SOLUTION AL: Calm Lick Herbal Supplement

$80.00

WHY CHOOSE IT

Acral Lick Dermatitis (granuloma): This chronic/recurrent condition occurs in dogs and cats as a result of the obsessive urge to lick the lower leg. The urge to lick or chew on the affected limb may be a psychological trigger (a self-soothing response to anxiety) or it be triggered by something organic - pain of underlying joints, post-surgical site, small wound, bug bite, minor infection, or anything that stimulates itch sensation. The pet cannot resist the impulse to lick. Constant licking of the area causes erosion of the skin and this, in turn, generates fierce itching. Continued licking produces ulceration and exposure of deeper tissue that can become infected. The pruritus is unbearable, and the itch-lick cycle becomes nearly impossible to penetrate.

Stopping the itch-lick cycle is imperative. According to Chinese Medicine, to accomplish this, we must Stop itch and Calm the Shen. The herbs in this formula also energetically Move Qi & Blood to Stop Pain in the limbs in these cases.

  • To support healthy skin in your dog, cat, or rabbit, add the herbal supplement to their food or give by mouth via oral syringe.

    For most cases, adding the granules directly to your pet's meal (twice per day) is easiest. Herbs can taste bitter to your pet, so you may need to mix with extra tasty food or broth. Introduce the supplement slowly by starting with a smaller amount at first and gradually increasing it as they get used to the new flavor in their food.

    For pickier eaters, give herbs via oral syringe. First dissolve the herbal supplement in hot water. We recommend approximately 2ml of water per gram of herbal supplement (our oral syringes have measurement marks on them to make this easy). In a small bowl or shot glass, add herbal supplement to hot water and stir. Allow a few minutes for herbal supplement to fully dissolve before drawing the liquid mixture up into the syringe. Place syringe in the pocket between your pet’s teeth and cheek, angled toward the back of their mouth and gently depress the plunger at a slow, even rate.

    Suggested dose based on pet’s body weight:

    Under 10 lbs: 0.5g 2x/day

    10 - 25 lbs: 1g 2x/day

    25 - 50 lbs: 1 - 2g 2x/day

    50 - 75 lbs: 2 - 3g 2x/day

    75 - 100 lbs: 3g 2x/day

    over 100 lbs: 4g 2x/day

    or as recommended by your veterinarian. Older and weaker pets should be given smaller doses. Safe use in pregnant or breeding animals has not been proven. Examination by veterinarian is recommended prior to use of this product.
