SOLUTION FO: Toxic Heat Herbal Supplement
WHY CHOOSE IT
Folliculitis (pustules/pus-filled bumps): Have you heard the term “pyoderma” from your vet? Pyoderma literally means pus in the skin. They are infections and one of the most common skin issues in dogs (not as common in cats). They can be “superficial” if they only involve superficial infection of the hair follicle (folliculitis). Or they can be classified as “deep pyoderma” (a.k.a. “deep folliculitis”) when the infection breaks through the hair follicle and causes a deeper infection. They are usually a bacterial (staph) infection. Superficial and deep folliculitis almost always have an underlying cause (allergies or endocrine disorders are common) that absolutely needs to be investigated by your pet’s veterinarian.
Folliculitis is a deeper issue than the superficial moist dermatitis of hot spots (choose SOLUTION HS for hot spots). There can be many types of lesions present, including redness, papules, bald spots, pustules, erosions, and crusts. They itch and might even be painful. According to Chinese Medicine, we understand this condition to have Toxic Heat. Our supplement SOLUTION FO: Toxic Heat is a cocktail of herbs that Clear Heat, Drain Damp, Resolve Toxins and Stop Itch. It works on a deeper level than SOLUTION HS: Damp Heat. **

To support healthy skin in your dog, cat, or rabbit, add the herbal supplement to their food or give by mouth via oral syringe.
To add directly to their meal, mix the herbal supplement into moist canned food. Or, add the herbal supplement to your favorite powder nutritional supplement, mix with water to form gravy, and pour over kibble. Herbs can taste bitter to your pet, so you may need to 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.
To give via oral syringe, dissolve 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 between your pet’s tongue and cheek, angled toward the back of their mouth and gently depress the plunger at a slow, even rate.
