With God all things are possible Posts: 3917	I have used Shephards purse. Check it out san Francisco Herb Company. It heals tissue my last bleeder I used this for three months with lasix. We scoped him before the Speed horse Derby he was barely pink he had fastest time in trials. I gave 1 cup per feeding Kept him on Shephards purse took him off lasix Accupuncture not sure how it could heal bleeding Edited by ladyjockey 2016-02-09 8:20 PM

Veteran Posts: 268	Thanks for the responses! I have an equine vet who does acupuncture coming so we can try it. She says it may help along with other therapies but likely not going to cure it. I have had a couple really horse vets tell me that bleeding is often due to some other inflammation in the body and often the horse is sore somewhere and may not outwardly show it....I an hoping if the acupuncture helps with these reasons, then I can help the bleeding inadvertently. We will see.... Edited by sandygirl1 2016-02-09 9:04 PM
