Dose 60 drops twice daily: $112 (Note: At the recommended dose the course will last nearly 5 weeks) Stringhalt is probably the most frustrating condition I have been faced with in my practice over the years. Various weeds like Dandelion in NSW, and Fireweed in Victoria, are blamed, but I am certain there is some fungus which inhabits these plants at times and it is the fungus which can damage the central nervous system of susceptible horses. My treatment revolves around the herbs which physically rehabilitate damage to the central nervous system and the brain itself. The mix includes Comfrey, Dandelion, Magnesium Phosphate, Mugwort, Pine Bark, Sage, Saw Palmetto and Valerian along with the Bach Flowers Heather, Vine, Elm, Vervain and Rescue Remedy. This course is given over a 12 week period and a single dose each day of yoghurt (acidophilus) about a couple of dessertspoons is given as well. Along with the recommendation that no Lucerne products should be fed during this time. The aim of the treatment is to clear any fungal residue and speed the recovery, which often occurs anyway over time. The treatment is also formulated to help rebuild any muscle wastage resulting from the condition and to reduce sensitivity so that the animal will be much less likely to come down again with Stringhalt.
