Hindquarter Weakness is a nine-herb formula organized around a Kidney Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening pair (Ba Ji Tian, Du Zhong), a Qi-tonifying and Blood-nourishing layer (Huang Qi, Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Feng Hua Fen), and a Qi-moving, channel-warming, and downward-guiding layer (Gui Zhi, Wu Yao, Chuan Niu Xi):
Hindquarter Weakness contains Kidney Yang-tonifying herbs including Ba Ji Tian (morinda root) and Du Zhong (eucommia bark), Qi-tonifying herbs including Huang Qi (astragalus root) and Feng Hua Fen (bee pollen), Blood-nourishing herbs including Shu Di Huang (prepared rehmannia root) and Dang Gui (dong quai root), and channel-warming and Qi-moving herbs including Gui Zhi (cinnamon twig), Wu Yao (lindera root), and Chuan Niu Xi (cyathula root). Dang Gui and Chuan Niu Xi may affect platelet function and coagulation; Gui Zhi may interact with anticoagulant medications; Huang Qi may interact with immunosuppressive medications. No contraindications and no warnings are listed for this formula. Pets and horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and horses remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, immunosuppressive medications, and animals managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Hindquarter Weakness is indicated for dogs and horses with TCVM patterns of Kidney deficiency with Qi deficiency and hindquarter weakness, where insufficient Kidney Yang and Qi have impaired the Kidney's ability to nourish and support the sinews, bones, and channels governing the back, hind limbs, and hindquarter. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it as a foundational TCVM musculoskeletal support formula for Kidney deficiency and hindquarter weakness patterns. No contraindications and no warnings are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hindquarter Weakness.
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For horses using the 600g powder, the guideline is 10g to 20g (approximately 1.5 to 3 large scoops) twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds approximately 7g. For dogs using the 600g powder, the guideline is 0.5g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 2g. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Bu Qi Zi Yin Tang (Tonify Qi and Nourish Yin Decoction) is the classical formula underlying Jing Tang's Hindquarter Weakness, designed to address the combined Kidney deficiency and Qi deficiency pattern underlying hindquarter weakness and hind limb deficiency in animals. Its TCVM rationale is built around simultaneously tonifying Kidney Yang to strengthen the Kidney's ability to nourish the sinews, bones, and hindquarter channels (Ba Ji Tian, Du Zhong), supplementing Qi and nourishing Blood and Essence to provide the energetic and nutritive foundation for the Kidney Yang tonification strategy (Huang Qi, Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Feng Hua Fen), and moving Qi and warming the channels to ensure that the tonification strategy does not create stagnation and that the formula's actions are guided specifically to the lower body and hindquarter channels (Gui Zhi, Wu Yao, Chuan Niu Xi). This three-layer structure, tonifying both Kidney Yang and Qi, nourishing Blood and Essence, and moving Qi to prevent stagnation, reflects the classical TCVM understanding that chronic hindquarter weakness in animals involves deficiency at multiple levels and that tonification without movement leads to incomplete pattern resolution.
Feng Hua Fen (bee pollen, Apis mellifera) is included in Hindquarter Weakness as a Qi-supplementing and nutritive substance that provides broad nutritive support alongside the formula's herbal tonics. In classical Chinese medicine, natural nutritive substances such as bee products, animal tissues, and mineral substances are frequently combined with herbal tonics in formulas addressing chronic deficiency patterns, reflecting the understanding that deep Kidney deficiency and Qi deficiency patterns benefit from both targeted herbal actions and broad nutritive nourishment. Feng Hua Fen's role in this formula is to supplement Qi and provide the nutritive substrate needed to support the recovery from chronic Kidney deficiency and hindquarter weakness. Note that this formula contains bee pollen, an animal-derived ingredient; if your animal has known sensitivities to bee products, please inform your authorizing veterinarian before use.
