Many people consider their cats to be part of their families. When a feline becomes sick, it is often hard on their owner as well as the pet. Feline owners have been increasingly turning to holistic treatment when they learn that their cat has cancer. Holistic care can often be less invasive than other medical methods. Read on to learn how to treat feline cancer holistically.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

    Prevention

  1. Step 1

    Monitor your cat's diet. Holistic vets recommend a diet of whole raw food for your feline. A diet consisting of 80 percent meat and 20 percent non-starchy vegetables is suggested.

  2. Step 2

    Watch your feline's water. Tap water may have chemicals, fluorine, chlorine and other elements, which add stress to a cat's system.

  3. Step 3

    Ensure your cat gets exercise. It may not be as easy as it sounds for some cats. Encouraging them to play is a great exercise.

  4. Cancer Treatment

  5. Step 1

    Find a holistic veterinarian. They will be able to give you the latest holistic health care and advice.

  6. Step 2

    Administer immune support supplements. These will help build up your feline's immune system that is compromised by cancer.

  7. Step 3

    Give antioxidants to your cat. These reinforce the feline's immune system.

  8. Step 4

    Consider homeopathic treatment. This treatment is very specific to each cat. Have a veterinarian trained in homeopathy perform this procedure.

  9. Step 5

    Think about acupuncture. Acupuncture can be helpful with pain management for your feline suffering from cancer.

Tips & Warnings
  • Schedule a follow up appoint with your holistic vet after diagnosis. You will have many questions occur to you following the initial appointment.
  • Ensure your veterinarian has been trained in holistic, acupuncture and homeopathic procedures.
