We were moving our horses from their winter pasture to our new ranch. I noticed that one of our horses that we bought last fall wasn't acting right, but being busy in moving I forgot about him. The next day when we were watering the horses I noticed that Trigger was lying down. I watched him and he got up and later he laid down again. During that time, of filling the water tanks, he laid down five times. This is not normal for a horse to do. They will lie down but when they get up they will not lie right back down again.
I knew Trigger probably had colic. When we were done Blaine and I caught him and we saw he really was looking sick. I listened to his stomach and there was barely any sound. This told us that he had colic. I gave him 20 drops of Di-Gize inside the lip and five drops each of Peppermint and Di-Gize on the frog of the front feet. I gave him five drops of Di-Gize in a squirt of OrthoSport in the palm of my hand and I massaged from his flank down under his stomach to help relax the muscles.
In less than three minutes he had a bowel movement and there was an increase of sounds in his stomach. After an hour of walking him around he seemed better. Before we left I gave him 40 drops of Di-Gize under his lip because the people we bought him from only de-wormed their horses once a year. So, we were concerned about the worms causing him to colic. I also noticed that he had a cough. We didn't have all our oils with us so the next day when we came down to water and check on the horses, I brought the rest of my oils to use. Trigger was better but still acted sick so we dewormed him with 10 oz. of ParaFree. I also applied R. C. and Melaleuca Ericifolia on his chest, and Raven and Oregano on the frog of his front feet. I did the RainDrop Technique on his spine with Oregano and Thyme, plus he received Di-Gize again.
The next day, you wouldn't believe that he was the same horse! He had a sparkle in his eyes and his cough was gone. He came up to eat his grain and wouldn't let another horse take his grain. Days before he wouldn't eat and didn't care if they took his grain. The essential oils came to the rescue again in saving the life of this horse!
Important Caution from Artemis - repeated from Animal and Oils part 1: With dogs and horses, you would typically use the same oils you'd use in a human, and simply adjust according to their size. Typically I use the same number of drops on a horse that I would on a human, and generally slightly less on a large dog, and less again on a small dog.....at least until I guage their response, and then I might "ramp up" the number of drops used. However, cats metabolize oils differently from dogs and horses, and in general the citrus oils and the hot oils containing phenols (oils like Thieves, Oregano, Thyme, Cinnamon, etc.) are toxic to cats. I do not use these oils on my cats. Instead I use the gentler oils, and I use them only occasionally (rather than daily use). I never use more than one drop on a cat, and most often I will put the drop in my own hands, rub my hands together, and then stroke my hands over the cat (so the cat receives less than one drop). Alternatively, dilution is possible. Again, I guage my cat's reaction - my cats have told me in no uncertain terms that I mustn't use oils like Peace and Calming on them (because of the citrus)......whereas they are a lot more accepting of the earthier-fragranced oils like Spikenard and Vetiver - the oils that smell like dirt and forest.
We would be grateful for any product testimonials you have to share.
