Just a follow up on Huey's treatment to include the supplemental support I have been giving him. He currently gets a standard hoof supplement. I am ordering some herb from silverlining herbs for horses - they are: Feet and Bone Support and Laminae Support. He may also get a vascular/respiratory and immune support as time goes by and he gets in better shape to work more- I've noticed at this stage to just walk for 15 minutes is an exhausting event for him - with noticeable heavy breathing and slight sweating- poor guy is out of shape!

As for Tom-
he currently gets the following herbal support:

Immune - astragulus,garlic parsely, licorice,rose hips- to name a few in this mix, INF-X a mix that helps fight off bacteria, viruses and fungi-
Blood Clenz- for healhty circulation/cleaning of blood- and
Liver/Kidney and Lymphatic support
Bio-Sponge
Spirulina Tabs

Tom is getting alot of help with his liver and kidney to help them be strong and toned to do the job of filtering the lymphatic build up- the blood also needs to be cleaned to ensure total health and eradicate this lymphedema from his body once and for all. It is likely he got an original injury - in his upper left groin area- there is actually a scar there- about 3 inches long- where it looks like he may have had stitched there- if this is the case it is easy for infection to set in from that original injury and if it wasn't treated thoroughly - it lingered and stayed in his system- now it is stored as waste in his leg- he simply needs the internal systems to be strong enough to pump this out and herbal support to kill any remaining fungi/bacteria- I suspect his liver and kidneys are quite tired of constantly filtering old lymph waste/unclean blood and yet his overall health is phenomenal- this is why it is so exciting to me to see how the combination of this herbal regime will do with him-
I should mention that the bio-sponge is a natural clay product that gently pulls toxins out of the equine internally- so as gunk gets upheaved, it will be absorbed internally to help soften the blow- the spirulina tabs do the same thing - powerful 'pac-mans' chomping away at gunk internally. none of this will be very effective without a consistent daily exercise regime, which I mentioned in the last posting. The exercise will keep the fluid moving along and filtering out and his lymphatics will gain strength and a memory of how to work properly again. Basically we are going to ask all the toxins stored in his baack leg to wake up and pump through his revitalized liver/kidney and then excrete out of him once and for all- this will take tremendous strength- but if anyone has the strength- I think it would be this mischievous full grown male Belgian who has everything going for him right now at the Taj Mahal aka Blue Star.
