And from what little I’ve read, Double P II has very toxic ingredients. https://www.veterinarypracticenews.c...chinese-herbs/
If I were in your place, I think I would tell the vet that it didn’t agree with my dog and ask for something less toxic. |
Before I take any meds I research it, I do the same for my dog. I read every article I could find on Double P ll after I read the first one and the danger of using it before I put him on it. I chose to follow my vets recovery program. I don't "generally" trust my vet, I completely trust my vet, she is very knowledgeable about these Chinese herbs. My now passed girl Matese had chushings when she was 8 years old, when she was 14 years old she lost most of her hair, my vet put her one of the Chinese herbs, I wish I had kept all of her medical papers to say what she had that she lost most of her hair and the name of the herb that helped her, this Chinese herb she was on made her hair grow back in a matter of months, that made me a believer of these herbs. My vet is very much aware of what goes into these herbs, if she feels it's what needed I give it.
She has reduced the number of times Cody is to take it, I can't lie even tho member yorktowny said I lied to get Cody in for a ER visit, I'm not a liar, I can't say giving it to Cody every other day didn't agree with him unless it's true.

Taylor thank you for your concern, I know it's in Codys best interest. My vet changed the Double P ll to every other day and the Cervical also to every other day, I have to try this method after Cody is back to normal. At the first sign of diarrhea I'll take him off and then I am done with these herbs.Obviously my vets feels his needs these herbs to help him heal and reason is still wants him on them with a lower dose in his system.
Cody is my gift from her, she saved his life, I trust my vets decision. I have to at least try this every other day of giving theses herbs.
