Hi there,

Any change in the animal's diet? Animals that respond to that protocol should be on a grain-free diet. If that hasn't been explored, that's what I'd do next. If the diet was changed before, ensure that the animal hasn't somehow managed to be exposed to grain sources - eg. bread crusts, cookies, crackers, etc.

How do you feel about trying a new formula? Tou Nong San has been recently speculated by us as an 'herbal Keppra', and would seem to fit the points you're using. If you're in Canada, we can make this for you. Otherwise, you may want to order it from Dr. Mona Boudreaux. It treats Phlegm accumulation associated with Blood stasis.

I'm eager for you to try it out if you're interested. There shouldn't be much in the way of risk of adverse events.

Good luck!

Steve

Just eliminate those. So the ingredients are Zao Jiao, Huang Qi, Chuan Xiong and Dang Gui.
