I'm working with a lovely 3 yr old Female intact Duck Toller who started biting at her back end at 3 months then developed neck pain at 6 months. The neurologist thought she had steroid responsive meningitis at first (one of her littermates was diagnosed) but her CSF tap was negative. At 1 yr of age, the neurologist diagnosed her w/ disko and she's been on antibiotics since. In May she rapidly declined & euthanasia was recommended. The owner stopped the antibiotics and was giving metacam, percoset & gabapentin. The owner started a CBD supplement & we started TCVM in June. Since then, Hanna has been feeling great, moving well and off all medications except CBD & Qing Yang Tang. Her CT was repeated last week and although she appears much improved clinically, her diskospondylitis appears to have 'progressed mildly' according to the radiologist.
She is definitely a fire element, tongue brick red, wiry pulses, dry nose & pads, fine yellow dandruff. I've been treating her for Blood Heat over the last few months and although her tongue color is becoming pinker she continues to have dandruff & wiry pulses.
She's 37 lbs and currently taking 1 tsp. Qing Yang Tang every 12 hours. Should I increase the dose or would it be better to add something else?
As always, your advice is MUCH appreciated!
