I managed to get him out of the dam but was unable to move trekker away from the edge, where he chose to rest, to alleviate the pain in his hooves. The Vet came the next day, and he was diagnosed with Acute Laminitis. He was initially treated with a daily dose of Bute, for a maximum of 3 days. I am always cautious using Bute for pain relief due to its negative effects on the body's systems.\n\nI immediately made contact with Cath, and he commenced Infect-A-Clear, Alleviate, Colloidal Silver, along with Slippery Elm Powder (Equigesta-Pre) and chamomile flowers to assist with his gut flora. During this time approximately a week, if not 2, he was walked every hour and his abscesses where able to surface. It was evident that he had more than one abcess, he in fact had 5 - 3 on the front left hoof, one on the left hind, and another on the right hind hoof. Trekker was in excruciating pain and found it difficult to weight bare. He would often Lay down straight after our walk. Walking was, and is, encouraged to promote blood flow to the hooves. Almost another week or 2 had passed and to our amazement, his whole front left leg began to swell, it had doubled in size. My vet and I where stunned, as we had initially thought that he had a 6th abcess in the works.\n\nhttps:\/\/www.mcdowellsherbal.com\/success-stories-for-horses\/1580-trekker","custom_imageurl":"","custom_title":"","custom_description":"","specialparams":"","lastupdate":"2025-10-21 07:05:27","allowupdates":"1","status":"200","isvideo":"1","link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dn2zR9RtX5Y","ordering":"10047","publisheddate":"2018-03-05 04:17:23","duration":"208","rating_average":"0","rating_max":"0","rating_min":"0","rating_numRaters":"0","statistics_favoriteCount":"0","statistics_viewCount":"503","keywords":"laminitis,founder,horse health,natural health,herbal treatment,horses,healing","startsecond":"0","endsecond":"0","likes":"3","dislikes":"0","commentcount":"0","channel_username":"","channel_title":"","channel_subscribers":"0","channel_subscribed":"0","channel_location":"","channel_commentcount":"0","channel_viewcount":"0","channel_videocount":"0","channel_description":"","channel_totaluploadviews":"0","alias":"jana-and-the-story-of-trekker-how-herbs-healed-my-horse-of-acute-laminitis","rawdata":"","datalink":"https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/youtube\/v3\/videos?id=dn2zR9RtX5Y&part=id,snippet,contentDetails,statistics&key=AIzaSyD89U-SK0UxDlsXZOuS052VTVo8JAqpJ-U"},{"id":"9","listid":"1","parentid":"1","videosource":"youtube","videoid":"UJgmME87Lh0","imageurl":"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UJgmME87Lh0\/default.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UJgmME87Lh0\/mqdefault.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UJgmME87Lh0\/hqdefault.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UJgmME87Lh0\/sddefault.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UJgmME87Lh0\/maxresdefault.jpg","title":"?
