Each herb in Quick River is selected for its specific role within the TCVM framework. Their combined actions open obstructed channels and collaterals, invigorate Blood, dispel Phlegm, and warm Cold to address Wind Cold Damp Bi syndrome with Blood stasis and Phlegm accumulation.
Quick River contains several potent Chinese herbs, including processed Aconite root and Blood-invigorating resins with known cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory activity. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision. Avoid use during pregnancy and in animals with symptoms of Heat or Dryness from Blood or Yin deficiency.
Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, NSAIDs, cardiac medications, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Quick River is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, Quick River (Xiao Huo Luo Dan) is traditionally used to quicken the Blood, dispel Blood stasis, open the collateral vessels, and dispel Phlegm. It is indicated for patterns of Wind Cold Damp invasion with Blood stasis and Phlegm accumulation in the channels, particularly in animals with occasional weakness or numbness in the lower extremities whose discomfort is worse with cold and better with warmth and gentle motion.
Quick River is available in liquid extract (1 oz, 4 oz, or 8 oz) or 500mg tablets (60, 120, or 300 count). Liquid can be mixed into food or administered directly; tablets can be given directly or hidden in food. Dosing varies by species and body weight - your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.
Results vary by individual and the severity of the pattern. Some animals may show improvement in comfort and mobility relatively quickly, while those with more chronic or established Blood stasis and channel obstruction patterns may require several weeks of consistent use. Your authorizing veterinarian can help set appropriate expectations based on your pet's TCVM diagnosis.
Always consult your veterinarian before combining Quick River with other medications or supplements. Your authorizing veterinarian will monitor for potential interactions through routine lab work and diagnostic testing. Key interactions to discuss include anticoagulants, NSAIDs, and cardiac medications. See the Potential Drug Interactions section above for details.
My dog has been taking this for about a month now and seems to be urinating more frequently. Is that a side effect.....should i stop giving them to her?
Thank you for your question! Increased frequency of urination is not an expected side effect of herbal formulas. Please check with your vet to see what they think could be causing it and to see what they recommend. We recommend taking the herbal formula for as long as your vet recommends, and only stopping the herbal with your vet's advice. Thank you for supporting Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine!
