What is your go to probiotic? We have used VSL with some success? But not always complete resolution of clinical signs. What are your feelings about the probiotic strains that can help with behavior/mood , skin integrity, bowel integrity? VSL is marketing these refrigerated options. But they all have corn starch in them. Just trying to heal my Shao Yang dog (2 1/2 yr GSP -BCS 4.5/9! with amazing muscle tone and mass ) who is on XCH w/ QJ (3/4 tsp bid ) and BZYQT at same dose (rounded large scoop) but is still developing a tendinitis in his patellar ligaments and a medial buttress , bilateral without palpable instability. His feces are larger than our other 3, so he seems to have some trouble with assimilation? His tongue is lavender and dry with cracks and thin white coat. Pulse is broad, full and mid deep. Completely softens with pressure on GB 30. My wife (a DVM , CVSMT, CCRT) is starting to lose faith in my herbs. Should I increase doses? He is fed 50% raw -slightly cooked in water, 10-20% home cooked grass fed beef/organs/green veggies and remainder Purina
DRM whitefish kibble w/ Stella and Chewy baked kibble- is this the problem? Do we need to try him off all kibble? He is 85 lbs. Tendons and ligaments seem to be inflamed chronically in this dog. He was also the case I had asked about earlier -but got on a tangent here. I’ll copy this and post under his case as well. Thank you!!
