Babesiosis is a parasitic infection transmitted by ticks. Cats and dogs can be affected, and it's characterized by symptoms like fever, lethargy, weakness, depression, anemia, and in severe causes, jaundice. It's a very serious infection that requires urgent medical care and may be fatal if not treated.
These supplements are not intended to treat existing babesiosis infections and cannot replace prescribed medications. They can safely be used in conjunction with your veterinarian's recommended regimen of pharmaceutical babesiosis treatment to help support your pet's body through the treatment.
BK-Detox: it can help the immune system and detoxify the vital organs and the blood that are infected by parasites in Babesia.
Yucca: It has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant properties and the saponins present in Yucca have anti-parasite activity that can help combat the infection.
Milk Thistle: As babesiosis can cause kidney problems and sometimes kidney failure, Milk Thistle can be helpful because it can support and detoxify the liver and kidney by removing toxins that can build up in the system. Due to the potent medications used to treat this condition effectively, this formula is also a good option as it supports and protects the liver, the main organ that metabolizes medications.
Petomega 3: As babesia can affect different organs, I believe that this fatty acid may help supporting cardiac health, coat conditions, joints and kidney.
Multi Essentials: It is a plant-based multi vitamin-like that can be helpful for anemia. It's a nutritive formula that promotes nutrient absorption and stimulated metabolism. Please note this is not as complete as a nutritional supplement.
