I found a cookie recipe for feeding these Stasis Breaker and Wei Qi Booster Chinese cancer herbs to them, and they like the cookies. I crumble the cookies in with the meal, with that much less dry dog food. But she seems to also like them by themselves. Here’s that recipe for anyone who so desires it if you cannot get them to eat the herbs in their regular food. Keep in mind that many vets recommend a high fat content when treating cancer, since cancer cells grow best with carbohydrates as fuel, but they don’t grow well at all with fatty foods. The peanut butter in the recipe is a high fat food -medium protein and low-med carb(don't know what to do about that carb and still have tastiness). Here’s the recipe:
Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies. Makes 16 cookies
Let 3 eggs warm to room temperature (for easy whipping)
Separate the whites from yolks, the whites will be whipped. The yolks I save to give as a cooked treat.
In one bowl:
Whip egg whites
Add the meds in question into the whipped egg whites (In this recipe I add 2 days worth of the herbs. probably could add 3 days worth)
In another bowl:
add 1/4 cup of molasses
add 1/4 cup of hot water
add 1 cup peanut butter
whip all that
add the peanut butter stuff to the egg white stuff, and whip more
spoon a teaspoon full of the mix onto a cookie sheet as one cookie. I put 8 onto a cookie sheet at at time, making two batches.
bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
do the next batch.
They actually taste quite good. Just a faint taste of the herbs, which taste awful to me anyway. Mostly they taste like peanut butter. The meringue adds some substance to them and bring up the protein -so they bake well. It's still has reasonable protein and fat overall, so the sugar/carb isn't horrible.
But again, this is just stuff to try if they simply won't eat the powder in their regular food.
