holistic vet questions

 

QUESTIONS REGARDING HORSES

When do I feed them?
Twice daily morning and night unless otherwise stated.

How are the herbs administered?
In the feed or mixed with a small amount of water and dosed orally.

How do the horses tolerate the herbs in the feed?
As the herbs are very concentrated and only small quantities are administered at a time, they are usually not noticed at all.

How long will they take to work?
This varies with individual animals and the product being used but benefits are usually apparent within one to two weeks, frequently less.

Why are herbal treatments as a rule slow to work?
The changes in the animal’s body are usually present for a long period and by their nature will be slow to respond. The herbal formulations must first act to rebalance the body and remove the predisposing imbalances that allowed the changes to happen in the first place.

How long will a tub of herbs last?
Usually a tub lasts one month.

How does the dosage vary with the size of the horse?
One level teaspoon twice daily is the common dosage for all sizes of horse from foal to adult unless otherwise stated.

If I increase the dosage will there be any benefit?
No. Any more than the amount prescribed will be wasted.

For how long should the herbs be administered?
Benefit is usually seen within one to two weeks but how individual animals respond will vary. Typically the product should be used until the changes in the animal’s body have been corrected unless otherwise stated. It may take up to three months for full resolution in some cases and sometimes longer.

QUESTIONS REGARDING DOGS AND CATS

Should I treat my dog/cat solely with herbs?
No. There is no substitute for proper professional veterinary care and it is recommended in all cases that professional attention be sought if any doubt exists. These products are complimentary herbal formulas that assist in your dog/cat regaining its full health and vitality. They should be used to compliment veterinary care to speed up healing and correct the imbalances that have occurred to allow the various change to your pets normal health develop. They will actively assist in improving your animals health. Therefore if used as complimentary to conventional treatment your animal should get better quicker and in time the problem may be controlled with these herbal products alone.

How long do they take to work?
This varies with individual animals but benefits are usually apparent within one to two weeks.

In what form do the herbs for small animals come?
Most come in tablet form but some come in powder form only. Any formula can be obtained in powder form if necessary.

How often are the herbs administered?
Usually two to three times daily.

How well do the dogs/cats tolerate the herbs?
Usually very well. The tablets can be administered orally on their own or in feed. The powder can be mixed in the animals feed or mixed with a small amount of water and dosed with a syringe. If some animals dislike the taste a small amount of warmed honey can be added to the water and this makes the mixture more palatable.
