Treatment and Outcome

Day 1

Notes:  Sam is used as a trail/lesson horse at a local metro park.There are no reports of exercise intolerance, coughing or decreased stamina. His pulse is thin floating and toneless,his tongue is red and wet, active points are BL 15 and BL23. I treated HT 7 in an even method and cleared heat from BL 15, I thought that went pretty well so went to KID 3 and treated with an even technique. HT 7 filled pulse and KID 3 brought in some tone. I'm thinking this is an issue with Shao Yin, so Im wondering do I treat the Kidney with BWDHW or address stagnation and Blood deficiency with XFZYT? or could I modify XFZYT with some Fu Zi to spark a little Kidney fire? Thanks as always for the assist!!

Cheers, Brett
