Equine Cushing's disease is caused by a tumour in the pituitary gland, which is responsible for the production and regulation of hormones. While the tumour itself is benign, the cells within the tumour produce excess hormones, creating an imbalance in the horse's body.
The cause of the tumour itself is usually not known.
The body runs off minerals.
From minerals, enzymes are made. Enzymes activate vitamins.
All diseases are man made names for mineral imbalances.
Could your Horse have Cushing's?
Symptoms Include:
Abnormally long hair coat.
Thick, long, curly hair that does not shed out in spring.
Muscle wasting/loss Sagging "pot" belly.
Laminitis.
Depression or low energy levels.
Increased thirst.
Increased Urination.
Abnormal fat deposits, even on horses that otherwise look thin.
Enlargement of mammary glands in mares.
Eye tumors, blindness.
Add an "adult size" amount of "Potassium" and "Magnesium" to daily food or liquid and oral syringe with herbs
Example:
Effects of Cushing’s Disease on Potassium Level
The elevation of cortisol level in people with Cushing’s disease causes a decrease in the level of potassium, a condition called hypokalemia. At high levels, cortisol stimulates the tubules that control the absorption of electrolytes in the kidneys to excrete more potassium into the urine. According to the National Adrenal Diseases Foundation, this happens more often in people who have Cushing’s disease because of increased production of ACTH in other places than the pituitary, like a lung tumor.
Symptoms of Cushing’s Disease
According to the Mayo Clinic, the symptoms of Cushing’s disease vary from patient to patient. In general, symptoms include weight gain with deposition of fat in the mid-body, upper back between the shoulder blades, giving the appearance of a hump, and on the face. Skin changes occur and include easy bruising, stretch marks and acne. Women can develop thicker facial and body hair, while men can have decreased fertility and libido. Other symptoms include muscle weakness and fatigue and changing mental status with easy irritability and poorly controlled emotions.
Symptoms of Low Potassium
Low potassium, or hypokalemia, can also cause muscle weakness, with cramps and twitches, low blood pressure and decreased breathing. Patients can also have paralysis and rhabdomyolysis, or muscle cell breakdown. As the level of potassium decreased, the chances of abnormal heart rhythms increase. These can be as mild as skipped beats or as serious as ventricular fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm that can be fatal.

Medicinal Uses
Astragalus – One of the most commonly recommended herbs for the natural treatment of Hyperadrenocorticism. It is an adaptogenic herb that buffers the adrenal response to stress. Balances the adrenal glands. Stabilizes blood sugar and blood pressure. Supports the immune system.
Gingko Biloba - has been shown to reduce the production of natural cortisone in dogs with Cushing's disease.
Chastetree ( or chasteberry) has been used in Europe and other countries to control a variety of human reproductive problems, including PMS, menopause and polycystic ovaries. The common denominator in these syndromes is a high level of prolactin, a pituitary hormone that is known to be elevated in many cases of a pituitary tumor in a human.
It has proven also very effective in horses studies cases of Cushing's.
Dandelion Root - Supports the liver, digestive system, and adrenal glands. Replenishes potassium. Stabilizes blood sugar. Reduces inflammation. Contains antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals for dietary support of dogs or horses with Hyperadrenocorticism. It also promotes liver health and regulates bile production.

General "Animal Dosing"
Guide
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES
“HOMEOPATHIC” are sold in either a clear liquid or tiny white pills or granules – both have no odor or taste. Easy application dosing for all species. Avoid storing in the fridge. Shelf Life is for several years and long when kept away from strong odors and direct heat.
"One dose for all species is"
1. Homeopathic " LIQUID" form
(clear liquid with alcohol in it) DRIP or APPLY 3 to 4 drops only, pat into fur/skin with the bottom of the bottle. i.e. back of shoulder blades (not orally) which is regarded as one dose for all size species and ages. Note: we are suggesting that you can use homeopathic liquid on all species and sizes, but using the liquid form is easier to apply to very small animals rather than using the remedy in pill form. Repeat dosing as needed is easy when applying to the body. (it will not affect the liver or digestive system) * For casual dosing, we can also add a few drops to meals or/ water dish, mix and stir in well. Do not add more the 3 or 4 drops to meals for felines.
2. Homeopathic "PILLS" form
(tiny white pills, no taste) crush a pill (or whole) and add to gum/pouch of mouth to dissolve in saliva. Does not need to swallow it. The remedy is on the outside of the pill, so it just needs to come in contact with the mucous membrane to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
3. Homeopathic "GRANULES" form
(tiny white grains, no taste) only a few grains are needed - a light sprinkle or a tiny pinch with fingers - and add to meals, or stir into water trough or bowl. You cannot give too much or overdose (unlike chemical drugs).
