In this Q&A, Cath explains how peritonitis develops, the early warning signs horse owners should recognise, and how a combination of veterinary care and herbal medicine may support recovery and long-term gut health.\n\nPeritonitis in horses can occur when bacteria enter the peritoneal lining through ulcers, intestinal damage, colic complications, or parasites such as strongyles. Because the infection progresses rapidly, early veterinary intervention is essential. Alongside conventional treatment, natural remedies and herbs traditionally used for immune function, tissue repair, and inflammation may help support the healing process and strengthen digestive resilience.\n\nHerbs such as marshmallow root, chamomile, calendula, slippery elm, and echinacea have been used to soothe gut lining, encourage healthy microbiota, and assist the body\u2019s natural immune response. Diet plays a major role as well\u2014high-fibre, low-sugar feeds and healthy hydration assist the digestive system and reduce irritation.\n\nCath also discusses a herbal prevention program focused on reducing parasite-related gut damage - especially from strongyles. Supporting the intestinal wall, improving digestion, and maintaining a strong immune system may reduce the risk of peritonitis occurring in the future.\n\nIf your horse has gut issues, recurring colic, behavioural changes, or unexplained discomfort, this video offers valuable guidance for natural wellness and holistic equine care. ??\n\nIf your horse has gut issues, recurring colic, discomfort, or signs of peritonitis, early veterinary treatment is essential \u2014 but herbal support can help strengthen the immune system, soothe the digestive lining, and encourage long-term healing.\n\n\u2705 Want guidance tailored to your horse?\nSend us a message or book a consultation at mcdowellsherbal.com\n\u2705 Learn more about natural gut support, herbs for strongyles, and holistic equine wellness in our other videos and articles.\n\nDrop your questions below \u2014 Cath will answer them in future Q&As! ??\n\n#PeritonitisInHorses #EquinePeritonitis #HorseGutHealth #NaturalHorseCare #HerbalMedicineForHorses #HolisticHorseHealth #EquineWellness #GutInfectionHorses #StrongylesInHorses #HerbsForHorses #EquineImmuneSupport #HorseHealthTips #NaturalTreatmentForHorses #EquineDigestiveHealth","custom_imageurl":"","custom_title":"","custom_description":"","specialparams":"","lastupdate":"2025-12-05 22:14:41","allowupdates":"1","status":"200","isvideo":"1","link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n8AS09GMXZY","ordering":"10016","publisheddate":"2022-07-05 17:11:20","duration":"123","rating_average":"0","rating_max":"0","rating_min":"0","rating_numRaters":"0","statistics_favoriteCount":"0","statistics_viewCount":"142","keywords":"","startsecond":"0","endsecond":"0","likes":"2","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":"peritonitis-in-horses-explained-natural-treatment-herbal-support-for-gut-health-horsehealth","rawdata":"","datalink":"https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/youtube\/v3\/videos?id=n8AS09GMXZY&part=id,snippet,contentDetails,statistics&key=AIzaSyD89U-SK0UxDlsXZOuS052VTVo8JAqpJ-U"},{"id":"109","listid":"1","parentid":"1","videosource":"youtube","videoid":"bBLM2mQEr8Y","imageurl":"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bBLM2mQEr8Y\/default.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bBLM2mQEr8Y\/mqdefault.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bBLM2mQEr8Y\/hqdefault.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bBLM2mQEr8Y\/sddefault.jpg,https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bBLM2mQEr8Y\/maxresdefault.jpg","title":"??

In this video, we explore what neoplasia and canine cancer really mean, how abnormal cell growth begins, and the natural wellness tools that may support dogs during treatment. If you\u2019re searching for natural treatment for dog tumours, holistic cancer support, or herbal medicine for pets, this Q&A covers gentle, supportive options that work alongside veterinary care. ??\n\nNeoplasia refers to the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, forming a tumour. While some growths are benign, others can be malignant or aggressive. Cath discusses how the immune system, inflammation, microbiome, liver function and diet all play a huge role in how the body responds to cancer cells. Many pet owners now look toward natural wellness, herbal tonics, and immune-supporting herbs to encourage stronger defence, reduce inflammation and improve overall quality of life.\n\nShe explains commonly used herbs with research-backed benefits - antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, lymphatic stimulants and herbs traditionally used to support detoxification and cellular repair. These may be combined with dietary changes, fresh nutrition and stress reduction, especially during chemo, surgery or recovery.\n\n\u2705 Herbs are not a cure for cancer, but they can support vitality, digestion, comfort and immunity while your vet manages the primary treatment. ?\n\n?

If you\u2019re searching for natural PCOS treatment, herbs for PCOS, or how to manage PCOS symptoms naturally, this is a powerful starting point. ?\u2728\n\nPCOS affects the ovaries - the glands that produce oestrogen and progesterone and regulate the menstrual cycle.

As horses age, the cartilage and connective tissue surrounding their joints begin to break down, but arthritis can also affect younger horses due to injury, conformation issues, heavy workloads, poor hoof balance, or autoimmune conditions. When inflammation develops in the joints, horses may show stiffness, swelling, heat, reluctance to move, short stride, difficulty bending, or behavioural changes caused by chronic pain.\n\nIn this video, we look at natural treatments and herbal medicine that can support joint health, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. Many horse owners today are turning to holistic options like anti-inflammatory herbs, omega-3 oils, turmeric, devil\u2019s claw, green-lipped mussel, antioxidants, and diet changes to help maintain cartilage, protect the joints and improve comfort. We also discuss how gut health, circulation, exercise, body condition and hoof trimming play a major role in managing arthritis long-term.\n\nWhether your horse has osteoarthritis, rheumatoid-type inflammation, or early signs of joint stiffness, small changes can make a big difference. From supplements and herbal support to management tips and natural pain relief, this video gives you practical steps to help keep your horse moving freely and feeling comfortable.\n\nIf you care about natural horse health, holistic care, and reducing pain without harsh chemicals, you\u2019ll find this helpful ??\n\n?
