Re: laminitus aid

I haven't used it myself - it'd be worth checking out the Laminitis Trust ( Index page for Laminitis Trust information ) as they can give you more information & I'd personally only use feed that had been approved by them. Obviously following all veterinary advice is a must as well

Good luck, I hope you can keep laminitis at bay this year!

Smile Re: laminitus aid

I had marvellous results with it, I just caught the pony in time and brought him in, I used this for a fortnight but he was noticably better in 3 days, and the best thing is that its a herbal product and can be used for a variety of foot problemss. He is now sound and being ridden again. I bought multifoot in my local saddlers but their web site is Groom's Choice - Herbal Products to Assist Horses Recovery from Laminitis, Thrush, Seedy Toe and most Foot Ailments. Good luck its sure worth a try.

I'll be entirely honest and say you didn't 'cacth it just in time' if your pony was already lame when you brought him in. (assuming lame, as otherwise, how was he noticably better in three days?!)

The Laminitis Clinic (the nationally recognised veterinary experts on Laminitis) advise keeping a pony in on box rest for 30 days once it is sound, so the laminae can repair fully. If you turn out/work the pony prior to that, you are risking rotation and/or founder, and a pony that may have to be PTS.

Laminitis and it's mis- management kills more horses and ponies in this country than any other single cause. It is VERY serious and horses do not even have to be noticably lame to have severe rotation.

In what way do you feel the supplement you have been feeding has helped?

Re: laminitus aid

Multi-Foot is recommend for use by my vet and farrier.

The farrier states that to his knowledge 42 horses have returned to good strong hoof growth and back into work, also the recovery from Laminitis is excellent by using Multi-Foot.

It should be used as directed on the web site at www,groomschoice.com.

It is for external use ONLY.

A horse with rotated pedal bone, and having been stabled and fitted with heart bar shoes. The choice was having the horse put down or treated with Multi-Foot. I choose the later. Due to the fitment of the shoes the frog had rotted down to the sensative frog, after six days application the frog was of normal size and health, after seventeen days it was decided that the horse could be turned out night and day.

The laminitis clinic have carried out trials on a product simular which they use and have found that after 158 days of application the horse was found to be normal.

Re: laminitus aid

There is a better product listed on the horses page at Home Page it all comes down to how toxic the horses are and ponies are more problamatic because of their shorter stature. Mercury-aresenic-is building up in the pony-do not do all your shots on same day-pony is also becoming insulin resistant ''IR'' this one product clears up all this. NCD

Re: laminitus aid

The product to which you refer is for internal usage.

Where as Multi-Foot is for external use, and therefore has the ability to directly treat the area of illness with the added bonus of a proven very short time to recovery.

Is this not what all horse owners, but more importantly all ponies and horses want when they are struck by Laminitis.

Thumbs up Re: laminitis aid

Laminitis is on the inside of the hoof-horses detoxing-inflamation-you need to treat the whole horse not just a topical anti inflamatory-like putting arthritis creme on your hurting inflamed knee or elbow-better to internally resolve the inflamation and reason for it. The product I use and recommend to my horse clients that I do equine body work for helps detox the whole horse so the laminitis does not come back [unless they ate too much green grass or grains]. When you pull out all the toxins they can utilize their own nurtition and feeds better and they grow a stronger thicker more resilent hoof wall and sole-from the inside out. It has also been disolving stones in humans and horses-helping with IR, cushings and ulcers-helping the whole horse from the inside out. This is truly an amazing product a friend turned me onto-after years of pain I am finally done with Lymes-no more pain!!! Lymes all gone in me!!!
