I have a Wobblers case - 6yo FS Dobie, worse in the front > hindend. She can run like the wind still but then gets very lame after too long, bunny hops in the hind legs, hypermetric gait, hindlegs appear disconnected. Pulses are toned, tongue is lavender-pink, on the dry side, decent size. She is a rescue and has dog aggression, gets very agitated. When she comes to me for acupuncture she is so sweet but can't sit still, wandering around the room as I stick needles in!
I put her on Xiao Chai Hu Tang and Bu Gan Tang initially but no change. Then I switched to XCHT with Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang. Stayed about the same. The owner belongs to a Facebook page and asked me to order the Cervical Formula from the Qi institute. It seems to help her in the sense that she has better stamina and her hindend seems stronger. The owner wants to find another option with Natural Path because, she, like me, prefers to buy from a local company. The Cervical formula contains Bai Shao Yao, Chuan Xiong, Dang Gui Wei, Gan Cao, Ge Gen, Gui Zhi, Ji Sue Tent, Mu Gua, Qiang Huo. Some similarities to my formula choices, but I don't know what "Ji Sue Tent" is? Could I take my base formulas and just add Ge Gen, Gui Zhi, the illusive Ji Sue Tent, Mu Gua, and Qiang Huo? If so, does Natural Path carry these herbs?
Thank you in advance!!!!
