Tripsy™ for Sheep and Goats

Holistic Kidney Support for Pet Goats and Sheep

Sometimes it can be tricky to know what is causing discomfort for your pet! But a health issue that can affect our ewe and billy goat pals is sudden kidney failure. These two bean-shaped organs have several vital roles: removing toxic wastes from the body and maintaining fluid levels in the body. Another critical function is producing essential hormones that help support healthy blood pressure, make new blood cells, and allow the body to absorb salt. Lastly, the kidney helps process vitamin D - an integral component for calcium absorption and bone growth.

A severe kidney issue that may afflict our sweet pet sheep and goats is overeating disease, also known as "pulpy kidney" or "enterotoxemia." Symptoms may suddenly appear over a few days or weeks and lead to complete organ failure. This condition is especially devastating for young lambs and kids. It is caused by a bacterium typically found in the soil and is part of the normal flora and fauna in the GI tract of healthy sheep and goats. When the bacterium multiples, it releases a toxin that poisons the body. Young unvaccinated lambs and older sheep, feeding on lush pasture or grain or are suddenly eating richer feed are most likely to develop pulpy kidney. However, the disease can occur at any time. Stinkwort (Dittrichia graveolens), a strong-smelling weed, may encourage the spread of this disease since its barbed hairs may damage the intestines and increase toxin absorption.

For kidney degeneration or acute kidney issues, we'd suggest adding a natural kidney supplement like NHV Tripsy™ to your pet sheep or goat's daily meals as well as keep their vaccinations up to date. It can safely be used short-term as well as long-term as a natural health support. Tripsy™ promotes healthy kidney and bladder function and helps keep things flowing.
