Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi, A friend of mine asked me to seek advice about one of her horses. Peanut is a 3 year old mare. She was bred in may/08. She was injured in mar/apr.... a possible kick or something just above her right knee/foreleg. For the most part she is fine, but every once in a while she will limp, especially if she trots or gallops. There doesn't appear to be any swelling. so it is evidently a bone or deep tissue injury. Are there any natural remedies that would be ok for a pregnant female horse ? Thanks....~malinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi Malinda, since I'm practicing phyto-therapy in horses I dare to answer. That is very kind of you to try to help your friend! One shouldn't give just any herbs to try to clear the symptoms of limping, that would be very much western view. It could very well be a liver problem combined with blood stagnation, but in order to write the correct diagnosis, one would need to observe the horse and get all questions answered. I will send you a questionnaire, you could give the owner and then we could try to help the mare. Would that be ok with you? Regards, Iris Equis TCM Beratung & Heilkr�uter Inh.: Iris Brown Cert.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Damn dude. We're only trained on humans. LOL. If it's bones, tonify kidney. If it's " sinews, " tonify liver. Get THE TAO OF NUTRITION or some book on Chinese Dietary Therapy. Veterinarians can do acupuncture on animals with little if any training. But there are good ones. mthiessen wrote: > Hi, > > A friend of mine asked me to seek advice about one of her horses. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 MSM would be my choice. It is often employed for this. I am not sure how they get them to ingest it, but they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
