If you look at external symptoms that indicate liver and kidney weakness, you will find that far more horses have metabolic problems than you might think at first glance. However, if these horses are given the right support in a timely manner, you can see how the symptoms disappear or become less severe relatively quickly.
External symptoms may include:
• Dull coat
• Poor or slow coat change, poor winter coat
• Skin problems such as
- Eczema, summer eczema
- mud fever, rasp
- tendency to phlegmon
- Urticaria (“pimples” or spots that cover the body and often secrete a yellowish discharge)
- Hypersensitivity to insect bites, detergents, etc.
- General itching
- Warts and sarcoids
- Tendency to fungi or skin parasites
- General hypersensitivity of the skin
• laminitis
• Hoof abscesses, thrush
• Edema, e.g.
- Swollen legs, "rest day phlegmon"
- spongy ankle or carpal joints
- tarnished, solid neck ridge
- Edema pads on the flanks, often confused with fat pads
• Allergies
• Poor wound healing
• Untypical sweating behavior
• Excessive or insufficient drinking, too much or too little urine
• Greedy eating of salt or mineral licks
The first measures include a change in feed, away from large rations of concentrated feed that are high in sugar, fat and protein, and towards plenty of hay with a high ingrain content and low energy value, and only small portions of concentrated feed with horse-friendly ingredients. In addition, these horses should be supported with appropriate herbs.
Here, the horses should be supported with metabolic herbs.
These herbs “care for” the liver and kidneys. They strengthen the damaged and healthy organs by relieving the weakened liver and kidney tissue.
Both organs work closely together: if the liver is overloaded, kidney problems will occur sooner or later.
After taking medication such as cortisone, the kidneys can become overloaded. If the kidneys can no longer excrete these waste products sufficiently, the body tries to store the toxins in the connective tissue in combination with water.
These are horses that are bloated, such as with a thick mane or swollen legs. The kidneys can no longer regulate the body's water balance.
Composition of the supplementary feed herbal treatment metabolism:
Elecampane root: Increases metabolism
Dandelion root and herb: Regulates the pH value of digestion
Birch leaves: blood purifying, diuretic
Rosehip: strengthens the immune system, supports digestion, strengthens the liver
Peppermint: Strengthening general well-being
Nettle leaves: Strengthens the body's own defenses and metabolism, has a detoxifying effect
Milk thistle seeds: detoxify the liver
Caraway: relaxes, stimulates milk production, against flatulence
Chamomile flowers: Strengthens the digestive tract and counteracts the effects of tannins contained in other herbs
Yarrow: Strengthening liver function
