Zed is a 10 year old MI Frenchie w/ the following history:
- Chronic recurrent interdigital cysts, otitis, Staph pyoderma. Resolved 90% on raw diet. No obvious seasonality, so I wonder about food.
- hip dysplasia per owner
- coprophagia, gassy, urpy
- corneal ulcer April 2015 (no further history)
- food sensitive; ^ urpiness, runny stools
- June 2015 prostatitis; resolved on Ab
- is used for breeding :( by AI
I met Zed 2-15-17. He is sweet, friendly. He has pink interdigital skin, mild seborrhea, mild alopecia dorsal ear surface. He was very snorty while chewing, sl. overweight. Tongue: pink, the white coat
Pulse: deeper and somewhat thready, normal rate.
I tried Chu shi wei ling tang, which made him nauseous and having loose/dark stools (resolved off herb).
I see his spleen qi weakness and probably damp heat (better raw diet). As CSWLT pushes the pulse out, I was thinking of SMS, but it doesn't fit his pulse. He's had many AI collections over the years so imagine his kidney jing is weakened also? Herbal thoughts?
Thnx,
Cathy
