Heat signs with Qi stagnation, TBO, damp and qi deficiency.
Best to start with Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang? Will be seeing dog for weekly AP too. O biggest issue is too many medications and wants to wean her off. My hope is that we can at least reduce/discontinue theophylline if cough improves and hopefully reduce other meds pending response.
thanks! Laurie
