The two Chinese Herbal Stasis Breaker 'tumor buster' and Wei Qi Booster immune booster powders look like and taste like dirt.
It was a challenge to figure out how to get Lucy to eat them initially. Due to her sensitive stomach issues, I had been experimenting with pan fried with a little garlic and white chicken meat or ground turkey or ground beef) mixed with some kibble). I make a chicken or turkey or beef + broth slurry as a base to mix the herbs into.
It takes a lot of work, but if you would do anything to keep your pet well, the following has been working well for us after much trial and error. It does take some time twice a week to make a batch up for use every meal and last for a few days.
The main thing is to find anything to get your pooch to gobble up the herbs up as an appetizer when she is the most hungry before the regular meal. However, Lucy will now eat the herbs mixed into her plain dry food with a little broth and a handful of meat.
IF YOU NEED TO BUT IT WILL HAVE CARBS: I also found this an easy way to get Lucy to eat the herbs. I mix the herbs into about a 1/4 cup of yogurt and she really goes for it before her regular meal.
OR ...: I’ve found that mixing the herbs very well with about 1/3 cup of hamburger and then hand feeding chunks also works well if necessary.
When concerned about him not eating well/enough – I will chop up some hardboiled eggs into her food – she really likes it.
I now give an egg at every meal with a little meat and kibble. Got to have high protein, medium fat, low carb food to an anti cancer diet and it HAS to be tasty to get them to keep eating all these pills and powders.
This is a lot of work for sure, but it has been working for us, and I have gotten a tremendous sense of satisfaction knowing all my efforts have helped keep Lucy doing well.
