Nutrition
Each horse is assessed and all practitioner information is considered. A determination is made on whether or not more diagnostics are necessary to gain a full picture of the horse’s nutritional requirements. This includes an in depth look at gastric and hind gut health which is now known to be necessary for proper immune function, pain control, growth and healing. Treating the GI system requires nutritional support and often medication.
