Based on Shen Ling Bai Zhu San, this ten-herb formula combines Spleen and Stomach Qi tonification, Dampness management, astringent support, and Qi movement. The traditional presentation may include chronic, intermittent, low-grade loose stool with little urgency or odor and reduced vitality. These features guide pattern assessment but do not establish the cause of diarrhea; recurrent loose stool requires veterinary evaluation, including consideration of diet, parasites, infection, and other gastrointestinal conditions. Available in powder for dogs and cats (75g, 150g, 500g), mixed into food.

The traditional presentation may include chronic, intermittent, low-grade loose stool with little urgency or odor and reduced vitality. These features guide pattern assessment but do not establish the cause of diarrhea; recurrent loose stool requires veterinary evaluation, including consideration of diet, parasites, infection, and other gastrointestinal conditions.
