Also known as Restore the Spleen Powder, Ginseng and Longan Combination, Gather Vitality, and Return the Spleen Formula, this ten-herb combination addresses the TCVM Heart-Spleen dual vacuity pattern through coordinated Spleen Qi tonification, Blood nourishment, and spirit settling. Your veterinarian may consider this pattern when reduced stamina, poor appetite or digestion, and loose stools occur alongside restlessness or disturbed rest, with a pale tongue and a thin, weak pulse contributing to the assessment. Available as a powder mixed into food; cats and dogs use the Canine Blend, while horses use the Equine\/Horse Blend. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. Night panting and an irregular heartbeat require clinical assessment rather than being assumed to arise from a TCVM pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVETERINARY AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/get-an-authorization\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSubmit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRequest a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat It Supports\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpleen Qi and vitality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ren Shen and Huang Qi form the principal Qi-tonifying pair, supported by Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, and Zhi Gan Cao.

Also known as Restore the Spleen Powder, Ginseng and Longan Combination, Gather Vitality, and Return the Spleen Formula, this ten-herb combination addresses the TCVM Heart-Spleen dual vacuity pattern through coordinated Spleen Qi tonification, Blood nourishment, and spirit settling. Your veterinarian may consider this pattern when reduced stamina, poor appetite or digestion, and loose stools occur alongside restlessness or disturbed rest, with a pale tongue and a thin, weak pulse contributing to the assessment. Available as a powder mixed into food; cats and dogs use the Canine Blend, while horses use the Equine\/Horse Blend. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. Night panting and an irregular heartbeat require clinical assessment rather than being assumed to arise from a TCVM pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVETERINARY AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/get-an-authorization\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSubmit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRequest a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat It Supports\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpleen Qi and vitality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ren Shen and Huang Qi form the principal Qi-tonifying pair, supported by Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, and Zhi Gan Cao.
