About healing
Healing after surgery or an accidental injury can be a slow and painful process for your pet. Depending on the extent of the injury or operation, this can take days or even months. There may be internal or external wounds and bruising - or even (in the case of injury) broken bones and damaged organs. They cannot understand what is happening to them or why and this makes it very difficult to see them in pain and often immobilized.
The physical process of healing involves restoration and regeneration of connective tissue, blood vessels and nerve fibers. White blood cells have to remove infection and red blood cells have to bring oxygen rich blood and nutrients to the surrounding area. Effective pain control will help to make your pet comfortable, prevent stress and permit healing rest.
How can natural remedies help?
Your pet’s body has the inherent ability to heal itself from any injury, whether this is surgery or an accidental injury. The immune system and healing potential of animals’ bodies is one of the greatest miracles of nature! Provided that you give your pet proper care and nurturing, healing will take place by itself.
