Please can we remember that there is currently not enough research or information for any of us to guarantee success.
There will be OCCASIONAL cases where people or animals have a bad reaction to the use of turmeric as with any foodstuff (which this is).
It is suggested you begin with very low doses (1/4 teaspoon 2x a day) for a week, and increasing the amount very slowly for a week at each stage.

Just to re-iterate. This is a self help group, if turmeric was a sure thing, the pharmacies would be selling it at highly inflated prices, so for now its trial and error - and entirely your choice.
When you read articles for and against turmeric or any herbs or even medications please use your grey matter and asses the author. Is it a vet, a holistic vet, a veterinary nurse, a manufacturer, someone that has had a good experience, or one of few with a bad experience? Each writer will without thinking (some intentionally) put forward their own very persuasive argument. You need to read it carefully - read other advice too and make your own judgement on what is right for you or your animals.
