Whoa. This case is the first thing I looked at today, even before my morning coffee. Hell of a way to wake up. I almost had to go back to bed!
Anyway, after the fifth time reading it, I developed some ideas. Of course, the goal is always to try to find a thread that runs through everything, and that thread seems to be a 'pathogen in the Shao Yang'.
First off, it's the most likely cause of anything where there is the risk of sudden death. The Shao Yang is the deepest of the three Yang layers, so far as defense against external pathogens is concerned. There are plenty of diseases that through experience I've associated with that level of penetration, including of course problems like Anaplasmosis (can't get much deeper than the bloodstream); masticatory myositis; and GDV tendencies.
At the same time, we have 'stasis in the middle burner' as evidenced by the neoplasia. This is also typical of a Shao Yang pathogen.
We'd like a formula that can prevent an Addisonian crisis. You'll remember from the lecture that we rely on Xiao Chai Hu Tang for that, since it optimizes cortisol secretion and has mineralocorticoid effects. Yet we have a dog who despite having no aldosterone is somehow managing to be hypertensive. So we need to guard against that, which XCHT doesn't. Where is the hypertension coming from? I can only imagine it is insulin resistance from the high cortisol levels. So we might like herbs that promote insulin sensitivity. These are often bitter cold draining herbs.
From a TCM perspective, it's the extreme heat (evidenced in the tongue) that is causing the hypertension. So, again, something downbearing.
Putting that altogether, the first formula I'd go with is a modification of Xiao Chai Hu Tang, known as Chai Hu Jia Long Gu Mu Li Tang. It has all the benefits of the former, but with an overall cooling and Yang descending influence on top of it that will protect against hypertension. The core formula, XCHT, is a good anti-neoplastic formula.
So that's my best guess, given what you've presented. The only thing that I can't specifically and definitively tie in is the mammary tumor, but some of these are due to GB channel (Shao Yang) obstructions, as are musculoskeletal problems like hip dysplasia.
If you try the formula out, please come back to the forum (as you have in the past) and let us know how it went. This is a really interesting case.
Good luck!
P.S. The version of CHJLGMLT that you should use here is definitely Natural Path, because all other versions omit Ginseng, and you need it here for this dog.
