Homeopathic Hormone Replacement Therapy for Dogs and Cats

Homeopathic Hormone Replacement Therapy for Dogs and Cats

Explore our specialized Homeopathic Hormone Replacement Therapy, designed to naturally rebalance your pet's hormones post-surgery or due to aging. Utilizing 30C potency remedies derived from respective canine and feline organs, such as Teste or Ovary, this therapy aids in compensating for hormonal losses. It not only helps protect against related diseases and disorders but also enhances physical and mental balance. Ideal for pets experiencing issues due to hormone depletion, this therapy provides a gentle yet effective approach to restoring their health and vitality.

What is Luteinizing Hormone (LH)?

LH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. In intact dogs, LH’s main job is to regulate reproductive functions: triggering ovulation in females and supporting testosterone production in males. Normally, the gonads produce sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, which signal the brain to maintain balanced LH levels through a feedback loop.

What Happens After Gonad Removal?

When a dog is spayed or neutered, the gonads are surgically removed, stopping the production of estrogen or testosterone. Without these hormones signaling the brain, LH levels rise dramatically—sometimes reaching more than 30 times the normal concentration.

This elevated LH doesn’t just circulate without effect. Research by Dr. Michelle Kutzler and her team has shown that LH receptors are present in many non-reproductive tissues throughout the dog’s body. These include:

• The thyroid gland
• Muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues
• The urinary tract
• Immune cells
• Various types of tissues where certain cancers can develop

The constant high LH levels can overstimulate these receptors, possibly contributing to a variety of long-term health issues.

Health Effects Linked to Elevated LH After Spaying/Neutering

1. Obesity

Spaying and neutering increase a dog’s appetite and decrease metabolism. Studies show that dogs often eat 20% more after surgery, which can lead to weight gain and obesity. The presence of LH receptors in the digestive system and brain may explain why LH influences appetite regulation.

2. Urinary Incontinence

Some spayed female dogs develop involuntary urine leakage months or years after surgery. This condition is linked to the presence of LH receptors in the bladder and urethra. Elevated LH may weaken the muscles that control urine flow.

3. Joint and Ligament Problems

Dogs who are spayed or neutered are at higher risk for musculoskeletal issues like hip dysplasia and cranial cruciate ligament rupture. LH receptors are found in ligaments and joint tissues, and their overstimulation may increase joint laxity and instability.

4. Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone production) is more common in spayed and neutered dogs. LH receptors in the thyroid gland may interfere with normal thyroid function, contributing to this endocrine disorder.

5. Behavioral Changes

While spaying and neutering reduce some reproductive behaviors (like roaming and marking), they can also increase fearfulness, anxiety, and aggression in some dogs. LH receptors in brain areas related to emotion and behavior, like the hypothalamus and hippocampus, may be involved.

6. Increased Risk of Certain Cancers

Some cancers, including lymphoma, osteosarcoma (bone cancer), hemangiosarcoma, mast cell tumors, and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, are more common in dogs after gonad removal. Elevated LH and its receptor activation in these tissues may contribute to tumor development or progression.

Dosing Guidelines for Homeopathic Ovary & Testes and Luteinizing Hormone

These remedies can help restore hormonal balance in pets who have been spayed or neutered — whether early in life or later — and may benefit overall health, behavior, and vitality.
Below is a detailed guide on how to dose based on your pet’s current needs and condition.

 

1. For Healthy Pets Without Health or Behaviour Concerns

If your animal was spayed or neutered before or after maturity and is currently thriving:

• Step 1: Give one dose every 8 hours for 3 doses only.
• Step 2: Repeat the same dosing (3 doses in one day) once a month for 3 months.
• Step 3: After 3 months, give a single dose once a month for life.

 

2. For Pets with Mild to Moderate Health or Behaviour Issues

If your pet shows signs of hormonal imbalance, such as coat changes, weight gain, mood shifts, or mild anxiety:

• Step 1: Give one dose every 8 hours for 3 doses only.
• Step 2: Repeat the same dosing (3 doses in one day) once a month for 6 months.
• Step 3: If symptoms improve, switch to a single dose once a month for life.
• Note: If symptoms return after switching to a single dose, go back to 3 doses once a month.

 

3. For Pets with Intense Physical or Behaviour Issues

If your pet struggles with significant health or behaviour changes — such as severe anxiety, aggression, or major coat/skin deterioration — after being spayed or neutered:

• Step 1: Give 3 doses once a month for a full year, reassessing as you go.
• Step 2: Some pets may need 3 doses monthly long-term for best results.

 

When to Adjust Dosing

• If your pet improves for 1–2 weeks after dosing but then begins to regress, give the 3-dose regimen again as soon as symptoms reappear.
• For pets needing more intensive support, you can start with 3 doses once a week for the first month, then gradually space doses further apart as improvement is seen.

Important Notes

• Always monitor your pet’s behaviour, energy, coat condition, and overall well-being.
• Keep a dosing journal to track progress and help determine the best long-term schedule.
• While safe and gentle, homeopathic remedies work best when part of a complete wellness plan.
