Is your Horse Tying Up??

Published by Trevor Wozencroft under Horse tying up

A condition know in horses as Tying Up can vary from a slight stiffness to a total reluctance to move in severe cases .

Affected horses should not be forced to move as this may worsen the condition, the urine of the affected horse in severe cases takes on a characteristic coffee colour indicating the presence of myoglobin in the urine.

If tying up is suspected immediately stop working .

Trying to continue work even in mild cases will cause further damage to the muscles, exercise intolerance, is the most common problem for tying up in the most severe cases. Many horses have numerous tying up episodes and mildly affected horses may have only one episode per year.

Effected horses may benefit from selenium and vitamin E supplementation.

The mineral selenium can be found in seaweed and garlic vitamin E is found in black sunflower seed, the dual roles of these two nutrients is maintaining muscle membrane integrity and preventing tissue per-oxidation.

Mares and fillies are more likely to develop the problem of tying up than colts or geldings management of the horses feed and exercise are critical in the control of tying up, 50% of the horses requirement for digestible energy should be met by using fibrous feeds such as good-quality, grassy hay.

Not top-quality lucerne avoid a sudden change in diet at all times.

Any changes to the diet should be made gradually, a high-fat low carbohydrate diet is very effective in eliminating many nutritional problems,on days that a horse is not to be worked reduce there feed intake and allow some exercise.

Use training techniques that minimize physical and physiological stress, while allowing the horse to get fit enough to perform the tasks for which they are intended .

Photonic Light Therapy can be used as a management tool, along with good nutritional and exercise management to control tying up,you should always discuss any health problems with your horse with your local veterinarian.

Diagnosis and Symptons of Colic in Horses

Published by Trevor Wozencroft under Colic Horses

Colic in horses, is a very serious problem.

That all horse owner should be well aware of.

Many different diagnostic tests can be used to diagnose the cause of equine colic, which may have greater or lesser value in certain situations.

The most important distinction to make is whether the condition should be managed medically or surgically.

If surgery is indicated, then it must be performed with utmost haste.

The most common forms of colic are gastrointestinal in nature and are most often related to colonic disturbance.

There are a variety of different causes of colic, some of which can prove fatal without surgical intervention.

Colic surgery is usually an expensive procedure as it is major abdominal surgery, often with intensive aftercare.

Among domestic horses, colic is the leading cause of premature death.

The incidence of colic in the general horse population has been estimated between 10 and 11 percent on an annual basis.

It is important that any person who owns or works with horses be able to recognize the signs of colic.

And determine whether or not a veterinarian should be called, all horse owners must be familiar with their local veterinary clinic as problems such as colic can need urgent treatment.

It is imperative to fully understand , the clinical signs of colic.

Following are some of the clinical signs for colic in horses

  • Pawing/or scraping
  • Frequent attempts to urinate
  • Flank  watching
  • Pacing
  • Rolling
  • Loss of appetite
  • Increased pulse rate
  • Dark mucus membranes

Photonic Therapy, can play a very significant role in treating and controlling colic.

A horse that is treated regularly with Photonic Therapy, is less likely to suffer with colic problems.

Colic in Horses and Feed Management

Published by Trevor Wozencroft under Colic Horses

The most effective way to reduce the incidence of colic in horses on the farm or on the racetrack.

Is to feed Liberal quantities of good quality forages, limit grain intake to that necessary to maintain acceptable body condition.

And feed the grain portion of the daily ration in small meals and as frequently as practical.

Additionally, it is a good idea to have hay available to all horses even in the spring when pasture is lush.

In many instances there is simply not enough gut — scratch factor in lush grass.

This, combined with the increased rate of passage associated with a low dry matter feed, leads to the appearance of more soluble forage constituents in the hindgut, which again can lead to gas build — up and abdominal discomfort.

There are very few, if any, instances when over — feeding dry hay can lead to a problem, but there are numerous problems that can develop  if hay is limited.

Although everyone is taught of the perils of feeding moldy  hay, this practice is not nearly as important a cause of colic in horses as is under  feeding forage.

The potential for enormous problems of the gut if tainted or moldy feedstuffs are fed.

As the horse has a much lower threshold of pain than cattle and as such cannot tolerate the insult to the gastrointestinal tract inflicted by certain molds or the toxins they produce.

Moldy hay and or grain should not be fed to horses, as certainly the risk of colic is increased.

It is common in some parts of the world to see large round bales of hay and or silage fed to horses.

Although many times this is done successfully, one must realise that there is an increased risk of gastric upset when either of these practices are used.

Horses generally will not ingest moldy feedstuffs if given a choice, but moldy hay or spoiled silage can be deadly if the horse is forced to eat either.

Feedstuffs fed to horses should be free of mold and other foreign debris, be of a species appropriate for the horse and should be properly cured and stored in a manner that will prevent contamination.

Moldy feedstuffs can also cause abortion in any livestock.

Colic in Horses the Causes

Published by Trevor Wozencroft under Colic Horses

Since the advent of the modern  (dewormers) , the most important cause of colic in horses is nutrition related mismanagement.

Nutritionally induced colic can be grouped into two categories:

  • Improper forage grain ratios
  • Inadequate amounts of forage, and the  use of tainted feedstuffs.

Far and away the more important cause of colic is improper forage grain ratios in feed.

The horse is a wandering herbivore, a continuous grazier and has an absolute requirement for long stem hay or pasture, the horse has evolved eating mainly grass.

And if allowed, will eat for 16 — 18 hours each day.

Failure to realise this simple fact probably results in more colic in horses than any other single cause.

