Precautions
Procedure of Use He simply encourages the ailing animal to imbibe its own urine on empty stomach. If the animal is not inclined to do so, collect the fasting urine and force it down its throat with a drenching pipe. The first urine of the day contains many essential elements secreted away from the body often due to dysfunction of the kidney cells. Putting them back into the system gives another chance to the organs to absorb these essential elements. There is no adverse side effect as long as auto-urine therapy is practiced with fasting urine, before the animal has taken any food after waking up.
Etiology Causative Agent It is caused by one or more species of bacteria in the genus Clostridium. Also include venous insufficiency, heart failure, kidney problems, low protein levels, liver problems, deep vein thrombosis, infections, angioedema, certain medications, and lymphedema. It may also occur due to prolonged sitting or standing and during menstruation or pregnancy.
