Update On Referred Nerve Pain Patient

by lsargent - November 12, 2009

Xian Fang Huo Ming Yin was the formula that I put her on and now her toe nails on the affected foot are separating from the nail bed. While this may be related to the original injury, could it possibly be related to the herbal combination? Primarily this involves P4 & 5 on the right forefoot and P4 on the right rear foot. She appears to be pain free and happy, but this is disturbing to both myself and the owner.

Thanks in advance,
Lois lsargent

Hi Lois,

I`ve never seen XFHMY cause nail damage, or nails to slough, despite us using it specifically for digital pathology. So my guess would be the nail sloughing is part of the original pathology.

I can`t recall the rest of the case, but are there any signs of improvement in the animal. If you can`t see any, then you may not need to continue use of XFHMY, if you`re worried about it. If on the other hand, the dog has shown improvement in other areas, then I would assume the nail sloughing is part of the healing process. I will say, though, that for dogs losing their nails, and where any digital inflammation is fairly mild, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang is a good pick. Did we discuss that as an option originally?