The fact that hay is  limited in some  instances, it is made worse by the fact that in many of these cases the horses are on a high level of grain intake as well.

On  high grain diets, rate of passage of   ingesta is increased, allowing more readily fermentable carbohydrates to reach the hind gut.

Fermentation of this material often results in a decrease  pH under the influence of the lactic acid that is produced.

This decrease in gut pH causes a shift in the microflora of the hindgut, which can result in the release of toxins and subsequent clinical symptoms of colic.

Additionally, in this type of disorder  their is frequently an increase in the gas production in the hindgut that may lead to a flatulence and subsequent colic.

Colic in horses can be prevented and treated, with Photonic Therapy.

Take a look at this testimonial,from one of our very happy customers.

That successfully used Photonic Therapy to treat her horses colic.

Photonic Therapy Reverses Colic

My 25 year old school pony (the absolute golden girl of the stable) came down with colic one evening.

She has been prone to colicing in the past and has always need vetinary intervention as soon as possible as she tends to worsen rapidly.

This time due to her going down at 5.30pm (out of vet hours hence the call fee etc escallates) I thought I would at least do the colic points with the photon torch.
So – I went over all the recommended points a couple of times over with a good 30 seconds on each point.

Before my eyes and to my disbelief she started looking brighter in the eye and not wanting to go to ground constantly.

After 5 minutes she was happily eating her hay – and never looked back!
I monitored her a couple of time before turning in for the night – all good!

To this day I still marvel at this case.

I have used the torch many many times over with muscle soreness etc with excellent results.

Every stable and indeed household should have one!

Check out Maestro the Most Accident Prone Horse in the world story:

Dear Laura and Trevor
I just wanted to let you know of the events that have taken place over the last 12 months or so that my torch and photonic therapy has helped with, and let you know how things are progressing….
I have told you before how much of a skeptic I was in the beginning, but the bottom line is with my horses I will try anything once to get them over their trials and tribulations.
My old thoroughbred Maestro used to be the Most Accident Prone Horse in the world.
The first opportunity I had to use the torch was after a bad storm when Maestro freaked
out and bolted when some lightning struck, slid in the mud and of course went straight
under the nasty rusty old barbed wire fence of the property I was renting at the time.
He basically degloved the back of his legs – if it were not for the fact I knew I had a lot of
work to do on him that night I would have been violently ill when faced with the blood
and gore I was presented with.
There was no point in calling a vet (apart from the ridiculous late hour, there was
nothing left to stitch!!!) so I washed everything down with peroxide, smothered him in
calendula ointment, and let him be for the night.
The following morning after I called you I began work on just running the torch gently
over the outside of the wound, and watched in sheer amazement over the next two
weeks as the gaping wounds, some areas which were through several layers of flesh,
began to heal at a rate which I would not have believed if I had not seen it for myself.
There was no infection, no scarring, no pain on Maestro’s part (and trust me, he would
have let me know if there was!!!!) and to look at his legs today you would never know
what a horror movie he looked like that night!!!!!
And of course, the Big Project, working on getting my mare in foal after everyone has
told me that she will never carry a foal again…. I am so glad I made that trip up to
Toowoomba that day in all the mud and rain and invested in my kit…

Talk about money well spent...
Brilliant. Thankyou so much, and not just for the kit, but for your continued support and
advice and being on the end of the phone when I need help with something…. This
really is life changing stuff…..
Kind regards, and many many thanks
Allyson Corti

Want more proof

Read Cilla’s story

Cilla's Injury bofore Photonic Therapy
Cilla’s Injury before Photonic Therapy

After Cilla’s accident mid july 2006 our greatest concern at this time was the shock.
The closest vet is a least a couple of hours away and we thought that there was no way
Cilla was in any condition to be travelled.
I remembered Trevor telling me that you could use the Photonic Therapy Light for all
kinds of things so I raced to get the DVD to find out what to do.
In my panic to get the DVD out of its packet I snapped it in two.
In desperation, I climbed to the top of the hay shed to use the mobile phone to call
Trevor to get help for the situation.
He was great and told me what to do and what points to treat for the shock.
When her condition stabilized,we thoroughly examined her legs.To say the least her
legs looked a mess.
There was no skin left to stich and the wounds were very deep.
I used disinfectant to clean the legs,I painted her legs with honey and Stockholm tar and
used the Photonic Therapy Lightas Trevor directed.
The first few days her legs swelled to a great size and the wounds kept weeping.
I kept hosing and using the light and applying the honey and Stockholm tar each day,
mostly at least twice daily.
It took a few weeks before the legs started to improve and then she healed very
quickly,It was truly amazing.
By the beginning of September, Cilla was moving freely and cantering around the
paddock.
By mid September the legs were healed completely and we were pretty sure that she
was completely sound.
We mustered on her a couple of times so then we talked about starting at the Warwick
Gold Cup.
Entries close the beginning of October so we nominated her for a draft at the end of
September to see how she handled it.
No problems. At Warwick, she put 3 very good rounds together and just missed the final
of the Canning by 1 point.
She has won and placed several times since and it is not very often that she misses the
final.
There is hardly any scaring, and we couldn’t be happier with the way she has healed.
We regularly use the Photonic Therapy Light on all our horses as well as using it for our
own personal use.
We would highly recommend the Photonic Therapy Light and hopefully you do not have
a situation like Cilla’s but even for everyday aches and pains, cuts, bumps, and even toothache it is
wonderful.
The Photonic Therapy Light is great and we are very happy that we purchased it.
