http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ClassicalHomeopathyPets/?yguid=354615195 I would check out this group...with Homeopathic Remedies, if they do not cure, they at the least cause no harm. And in my experience...they tend to cure the majority of the time. Homeopathic treatments address the core cause of the illness or disease...where as typical Western Medicines often address the symptoms of the problem, but not the problem's core issue.

I've had a bit of experience when I was working in a boarding stable, but when it got really bad, they took the horse home. It usually starts from scratches (grease heel). If you look on the back of the horse's pasterns, you'll probably find some scabs. You want to get that cleared up. Scrub it clean to get the scabs off and then try a sweat of furacin and DMSO, with brown paper and/or plastic wrap over it and then a regular bandage. Keeping the horse moving is also important, no matter how painful. Beyond that, do what your vet says. I'm sure a lot of the treatment has improved over the nineteen years since I was dealing with it. Be very careful when working with him. Lymphangitis is EXTREMELY painful. Even the gentlest horse is going to be inclined to nail you with a hind foot when he is in that much pain. Keep your face well out of the way while you are treating him. I personally know two different people who have lost eyes to being kicked in the face.
