Devil’s claw for dog with neoplasm

Hello, my 13 year old dog with pericardial neoplasm for a year has been diagnosed with a cervical hernia which causes pain and inhibits movement. Could the devil’s claw be considered as a therapy, considering that he has been taking a diuretic against ascites for 4 months now? Iris

Hi, given the previous pericardial neoplasm, as a precaution, I do not feel like recommending the devil’s claw or any herbal or medicinal preparation based on harpagophyte. In this I would use turmeric longa, useful not only for its anti-inflammatory properties (excellent for relieving joint pain even in cases of arthritis), but also antitumor, antioxidant and many other properties. For dogs, if you do not want to use tablets or anything else (otherwise excellent Padx of the avd) you can make a paste that can then be put directly into the bowl. Ingredients: 1/2 cup turmeric powder, possibly organic 1 to 2 cups filtered water 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, possibly organic 1/3 cup of oil (coconut oil or cold pressed extra virgin olive oil) Preparation: Mix the turmeric with the water in a saucepan, over low heat for 7-10 minutes. If your pasta looks watery, simply add more turmeric, 1 teaspoon at a time, heating on the stove for another 2 minutes. Once you have the pasta of the right consistency, add the pepper and oil and mix very well. Let it all cool, place the pasta in a jar with an airtight lid and keep it in the refrigerator for 2/3 weeks. Dose: 1/4 or 1/2 tablespoon considering the size of your dog. Up to 1 tablespoon for large dogs. You can mix it with a little yogurt or kefir or water or directly into the bowl. Mix the turmeric with the water in a small saucepan, over low heat for 7-10 minutes.
