Malnourished and parasite-positive puppy

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

First, An introduction - I am not a practioner either,

but I have been learning and trying various acu and

TCM tools for the last three years and getting some

good results. My main " patient " has been my 14-yr-old

lab, who used to have terrible arthritis until we

found a treatment regimen that works for her.

 

Now I've adopted a malnourished, timid terrier who

tested positive for adult heartworms. The new dog is

less than a year old, so I know he can't have too many

of them yet, but before I allow the vet to poison him

with arsenic to get rid of them, do any of you have

any ideas? I looked in " Four Paws, Five Directions " ,

but there is nothing in it about parasites of any

kind. I thought about just working on strengthening

the heart meridian...

 

Any thoughts? Your input is greatly appreciated!

Hi Franny,

 

Welcome to Chinese Traditional Medicine.

 

I'm afraid I don't know much about vetenary TCM, but hopefully

someone else on here can offer some help.

Hi Franny.

As for your question, when it comes to heartworms, I wouldn't take a chance.

This dog suffers. I myself, though I am into alternative med, treating my dogs

with heartworm pills, that also take care of other known worms. Heartworms are

very dangerous and need to be removed as soon as possible.

I don't know any other way for treating them, if you will find out I'll be happy

to know about that, in the meantime, I wouldn't wait too long.
