I first learned of the herb Cantharis when a friend of mine had a male cat whose urinary tract was completely blocked. The cat was crying and howling and could not urinate at all. Worried, she did some quick research and found out about this powerful herb. Long story short, she bought some, gave it to her cat and within about an hour, the cat was able to urinate and had no more problems.
In order for Cantharis for cats to work effectively, it should be made into a tonic, but this doesn't mean that you should purchase the herb and try to make a formulation yourself. Since too much of a good thing can be detrimental to your cat's health, it's much safer to go with a homeopathic remedy that has been standardized and developed by a qualified pharmacist according to the guidelines in Homeopathic Pharmacoepia.
Look for a good quality remedy that has ingredients like Cantharis and Staphysagris and Uva Ursi which are proven to help eliminate infection, restore the pH of the bladder and soothe and heal pain and inflammation.
Make sure the Cantharis for cats remedy comes with a money-back guarantee. This is an indication that the company has tested the efficacy of their product and are willing to stand behind it. The best remedies are inexpensive and easy to administer because they come in granule form which you can just sprinkle on your cat's food.
The good news about these herbs is that Cantharis and Staphysagris are strong enough to heal infections and dissolve bladder stones, yet gentle enough to use for prevention every day.
In addition to giving your cat a good homeopathic remedy, take common sense preventative steps, especially if your cat is aging or is prone to urinary tract infections or bladder stones. Make sure to feed your cat healthy food which is free from additives, fillers and chemicals. Wet food is much better than kibble. Also make sure your cat always has a fresh clean bowl of water. I prefer to give my cat filtered water to cut down on the chemicals.