Casual repeat dosing can add to water bowl or feed dish or water trough for wildlife or farm animals. Note: Keeping in mind it is not so much the number of drops or pills GIVEN AT THE ONE TIME THAT IS SO IMPORTANT, but the "FREQUENCY OF REPEAT DOSING" that promotes healing. You cannot give too many drops or pills to cause side effects or overdose. FOR EXAMPLE, if a child or pet finds a bottle of remedies and takes the whole bottle of pills or drops, nothing will happen, unless of course, it was what the child or pet needed. And it would still be considered as one dose. REFER TO " Bottle Label" SUGGEST FREQUENCIES-REPEAT - GUIDE ONLY - DOSING.
The rule is - for quick relief, we do frequent repeat dosing applications, with less time in between each repeat. E.g in an acute state of symptoms repeats every 5 minutes. If it is the right remedy then you will see a change in the first, second or third repeat. Then you can stop, repeat casually if needed later or acute repeats.
IF NO CHANGE, THEN IT IS THE INCORRECT REMEDY AND NEED TO GO ONTO AND TRY ANOTHER UNTIL YOU GET THE RESPONSE YOU NEED.
HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE RESULTS?
Generally speaking, your pet should start seeing results in a few days.
However, how well and how fast your pet responds to homeopathy is unique to each animal. In chronic illnesses, relief typically begins anywhere from within a few days, to within three or four weeks. In acute symptoms, relief will usually appear within minutes to hours.
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO GIVE MY PET HIS REMEDY?
Since all animals are different, the length of time a remedy is needed differs from animal to animal. In severe illnesses, the improvement can be very fast. With chronic conditions that have existed for many years, some pets find complete health within a year. Often requiring not just homeopathic medicines, but herbal, and suggested minerals and vitamin, diet. Most importantly, once your pet is better, the homeopathic medicine can be stopped. Homeopathy heals, unlike drugs that control or suppress a condition, therefore cannot be stopped.
HOW LONG WILL A BOTTLE LAST?
A 30ml bottle usually lasts up to six months or more.
HOW TO USE?
See Dosage Info "TAB"
(How a dose is given herbal and homeopathic)
IS THE DOSAGE THE SAME FOR ALL ANIMALS?
Yes. Why? Whether it is a dog, cat, horse, etc., the weight of the animal is irrelevant to the dose. How frequently the remedy is applied is more important than the amount given.
CAUTION
Store the remedy away from sunlight and heat. Garlic, coffee and strong odors can cancel the remedy. Do not put more than 3 to 4 drops in a cats meal each time or milk drinks. (mix well)
SHELF LIFE
Several Years and longer.

General "herbal dosing" for all species and sizes
* Cat or Toy dog, Bird (see special instructions below),
* Small dog (approx. 30 - 50 drops),
* Medium size dog (approx. 40 - 60 drops)
* Large dog (approx. 60 - 80 drops).
Repeat once to twice a day. If acute symptoms -repeat up to 4 times for a few days then reduce back to once or twice a day.
CONTINUE TO USE THE MIX UNTIL FINISHED. Then remake another batch when finished if needed or suggested.
Small animal, cat, toy dog, rabbit:
ORAL DOSING
e.g 30 or 40 drops (.. what it suggested on bottle label) in a small bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of slippery elm powder (this will help hid the taste) then fill the dish with about 1/4 cup of boiled hot water from the kettle stir well, let cool. Then oral syringe side of mouth small sips at a time until 1ml is taken.
* Can also add a pinch of greens powder supplement of some sort (we use synergy greens or vital greens), magnesium and mineral drops e.g 10 drops of each and stir in well.
OR
MIX INTO MEALS
Cat, try mixing it into daily meals - if okay with 1ml of diluted herbs, you can see if you can give more 2ml or so, especially if needing a faster response.
Bird - If using alcohol-free herbs. (if after you have diluted in hot water to dissolve alcohol in the herbal formula). Dilute 4 drops into a teaspoon of filtered water or natural fruit juice and using a very small thin syringe tiny sips in the side of the mouth (not the front of the beak) until 1ml is taken - repeat twice a day if not too stressful for your budgie or parrot. If you need to gently wrap in a soft face washer or small towel.
Adult Canine, Equine, Cow, Sheep, Goat
Add herbal drops (as recommended on bottle label) to some unsweetened applesauce or apple juice or other tasty strong flavored liquid or soft food, and oral syringe side of the mouth. Can add other vitamins (crushed) powders to mix.
Note; always best to buy vitamins in capsule form as this has fewer additives.
NUTRITION
Giving vitamins and supplements (tablets or powders) Always crush tablet before adding to food or liquid mix.
However, capsules dont have the binding other nasty in them.
Felines or small animals: makeup 1/4 cup of mixture, adding approx. a pinch of some type of Green powder (alkaline powder) or Chlorella powder (cleansing of toxins) or Vital Greens (highly nutritional) with 10 drops of herbs if you are having to also give herbal medicines (i.e. brown liquid) (after a little hot water added to dissolve alcohol),
Med to large animals: add twice to three times the amount.
DOSING GUIDE:
Feline or small animal: using an oral syringe draw up 1ml and gently small sips. Or add a teaspoon to meals if they don’t mind eating it with meals (mix well into food) Do not put in Fridge. Room temp is best as too cold is disliked by felines.
