Question Details
Perianal Melanoma In A Horse
by johnr - November 14, 2020    View Case Report
I don't do any equine work but have a client whose poodle I have successfully treated was asking for herbal advice for her old grey mare with perineal melanoma that extends to most of the vulva. I was thinking Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang, but have no idea on horse dosing. Could someone please advise.

Also there is a minimum six weeks lead time on 500g jars in Australia. So can we use the small animal 100g jars?

I've already started it on 4Life Transfer Factor TriFactor which I use in all my neoplasia cases.

Thanks for any help.

Hi John

Yes, I think a Blood mover is called for here. The last case I saw seemed to need (on my one single exam) Bu Yang Huan Wu Tang (i.e. it was Wei Qi deficient). The horse was lost to follow up, but I think the owner reported the tumors seemed a little smaller. Maybe use both formulas or at least keep it in mind as an additional option.

As for Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang, I would use the modified version containing San Leng (Sparganium) and E Zhu (Turmeric).

100g size bottles of the small animal preparation should work fine for both

Hope that helps!

Steve,
what is the dosing schedule for a horse?
Your website says 2.25-4.5g bid for 480kg. Would you go the low end and use both ModXFZYT and BYHWT?

By the way, I am currently doing CIVT1004 and loving it. Thanks.

Hi there,

That should be fine to start at the low end of the dosing, and use that dose for each formula. If improvements appear but are partial, feel free to increase the doses for a better effect

I'm glad you're enjoying the course! I hope it serves you well!

Steve
