Hi Cathy,
Definitely the dog should be on Minor Bupleurum. There aren't a lot of details posted, but Shao Yang disharmonies can predispose to colitis, urinary incontinence, tumors, and weak pulses.
Minor Bupleurum can enhance the action of Blood movers. I assume that's what you're using, although nothing is mentioned. If you're not, then try Modified Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang
If you just want to use Minor Bupleurum alone, then add E Zhu to it, or use some version with Turmeric already in it.

Hmmmm...... somewhere I posted all her original info, and then made this post for the recheck.
Yes, she's on XCHT and Mod XFZYT, also LJZT. She's had a few diarrhea bouts recently, so I'm not sure if I've created that w/ the herbs or the mass is invading her colon. She is somewhat fecal and urine incontinent, which I'm sure is the mass dT its location. Metronidazole helped her feel much better; back to bright eyes, wanting to chase squirrels. But the mass is slowly enlarging, and her pain a bit worse on that leg as time goes by. I'm amazed that she can bear any weight on this leg, as the mass had caused her pelvis to subluxate off her spine back in in November when I first met Maggie.
I should perhaps ^ her doses or frequency; she is a 16 lb dog an getting 1 tab XCHT + 1/2 tsp. Mod. XFZYT BID. I just asked them to ^ to TID on the XCHT; do you routinely using herbs in cancer cases TID until they are looking stable?
Thnx,
Cathy

Hi Cathy,
Sounds like we need a more cooling action on the colon with the herbs, given the benefits of metronidazole. You can try switching XCHT for Da Chai Hu Tang, or even using Chai Hu Jia Long Gu Mu Li Tang, if you could call the pulse slippery and/or superficial at all.
If that is the case, Yang and Blood are trapped in the exterior. In that case, we should not use Blood movers (which drive Blood peripherally). Instead, we should use something like Hoxsey. Response to acupuncture points can help a lot in deciding whether this is a good idea.
But if the pulse is definitely deep, then increasing the dose is perhaps the best approach. I always tend to dose more aggressively in a dog that is not adequately controlled. In a 16 lb dog using Kan tablets, you're looking at as many as 5 x 550mg tablets to achieve the same dose as if you were using granules. So you have a lot of room to go up, I think