Canine, equine, cow, sheep, goat: try mixing well into food and handpiece before feeding main meals. Or does same as suggested for felines, but add three times as much herbal medicines and vitamins to 1/2 cup of water or (unsweetened) applesauce or apple juice.
What I do for example
If I was needing to give herb treatments and/or vitamin supplements to feline or toy dog or other small animals – I add this herbal formula to a small bowl add some boiled water (about a teaspoon) to it so to dissolve the alcohol in it, let cool, then add what vitamins If needed (powder or crushed tab – a pinch) mixed in another 50ml of water, and oral syringe once a day or twice a day …. smear on a little “vegemite paste” (if cannot get Vegemite in your country, try fresh pate or slippery elm powder added can help mask the taste) around and on tip of oral syringe, as felines seem to really like the taste of this paste, but not too much as it is quite a strong taste)
Ulcers, Scouring or Diarrhea
Slippery Elm Powder
(from health food stores) If needing to add or use Slippery Elm powder.
FOR CONDITIONS like …. diarrhea, stomach ulcers, or sore inflamed mouth or mouth ulcers, constipation, or IBS (i.e. colitis), plus it can also be been given as a liquid meal given orally via syringe as it is highly nutritional (oral liquid feeding) for convalescing during illness when not eating solids.CONVALESCING ..can be been given as a liquid meal given orally via syringe as it is highly nutritional (oral liquid feeding) for convalescing during illness when not eating solids or not eating very well. INSTRUCTIONS - Add 1/2 teaspoon of powder, (if also giving herbal medicines add 20-40 drops of herb as well) then boil kettle and pour hot water to this blend, adding about a couple of tablespoon stir, once mixed well into a smooth paste. Add more liquid approx 20ml or so of fluids (for small pets) or 1/4 cup for larger animals, (e.g structured colloidal silver, liquid minerals (ReMyte), liquid maganesium (ReMag), Liposomal vitamin C (BioCeuticals) liquid, or just water).
OPTIONS: Oral dose in syringe or add to meals three times a day or more to maintain normal health again, they can stop or reduce frequencies.
Titre Tests - first before Vaccination
NO PET SHOULD EVER HAVE A BOOSTER (VACCINE), NOT EVER, WITHOUT A TITRE TEST TO SEE IF IT'S ACTUALLY NEEDED.
It makes no difference what country you live in, either.
Biogal brand - VacciCheck® Antibody Test Kit
Request that your Vet has this new Titre Test available for testing your pets. It is an inexpensive test compared to sending blood away for testing.
AVAILABLE by request from a Vet Clinic Or let your Vet know about it.
* USA - www.VacciCheck.com
* Australia - Give these details to your Vet - Laboratories Diagnostics NSW.
Sonia Whittle Tel: 61-2-9668-0600 Website: www.labdiagnostics.com.au
Ask your vet to order the Biogal brand VacciCheck in-house titer test kit. Biogal brand - VacciCheck® Antibody Test Kit
(is a new method) which is a simple and affordable in-clinic titer test designed to monitor serological status and vaccination failure to prevent over-vaccination consequences. VacciCheck provides reliable and accurate results in just 21 minutes!
Or find a Vet who is willing to help you provide the safest inexpensive way of keeping your pet well. If your pet has seroconverted, no matter what their age, they do not need another vaccination. Nor do they need a 'booster' at a year old, as they already have long-lasting immunity.
Dr. Edwards (Australian Vet) .... says, he has titer test puppies 2 weeks after initial vaccination, if it's positive then they need no more vaccinations (So - any dog or cat, of any age, can be titer tested 2 weeks after any C3 vaccination. If your puppy is going to respond, it will have by then. He has titer tested several puppies after their first vaccination like this, and they've had strongly positive titer levels.
Any further vaccinations for these puppies (or kittens) would have been completely unnecessary and may have caused the puppy in question harm. The whole 'booster' thing is really a false way to describe it - nearly all the so-called 'booster' vaccinations administered to our pets are completely unnecessary. There is no need for a so-called 'booster' vaccination a year after the puppy or your kitten's vaccinations.
Vitamin C
Weakness in joints and spine which cause Inflammation and pain in joints, spine area can be often associated with a vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Thus continued vaccinations that severely deplete Vitamin C and Magnesium (stress), will make your dog more susceptible to injuries and tears. Vitamin C is an anti-inflammatory that helps reduce and prevent inflammation and swelling. Research has shown that high doses of vitamin C given orally or in meals has been shown to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. We have had great improvement seen when vitamin C is restored back into the body.
Over vaccinations will severely deplete the body of Vitamin C.
Just to bring this awareness to you, if you have recently allowed a vet to give your pet a vaccination (over-vaccination), then this would be the cause of such pain now. Unfortunately, your vet will not associate this pain - acute or chronic - (or should we say admit) that many health joints, skin disease conditions are from side effects of vaccinations.
Dr. Ronald Schutz's research around the duration of immunity for C3 (Dog) and F3 (Cat) vaccinations has been around for ages - and is only a short google away from anyone.
