This blend of Traditional Chinese Herbs is designed to help horses and ponies with Equine Cushings disease (Pars Pituitary Intermedia Dysfunction). This formula helps those that are extra hot, sweaty AND low in energy (Yin and Qi deficiency).  

Currently in Australia, certain traditional Chinese herbal blends are only allowed to be dispensed by a registered veterinarian.

As with all Traditional Chinese Herbal blends, the best results are likely to occur when prescribed by an integrative veterinarian who can examine your animal in person. Telehealth consultations however, can be used when access to an appropriate veterinarian is difficult or not possible.

If you would like to access the Integrative Veterinary Products Herbal blends, please book an appointment to access a telehealth (phone or video) appointment with Dr Tanya Meares BVSc.

Before the appointment, you will be asked to submit a form with background information about your animal and their health issues.

The cost of the 15-30 minute telehealth appointment is $80 but you will receive a discount of $40 on your first order of any an herbal blend in the shop (if any are suggested).

How it Works

In traditional Chinese Medicine, most horses with PPID (Cushings disease) progress from Equine Metabolic Syndrome, to Cushings disease with Yin deficiency (seen as hot and sweaty horses). They then continue to Cushings disease with Yin and Qi deficiency (seen as hot and sweaty horses who lack energy), and finally they progress to a Yang deficiency where they are frail and cold.

By using traditional chinese herbal formulas along with an appropriate diet, some of the symptoms may be lessened or reversed. Medication if used, may sometimes be able to be reduced. Each formula targets a different stage and it is important to match the horses symptoms to the correct formula.
