Horse Health

It is important to provide immune support for horses under 5 years of age, to groups of weanling or yearling colts. These young horses are not fully developed immune systems and are at higher risk for a condition that can get from older horses. That can lead to inflammation of the lining of the nose and throat. Horses can then show depression and fever, mild cough and mild swelling between the mandibles. Lymph nodes can become hard and painful, and can obstruct breathing. The lymph node can also break, releasing thick pus. The lymph node abscess may burst into the throat and pus is inhaled into the lung (a serious complication that requires emergency veterinary care.)

The best way to keep horses healthy is to provide a clean environment. Many items in the barn may need constant cleaning with disinfectant – such as buckets, bags and food boxes, walls, doors, or pasture environment (fences and water channels). The buckets of water or food containers should be cleaned daily and disinfected if a horse shows symptoms. The bed should then be burned to prevent spread by flies. Staff working with horses should change their gowns and boots regularly, and wash the arms and hands thoroughly with strong soap. Farms with large populations and movements of horses, particularly foals and yearling, would like all incoming horses were isolated from 2-3 weeks and veterinary inspections carried out before introducing the rest of barn. There.

This remedy is often used to treat high temperature and fever. With a great interest in health and alternative medicine, I believe that natural remedies and alternative therapies have their place in modern medicine. I am confident that an informed person is potentially a more happy and healthy one.
