For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g concentrated capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Hindquarter Weakness uses Du Zhong and Ba Ji Tian as the primary Yang-tonifying herbs, then includes Shu Di Huang and Dang Gui as the Yin and Blood-nourishing foundation. This balanced approach prevents the Yang-tonifying herbs from generating dryness or secondary Heat, ensures the sinews and tissues of the back and hind limbs receive adequate nourishment, and supports long-term Kidney tonification over the recommended 1 to 6 month course.

Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, standard powder, standard capsules, and teapills. No contraindications or warnings are listed for this formula. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

For the concentrated powder (90g or 180g), the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 0.3g and the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Hindquarter Weakness uses Du Zhong and Ba Ji Tian as the primary Yang-tonifying herbs, then includes Shu Di Huang and Dang Gui as the Yin and Blood-nourishing foundation. This balanced approach prevents the Yang-tonifying herbs from generating dryness or secondary Heat, ensures the sinews and tissues of the back and hind limbs receive adequate nourishment, and supports long-term Kidney tonification over the recommended 1 to 6 month course. This Yin-within-Yang formulation strategy is a hallmark of classical Kidney-tonifying formulas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan Hindquarter Weakness be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHindquarter Weakness is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Kidney tonification and musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly anticoagulant or hormone-modulating medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Hindquarter Weakness is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan.
