I posted his case on the herbal course website prior to the cruciates. they are low grade partials now. surgeon thought we could monitor until he saw his xrays and is now recommending early intervention bilateral TPLO's because of his conformation. He's come a long way with his emotional rehab (relaxation protocol, herbs, supplements and 2 trainers), but any painful surgery requiring lengthy crating, lack of activity, will set him back tremendously in his behavior.
He's currently on Tendon/ligament formula as it seemed to fit with liver blood deficiency/liv Qi stagnation from long standing SP Qi def. His tongue never gets any warmer than bubble gum pink. He is very susceptible to heat (deficient heat) and tires easily. He's generally lazy and would sleep late every day if he could. Pulses are weak, thin most of the time. He now eats ~50% primal raw beef. Recently dx with food allergies (nutri scan) so now avoiding wheat, egg, sweet potato, turkey, quinoa, lentil and oats.
What are your thoughts on prolotherapy? Are there other supplements (western, eastern) I can add to help strengthen his weak ligmaments (had baytril as puppy)?
He's on standard process derm support, salmon oil, coconut oil, tendon/ligament, Go!- salmon based limited ingredient diet + primal raw and freeze dried beef, + around the clock counter conditioning for noise phobias, stranger danger, etc.
thank you!
