Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Dear group, I am quite new to the list, I do acupuncture and have only started to get more into herbs and will start with a self learn course to get a good base shortly. I would like to ask a question about how to prepare a remedy for a dog. I have got a young dog with congenital bone problems, he has fused cervical vertebrae and his whole spine is kind of slightly distorted. It was suggested by a collegue to tx the kidney yang and jing, and use Epimedium for that. I did a bit of reading up and came across a paragraph in Jiao Shu-Des book ten lectures on the use of.. and he states that for boosting the essence he has good success with gou qi zi(lycium), and for loss of control of urination-which the dog is now starting as well- shu di hung, shan zhu yu, shan yao, fu ling, rou gui, ba ji tian, rou cong rong, niu xi, xu, duan and du zhong. Would any of these be potentially toxic for a dog, and if I get a remedy made up by Mayway, who I use for drugs here in the UK, how much of each would be put in the remedy?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Dear Andrea - One of my former students started a company a few years ago that specializes in chinese herbal medicines/remedies for animals. The name of the company is www.wholehorse.com reflecting her love of horses. However, I am fairly certain that she makes and ships products for our canine friends as well.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Many dogs will eat the Lycium Berries as treats and I would start that right away.Dr Xie's Epimedium Powder is a great choice, you can visit his Jing Tang Herbal through the www.tcvm.com site. Also consider his Suo Quan Wan formula comes in capsule,powder and even teapills at Jing Tang.Using the bilater BL39 point with vit B is very helpful in stopping the leaking of urine.Good Luck! >drandreahehlmann >Chinese Medicine >Chinese Traditional Medicine > Preparation of a remedy for a dog >Tue, 8 Mar 2005 09:40:05 EST > >Dear group, I am quite new to the list, I do acupuncture and have only >started to get more into herbs and will start with a self learn course to >get a >good base shortly.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi Andrea, I have had extreme success with the herbs mentioned mostly with dogs, but also cats. One of my mentors did warn me about surface releasing herbs with dogs [don't use them!] do to the anatomy of sweat glands [the lack of]. I do call Gou Qi Zi the dog herb in which I feed small amounts to my own dog every once in a while. She also begs for Sheng Di every time she gets a whiff! I sent a a couple L/wind & Yin formulas to a friend in Hawaii [after a phone consult] who's dog, Rex, contracted tetanus/lock jaw from a rusty fence. The vets, $1000.00 later, had no success helping the pooch. Rex was eating and running as normal in two days. Another friend's dog had cherry eye. I fed her four GQZ pieces and the eye was normal in about 20 minutes...both dogs are still alive and happy. I also used Vine Essence Pills for an older, 12-15 year old Beagle, with frozen hips, lack of energy, pain with movement... Next day 100% great results. Dosages are case by case with normal cooking and standard amounts of the herbs with a reduction in the amount of each dosage. I usually start very low and stay in daily contact with the owners as things progress.
