herbs for dogs

[Guest guest]

My dog has been to see a vertinarian acupuncturist and herbalist and

was prescribd herbs, which I asked for as I am an herbalist and

acupuncturist for people. I called the company who processes the

formulas and was a little surprised that they grind raw herbs and put

them in the formula. For people we always cook the formula together or

in my practice I use concentrated granules, so the herbs are generally

cooked. Is it typical to use raw ground herbs for animals? What

effect does this have. My dog seemed to do worse in terms of her skin

itching although seemed calmer. I did ask and was given the formulas

so I know what herbs are in them. Does anyone have any info on this?

On a similar note if I wanted to use concentrated granules is there a

problem with this? Are there any herbs that you do not give the dog?

Thanks for all the help. I love getting the posts and hearing how

others are thinking and what you are doing. This is my first post and

of course it would be related to my animal. I will follow up with the

veterninarian and also share my concerns. Thanks alot! Brigette

I know that Mayway has a veterinary reference guide, and they are the same

formulas as

we use with humans (eg, i used ba zheng san for my dog recently). they give

dosages

according to size, and you can get either Plumflower teapills, powder, or

tablets.

 

hope that helps!
