SOLUTION PD: Damp Heat Paws Herbal Supplement
WHY CHOOSE IT
Swollen, red paws: Pododermatitis is not a disease. It is a term that simply means inflammation of the skin of the paws. This can look like simple redness of the skin between the toes or there may also be swelling, papules, pustules, ulcers, or bald spots. Your pet may show signs of pain (lameness) or they may indicate it itches (licking or chewing their paws). Many different underlying conditions can cause pododermatitis and it is important that you work with your pet’s veterinarian to discover the underlying cause so you can choose the most effective treatment options.
From the viewpoint of Chinese Medicine Dermatology, pets that have chronic inflammation of the paws may have a combination of several underlying energetic imbalances. Our herbal supplement SOLUTION PD: Damp Heat Paws is a combination of herbs that are understood to Clear Heat, Drain & Transform Damp, Resolve Toxins, and Stop Itch. **

To support healthier 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.
Suggested dose based on pet’s body weight:

It is especially important that you consult with your pet’s veterinarian to determine what is triggering the problems in your pet’s paws because underlying causes such as infection or parasites must be properly treated.

This will be the most effective way to support the overall health of your pet’s skin.
