I have a chronic IBD dog.. normally I have pretty good luck with fixing these dogs but this one seems to be eluding me.
Snowbee is a 3.5 year old, FS, Wire Fox Terrier
-At 8 months of age began to show symptoms of intermittent vomiting, diarrhea, licking paws and increased anxiety. After multiple months of various diagnostics, endoscopy revealed chronic eosinophilic and lymphocytic enteritis. Was put on Prednisone and HA diet. Symptoms temporarily improved on this but vomiting and diarrhea eventually returned. Appetite very low and weight loss. Improved with prednisone.
-Every year her symptoms are aggravated in April (Shao yang?)
-I saw her the first time in June 2022. She responded well to a combination of rabbit-based kibble, mixed with cooked pork+veggies, Wei ling tang and Xiao Yao San.
Appetite is now normal. No longer on Prednisone. Anxiety improved. Vomiting/ diarrhea episodes much less frequent.
However, as of January 2023, the vomiting and diarrhea episodes came back. The diarrhea now has blood. It seems that even the slightest food change will trigger her. She is now on a very bland diet of Cod and rice, but even a small change in the diet will cause a digestive upset. She is back on Wei Ling Tang only and this seems to help slightly at keeping her stable.
In January, she woke up every night between 3-5am to defecate. This stopped when they stopped giving her kibble.
Recently stool has a bad odor. She is eating soil. So it seems there are some heat signs that are starting to show up.
I was looking at the Gold Standard herbs, and wondering if the Adoptrex might help her?
