Using this invaluable guide, you'll become an active participant in your horse's health care. First, Dr. Brennan offers holistic advice for everyday management issues, including diet, stabling, behavior, exercise, tack, traveling, and nursing to help your horse thrive. You learn to recognize subtle physical and emotional signals so you can address problems before illness strikes. Next, the book offers a thorough, detailed A-Z review of common horse ailments and diseases—from abscesses to laminitis to weight management—to help you identify, understand, and treat a variety of conditions. Dr. Brennan explains how to strengthen your horse's immune system, select and prepare herbs, use acupressure, homeopathy, Bach Flowers, aromatherapy, lasers, and magnets, as well as many other alternative modalities, to enhance veterinary treatment and promote and maintain energy and soundness. As a bonus, you'll find—for the first time in any book for horses—complete lists of all the acupuncture points, aromatherapy, Bach Flower, herb, and homeopathic remedies that you need to know to effectively treat your horse.
Alternative therapies emphasize strengthening and balancing the horse's own biological system to promote healing and health, and generally, are both less expensive and less invasive than conventional options. Even chronic conditions and old injuries often improve with alternative approaches. Therapies such as acupuncture, massage, nutraceuticals, and chiropractic can effectively address troubling conditions like liver disease, navicular syndrome, and ringbone, which are often unresponsive to conventional treatment. When conventional medicine is necessary (and Dr. Brennan recommends pharmaceuticals where appropriate), natural therapies can help the horse's body cope with the sometimes stressful side effects.
A holistic approach to horse care will provide you and your veterinarian with a wide variety of tools to improve and maintain your horse's vitality and zest. This comprehensive manual will guide you along the way.
