Based on the traditional formula Xiao Qing Long Tang (also known as Minor Bluegreen Dragon Powder), it releases the exterior, transforms congested fluids, warms the lungs, and directs rebellious qi downward. It is well suited for pets presenting with cold-fluid obstruction in the lung, including signs such as cough with watery or clear nasal discharge, wheezing, labored breathing, aversion to cold, and absence of thirst arising from a cold-fluid pattern in the interior combined with wind-cold on the exterior. Available as a concentrated powder mixed into food; cats and dogs use the Canine Blend, while horses use the Equine\/Horse Blend.

Based on the traditional formula Xiao Qing Long Tang (also known as Minor Bluegreen Dragon Powder), it releases the exterior, transforms congested fluids, warms the lungs, and directs rebellious qi downward. It is well suited for pets presenting with cold-fluid obstruction in the lung, including signs such as cough with watery or clear nasal discharge, wheezing, labored breathing, aversion to cold, and absence of thirst arising from a cold-fluid pattern in the interior combined with wind-cold on the exterior. Available as a concentrated 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, and your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.\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\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSubmit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\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\u003eExterior release:\u003c\/strong\u003e Releases wind-cold from the exterior, addressing the surface component of the pattern and opening the lung's dispersing and descending functions to support normal respiratory flow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCongested fluid transformation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transforms and dissolves cold-fluid accumulation (yin) in the lung and chest, addressing the watery phlegm, clear nasal discharge, and fluid obstruction that characterize this pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLung warming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warms the lung and the interior to dispel internal cold, restoring the lung's ability to govern qi and respiration without cold-fluid obstructing its function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRebellious qi direction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Descends rebellious lung qi that rises upward as cough and wheezing, restoring the lung's normal downward-directing action and supporting breathing comfort in affected pets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTCVM Principles\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\u003ePrimary action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Releases exterior wind-cold while warming and transforming internal cold-fluid accumulation (yin zhuo) in the lung, addressing the exterior-interior combined pattern that drives cold-type respiratory presentations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Directs rebellious qi downward and restrains lung qi from excessive dispersion using the astringent herb Wu Wei Zi, balancing the formula's warming and dispersing actions to protect the lung qi while clearing the obstruction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAvailable Forms\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\u003ePowder - Canine Blend (for dogs and cats):\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in 75 g, 150 g, 500 g, 900 g, and 1200 g sizes; mix into food at the recommended dose for your pet's weight.

It is also known as Minor Bluegreen Dragon Powder, and is appropriate for pets whose respiratory presentations have a clear cold pattern with watery fluid accumulation rather than a heat or dryness presentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Xiao Qing Long San administered to dogs, cats, and horses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMix the powder directly into food or grain at the dose recommended for your pet's species and body weight. Both dogs and cats use the Canine Blend; horses use the Equine\/Horse Blend. Dogs and cats receive the formula twice daily; horses receive two tablespoons twice daily for the first 20 days, then once daily for maintenance. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate dose and schedule for your individual pet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Xiao Qing Long San?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAs a formula designed for an exterior-interior combined cold pattern, Xiao Qing Long San is intended to act relatively promptly when the pattern is well matched. Many pets show improvement in cough, nasal discharge, and breathing ease within 1 to 3 weeks of consistent use. If the respiratory signs persist or change character, such as a shift from clear to yellow or green discharge, the underlying pattern may have changed, and your veterinarian may recommend a different formula better suited to the current presentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan Xiao Qing Long San be combined with other TCVM formulas or conventional medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCombination with complementary TCVM formulas is common in holistic veterinary practice and should be guided by your authorizing veterinarian based on your pet's full pattern diagnosis. Because this formula contains Xi Xin (Asarum), which requires appropriate dosing and duration management, particularly in pets with kidney considerations, and Ban Xia, which has specific preparation requirements, veterinary oversight is especially important if your pet is on cardiac medications, diuretics, or has pre-existing kidney or cardiac conditions, to ensure the treatment plan is appropriate for your pet's overall health status.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
