Ross River Fever treatment for Miley - McDowell's Herbal Treatments

SS miley

Miley tested positive for Ross River Fever, so I started her on your Ross River A and B formulas.

Miley is a 16 year old quarterhorse mare who I have owned for 5 years. She tore ligaments in her right hip around Christmas and had been notably lame since that time but I had been managing her injury with bodywork and some low level rehab on the ground. 

Even with her hip injury Miley has always been a very "chatty" horse and was very willing to participate in her rehab program and her manual therapy sessions and she was always either with me or her herd of alpacas. Then in March I noticed her deteriorating quite rapidly over a couple of weeks, her wole persona changed, she wasnt moving around the property, she went off her feed (which is unheard of) and she just stayed under a tree with her head down.

I couldnt coax her to move and she stopped "talking". I rang the equine vet who came out and did and assessment and took some bloods which concluded she had Ross River fever.

I have used supplements of Cath's in the past so I messaged her and she gave me some advice as what to do in regards to diet and herbs to help her symptoms and pain.

And what a turn around! Within a week she was moving better and back to eating and now a couple of months later she is back to her old self and actually moving the best she has in a very long time, galloping around the paddock on 4 legs instead of 3.

Due to the hip injury and the RRV she has been retired but my friend Dr Raquel Butler visited her on the weekend and said she looks amazing and I could probably start riding her again. I'm very happy with the outcome as I truthfully thought I might lose my sweet girl there for a while.

Cath, Miley and I send you enormous thanks!
