Homeopathy for Warts and Cysts Dear Dr. Goldberg, My cat has developed benign cysts on her eyelids, had surgery on them, but they have come back. A homeopath I was seeing told me to use sulfur 6c daily and some of them shrunk a bit but they came back. Sometimes they bleed when she scratches. What can I do? MD Dear MD, It sounds like your cat has meibomian gland adenomas. These are benign tumors of the glands around the eyelids. They are very common in older dogs but are not very common in cats. Surgery is considered a suppressive therapy in homeopathic philosophy and as such it is expected that they come back after removal (which they did). The ideal treatment for your cat would be to find a homeopathic veterinarian and work with them to eliminate and cure these cysts. That being said, the following remedies may be useful for cysts and I would give a single dose at 200c potency. Nitric acid: This remedy is indicated for cysts on the eyelids that bleed when touched. They may be quite painful. There may be irritability manifesting to other cats or to you. Generally the symptoms may be worse in the evening or at night. Thuja: This remedy may be useful for cats that are very fearful and nervous constitutionally. This is an excellent remedy if there are cases of over vaccination, or came on after vaccination (within a few months). It may be useful if the eyes are agglutinated in the mornings. Causticum: Fear of the dark. Dislikes being alone; Extreme startle response; is useful in patients where there is weakness in nerves or muscles coupled with the cysts. Paralysis may be present in certain areas such as the face or the urinary bladder. Enjoys washing the affected part (will let you wash the eye). Sulfur: This is a good remedy if the cat is confident and seems to be hot rather than chilly (as most cats are). The remedy that you had given may have been too low a potency, or it may have been close to the right remedy but not quite right thus it had affected your cat partially. I would first go back and give the remedy again at 200c potency and wait for at least a month to re-evaluate. Read more Articles by Michael Goldberg, DVM... |
