EQUINE INFLUENZA SUPPORT PLAN
This support programme is best commenced prior to the virus reaching your locality. This usually means commencing when it is about 50kms from your horse(s).
- Commence PRO-FORM & PRO-MUNE as directed on the label. Over 5 days reduce the hard feed in the diet.
- Twice daily add 4 cloves of fresh minced garlic in 250mls of cider vinegar with the mother bug included (has a cloudy appearance and is not available in supermarkets but is in most produce shops). Use to dampen morning and night feeds.
- Also add 150mls of virgin coconut oil to morning feed and again in the night feed.
- Increase the bulk content using lucerne hay and chaff and wheaten chaff, also mixed grasses if available.
- Include 1 cup of uncooked brown rice in the morning and night feed. If the horse doesn't have the availability of pick include include some low heating pellets with less than 15% protein.
- It is beneficial to have a blood analysis done prior to commencing the programme and another about 1 month later.
- Monitor temperatures twice daily. If the temperature rises over 39.5deg. your vet may suggest a dose of Bute to help lower the temperature. Vets we have been in contact with have said that antibiotics don't seem to help much at all with the virus itself.
- The total duration of this support programme is usually 21 days. However some horses may experience mucous elimination for longer. These horses need to stay on PRO-FORM until their nose, eyes & cough have cleared.
