Question
I have a dog (breed is a Chow Chow) who weighs 25 lbs.  She has a cyst inside her breast that causes her pain.  Do you suggest any herbs I can give her to shrink or stop the cyst from growing?  If so, how often should I give it to her?

Answer
Canine cyst in chest;
Turmeric to reduce inflammation;
Hi Cathy, The vet can give you something for pain.  I have some herbs that will reduce inflammation and thus helps reduce pain, too.
Here are a few options:
Turmeric powder ( the kind for cooking ) - put 2 pinches into the food 2 x per day - mix well.
Turmeric is great to Reduce swelling and pain.

Next - We have had great luck with NuVET supplement.
