Splenectomy Jan 09 dx hemangiosarcoma
Had been very healthy dog and splenic tumor found on annual exam by RV. Owner had reported episodic severe abdominal pain for 6-8 months preceding but dx work-ups were normal. Initially started on Yunnan Paiyao and Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang.
At 2 wk recheck:
Blood parameters back to normal but Jasper had recurrence of acute abdominal pain.
Pulse: deep and difficult to palpate;
Tongue: variable but predominately lavendar-purplish with thin white coat
Active Pts: BL18; BL16; LI10; LV8
Excellent pulse response to APtx
Changed herb to Dang Gui Shao Yao San and kept on Yunnan Paiyao
1 month later:
No further episodes of acute abdomen; Blood parameters remain normal. No significant change in Tongue/Pulse/Active pts. Reccd continuation of current therapy.
Question?
Owner has been doing a lot of research and wants to add the following supplements but I don't know if they would be beneficial or what dose to suggest? Any other suggestions?
-Vitamin C
-Tumeric
-Glutasyn
-CoQ10
Thanks- glad to see this forum up and running! Debbie
