrative treatment approaches—specifically focusing on homeopathic treatment of jaundice in dogs.
Introduction
Jaundice in the dog appears as yellowing of the eyes, gums, and skin. It indicates elevated bilirubin in conjunction with liver disease, obstruction of the bile ducts, or breakdown of red blood cells. Acute or chronic, treatment needs to be immediate and complete.
Causes of Jaundice in Dogs
- Liver disease (liver tumors, hepatitis, cirrhosis)
- Hemolytic anemia (immune-mediated breakdown of red blood cells)
- Obstruction of bile ducts (tumors, infection, gallstones)
- Leptospirosis or tick-borne disease
- Toxin ingestion (certain drugs, spoiled food, chemicals)
Signs of Jaundice in Dogs
- Yellowing of gums, whites of eyes, inner ears
- Vomiting or nausea
- Poor appetite or complete anorexia
- Dark yellow or orange-colored urine
- Pale or chalky stools
- Fatigue, depression
- Weight loss in chronic cases
- Swollen abdomen (in severe liver disease)
Diagnosis
- Blood tests (to check liver enzymes, bilirubin, red cell count)
- Ultrasound (to assess liver size, gallbladder, bile ducts)
- Urinalysis (to assess bilirubin levels in urine)
- Liver function tests
- Liver biopsy or FNAC (for complex cases)
Conventional Jaundice in Dogs Treatment
The veterinarians typically prescribe:
- IV fluids for the reversal of dehydration and detoxification
- Antibiotics (if there is infection)
- Liver protectives (Silymarin, SAMe)
- Corticosteroids in immune-mediated hemolysis
- Anti-nausea and appetite stimulants
- Vitamin B-complex and antioxidant supplements
While effective in crisis management, conventional treatment is not always concerned with long-term immunity or prevention of recurrence.
