I have a bunch of patients maintained well on Xiao chai hu tang. It is on backorder at Natural Path and I just mailed out the last bottle I had in stock.
In my hands the natural path products work so much better than the Kan tablets, I use if whenever the patient will accept the powder mixed into food as opposed to tablets.
I would like to be able to mix up my own during backorders. Looking at the ChenChen veterinary text it contains:
24 g of Chai Hu, the same as their human text recipe.
I have in my (handwritten) notes that veterinary Xiao Chai Hu Tang contains reduced bupleurum because the higher level of bupleurum is toxic for dogs. (that is why during backorders I have not ordered this from a manufacturer of human herbs)
Could you please clarify for me?
Thanks! Tracy
