Jing Tang Stasis Breaker Concentrated 0.5g Capsules #100

What are possible side effects from the stasis breaker in dogs.

Thank you for your question! TCVM Herbals can sometimes cause mild gastrointestinal distress when they are first started, but this is the only known side effect. Please contact your vet with any questions about your pet's specific condition. They will be able to help determine the cause of your pet's symptoms as they arise. Thank you for supporting Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine!

I'm reading your q&a and it says that the stasis breaker should be given with food. Can the capsules be opened and sprinkled on top of the food or must they swallow the whole pill?

Thank you for your question! The capsules can either be swallowed or sprinkled on top of food. We recommend administering the herbs at mealtime or close to mealtime. If you want to sprinkle them on top of food, we also offer a powdered version of Stasis Breaker: https://tcvmpet.com/products/jing-tang-stasis-breaker-concentrated-90g-powder?variant=31782654804038

Vet gave 0.5 of concentrated status breaker and wei qi booster to my dog with thyroid and skin tumor...he is 17 plus 4 months old and weighs Around 8.4 pounds Maltese ....we were to give him 1/4 teaspoon of each every 12 hours however we gave it for breakfast and dinner...9am and 5pm...he was having medium stool to loose stool with little droplets of blood..we took him off everything and droplets of blood has gone away....perhaps too much given...

Thank you for your question! TCVM Herbals can sometimes cause mild gastrointestinal distress when they are first started, but this is the only known side effect. We recommend giving the herbs with food twice a day to lessen the chance of distress. Since you are already giving the herbs a few times a day, we recommend contacting your vet to see what they recommend. Your vet will be able to recommend further care.

My vet prescribed this to my black lab just a few days ago and is having some trouble. The vet prescribed him a tendon ligament formula as well. I'm curious as to what side effects they might have until say become used to the formula. I plan on calling but I would love other insight.

My dog has hemangiosarcoma and is currently taking Yunnan Baiyo and I'm Yunity mushrooms in addition to chemotherapy. A veterinary chiropractor recommended Stasis Breaker to me but I want to make sure there will not be negative interactions with the supplements he is already on. Is it safe to give?

Thank you for your question! There are no known interactions between Jing Tang herbs and other supplements. As long as you take them at your veterinarian's direction, they are safe to give. Thank you for supporting Chinese Medicine, and I hope the herbs, mushrooms, and chemo help your dog feel better.

How big are these capsules

Thank you for your question! Each 0.5g capsule is 3/4" long and 1/4" wide.

Would 8 capsules at a time be too much for an 84 pound dog? I have the 50 concentrated capsules from my vet , was prescribed 4 capsules twice daily, was given two bottles and we gave our dog 4 capsules from each bottle not realizing the bottles were the same at the time.

Thank you for your question. This is unlikely to cause any side effects in your dog other than mild gastrointestinal distress. However, please contact your vet with any questions, as your vet knows your pet best and is able to give specific medical advice regarding your pet.

I am in Canada. My vet managed to get Jing Tang concentrated stasis breaker for me. No strength of capsules listed on label. Under directions for use it only says For cats:1 cap once a day. I am trying to determine correct dosage for my 80 pound golden retriever with lymphoma. There are 50 capsules in this bottle. Went to the trouble to get this, now I am worried the one capsule per day is a waste of time. Thank you for your help

Thank you for your question! We can help you. 

If you have concentrated Jing Tang capsules in a quantity of 50, they are 0.2g concentrated capsules. 

Normally these are given to cats, but you can give them to your dog, you will just go through them faster. 

We typically recommend the 0.5g concentrated capsules #100 for large dogs or 90g concentrated powder. 

Here are dosing instructions.

Concentrated 0.2g Capsules #50: One 0.2g capsule for small dog/cat once a day <10lbs.
Concentrated 0.5g Capsules #100: One 0.5g capsule per 20 to 40 lb of body weight twice daily.
Concentrated 90g Powder: 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20lbs twice daily.

Your vet can help you determine what dose in those ranges is appropriate for your pet.
