My Dog On Tiger Milk 21 Days

My 16/17yr old Yorkie developed a terrible cough around late Feb or early March. Took her to the vet & they did some scans & she had a bad infection, plus she was diagnosed with Kidney failure. She did 14 days of an antibiotic, plus rx kidney food. The cough didn’t sound as bad after the antibiotics, but she still coughs a lot.
Fast forward to June 23. I decided I would start giving her TMM bc of the respiratory & immune enhancing effects. I was only nervous about it making her stomach upset, but I had given her Turkey Tail a couple years earlier & she had no problems with the Beta Glucan/prebiotics causing any GI distress. I started giving her a small amount & now give her about 1/5 of a pill at 7pm.
In the past 5 days or so, I have noticed her constant coughing has lessened, a lot. She lives with my parents, but I go over to their house every night to eat dinner & to see her & I give her the TMM in a stew that is for “Senior 15yrs+ Digestion & Kidney Support.” I just texted my Dad if he has been noticing her cough less during the day, & he said she is coughing less.
Hopefully her health keeps improving bc it didn’t look so good in March to May, but she has improved so much…

That's awesome! Both of my dogs get turkey tail every day. Next time either of mine have allergies or breathing issues, I am going to try tiger milk. As for kidneys, Astragaloside IV is what I would suggest looking into.
