So i am trying to find info and I get some conflicting information on if its ok to use appocaps after a surgery.
My girl had a pericardial window due to blood effusion, she tanked 3x with drainage, and during the surgery they pulled 1 liter from her plural space, IDK the RBC count in it but that a whole lot of fluid that was undetected....and I know that you are suppose to stop it prior to surgery but what about after and in her case since surgery was due to bleeding? In addition... If Im using yunnan baiyao and the appocaps and k9immunity.... ( I hadnt started yet). How do i dose it..like opposite days?

I have not used Apocaps . Did your dog have idiopathic pericardial effusion (unknown cause) or a bleeding hemangiosarcoma on the right atrium? If it was HSA I would probably use K9 Immunity and YB daily with the Apocaps . If idiopathic I would probably use YB only for at least 2 weeks.
