Testing for Equine Infectious Anemia or EIA

Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) is difficult to diagnose
because the symptoms can mimic various other diseases and
each horse can appear to have different symptoms. The most
accurate way to determine whether you horse is infected with
EIA is by a Coggins test, it is the most reliable test to
date.

Symptoms vary from horse to horse which make EIA difficult
to diagnose. EIA can also mimic certain other disease and
some horses may not demonstrate any obvious signs at all!
The acute horse may be difficult to diagnose because the
symptoms are very general and he will not show as positive
on the EIA test for a month and a half. As you can see,
this is a very difficult disease to diagnose and may comprise
of one or more of the following signs or symptoms:

* Fever (normal temperature of a horse is
(99.5 to 101.5 degrees F).

* Sudden fluctuations in the horses temperature
(this may exceed 105 degrees F).

* Weak pulse and/ or an irregular heartbeat.

* Rapid breathing and sweating.

* Decreased appetite and weight loss.

* Horse appears depressed.

* Bloodshot eyes and a watery discharge.

* Swelling of the lower chest, abdomen or legs.

* Abortion in the mare.

* General weakness resulting in a wobbly or rolling type gait

* Mucous membranes appear pale or yellowish in color

Although most horses surrender rapidly to EIA, some infected
horses do appear to recover. Horses that have contracted the
EIA virus are carriers of the disease and at times of stress may
become ill with the disease again. To insure that your horse is
not harboring the virus a simple 'Coggins test' is preformed.
Contact your veterinarian at the above first signs for advise
and information.

Horse riding and vaulting is a great activity to pursue at almost any age provided you are in proper health to handle the rigors of being in the saddle.

Sometimes, the demands of modern life seem to require an endless supply of energy. It’s hard enough just trying to squeeze everything in, then finding the energy to actually do everything presents a whole other obstacle. Are *YOU* low on natural energy?

When it comes to maintaining your good health, even when we try to eat well, we're still disadvantaged…
The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.

The best nutrition products I know of make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
