We have a 12 year old Chihuahua who has had heart failure and was already a high risk patient. 2.5 weeks ago, we took her in to the vet and they said she had an open Pyometra and said that dogs usually have surgery to remove the uterus. Since she was already a high risk patient due to her heart issues, if they put her under, they warned us she might not come back up. It felt like they were saying we either need to put her to sleep because she could die from the Pyometra or we need to risk her dying during surgery. The main vet she sees said that if we chose to do surgery, he didn't want to be the one to perform it because he didn't feel right about doing it given her heart condition and how risky it would be.
On top of that, we really couldn’t afford surgery (minimum $2k) but we didn't want to give up on her. I started looking around for natural remedies and not long after, I found this video on YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtluEiGeezo.
I did some additional research on the Manuka Honey, Turmeric and Vitamin C and saw that it was posted in a few places including Earth Clinic. There was barely anything on Yun Nan other than the study Dr. Jones shared on his video. That being said, for the last 2 weeks, we’ve given her Clavamox, Orbax AND we’ve given her the honey, turmeric, vitamin C and Yun Nan powder.
Within the first 3-4 days, her energy shot up and she was back to being hyper. After about 7-8 days the discharge stopped. We’re continuing to give the YunNan at least for another week. She’s doing tons better. Thank you to everyone who posted. It gave us hope seeing the success stories. We’re still monitoring over the next few weeks to see if she maintains her health but THANK GOD, we were able to get her healthy without needing surgery (thus far). The doctors also recommended potentially giving her hormone injections that would help expel the discharge but I don’t think we’ll be needing that now.
P.S. If anyone uses this, initially it was hard getting her to take the mixture of ingredients because she hates oral syringes which is how we had to give her the prescription Clavamox and Orbax. Plus the manuka, Turmeric, Vitamin C and Yun Nan mixture was so this we had to water it down and administer the syringe in 3-4 doses. We had better success mixing the ingredients into her food. We started giving her fresh food about 5 months ago which she loves and helped regulate her weight. It was a bit easier than it might have been if we were giving her kibble. We mixed those ingredients in with the food 3 times a day for the two weeks.
I hope this helps someone as this video helped us.
Thank you!!!

Because we had to wait for the remedies to be shipped from Amazon and or purchased from other stores, I tried the best available option I had. I used Emergen-C. I mixed it up and gave about 225 mg of the 1000 mg in a packet each day. I think she has done better with Vitamin C. The first day we took her to the vet her tongue was gray. The last few days her tongue has turned more pink.
Today is the first day she's tried the concoction mentioned on the posted video. She can barely stand on her own and can basically only pee (not poop yet) and lift her head up. She only eats boiled chicken and we've given her CORE water because it has electrolytes. I hope it works - God willing!"
