Interpretation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the appearance, consistency, and odor of a furry friend's stool, urine or movement can provide insights into their overall health and balance of Qi (vital energy), as well as the state of their internal organs. Here's how TCM interpret certain characteristics of furry friend's poop:

Characteristics: Stiffness, limping, or difficulty moving, especially after rest or in cold weather.

Potential Causes: Joint inflammation, aging, or wear and tear on cartilage.

TCM Interpretation:

• Cold-Damp Obstruction: Hinders joint movement and causes stiffness.
• Liver and Kidney Deficiency: Weakens bones and tendons, leading to joint pain.
• Blood Stasis: Poor circulation worsens inflammation and pain.
