Treatment and Outcome

Day 30

Notes:  Corky was seen by rdvm 1 m ago, put on cephalexin for 1 m. Owner reports she is eating well, some diarrhea, wound not worsening. Does not want herbal tx right now - she is wary of herbs....so not sure whether I will be able to treat the whole dog tcm pattern.


Day 150

Notes:  Corky was on cephalexin for a month (as per rdvm), I had suggested to support her with herbal formulas since we knew she was SP Qi, KI Qi, Blood/Yin/Qi deficient. Owner did not choose that, some denial of seriousness of her condition. Corky developed diarrhea, anorexia, incontinence of urine, stool, and unable to get up this past few days. Owners elected euthanasia.
