Cushings remedy
The turn around in my horses health, energy and attitude is more than I expected. He is 24 years old and is now running in from the paddock for his feed, his coat though long has dappled, he has also improved in his condition, from ribs visible to covered. Thankyou Mcdowell Staff.

Cushings-S
This product is amazing. I have not seen my horses true colors in years on Prascend and pergolide. It is expensive! If I can get her off of the Prascend and holding steady on this it will be worth it. She looks and feels better and hasn't been lame for 3 weeks! Her long hair is falling out and her natural coat is looking like it's going to be dark and sleek once the shed is complete. Her belly isn't looking so distended lately either and I have no problems getting her to eat it mixed in her food. This could be a complete game changer after battling with PPID for so long.

Big Improvement
Within one week of starting the Cushings-S mixture my 23 year old gelding started to look much better. He has now shed his coat and is shiny with dapples starting to appear. Before starting the Cushings-S mixture I was concerned with his weight and the "pot belly" look which has now disappeared. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a cushings horse.

Happily surprised!
I have an 18 year old Oldenburg mare who has Cushings and is Insulin Resistant. She’s been on 2 Pergolide tablets a day that didn’t seem to help her. I was skeptical but decided to try Cushing-S. within 2 weeks, I started seeing small improvements. After 2 more weeks, my “wooly mammoth” actually started shedding! She hasn’t done that in years!! I’m anxious to see more positive effects. She Is pretty picky, but eats her grain with the Cushing-S mixed in. it smells like a garlicky marinade, but she seems to like it.

Cushings-S is an important element of everyone’s Cushings dietary plan.
I have two horses with Cushing’s disease. One is a 25-year-old Tennessee Walker and the other is a miniature UK Shetland pony who is 16 years old. Both horses are dear family members. After I lost another horse to Cushing’s, I vowed to learn more about the disease and how to help my horses naturally. Catherine McDowell is kind, responsive, knowledgeable and generous with the years of experience she has amassed learning about herbal therapies. Even though I live in the United States, and California in particular, I ship these products all the way from Australia because of their efficacy. The freight kills me to get it here, but both horses have good digestive tracts now and have not had a laminitis flareup in a very long time. I know that it is largely in due to all the dietary lessons I have learned from Catherine. Nash and Bailey, my horses, say thank you, Catherine!

My pony Gypsy has been diagnosed with Cushings
My pony Gypsy has been diagnosed with Cushings disease earlier this year so I have put her on McDowell’s Cushings Mix. Last summer her coat did not shed as normal that was the sign that I decided to have her tested for cushings.
She started on the herbs the end of June, 2017.
Well, it has been an enormous success!
She is healthy happy and looks a million dollars this summer.
Her first test was done in March (not that you should test then because it is always higher in autumn)
ACTH was 339, then after being on herbs for 2 months ACTH was 53
Then the last test late Oct 17 ACTH is 32 -Suggested level to be 29 –
Her coat has completely shed and she looks wonderful. ☺
Thanks McDowell herbs

Poppy
3 weeks ago I started my 24 yr old warmblood Mare, Poppy on your Cushings liquid. Needed to put a clean rug on as I have been away for 2 weeks and couldn't believe my eyes! With no change to her diet, her dapples have returned and the scaly patches have cleared. The clumpy patches of thicker hair on her body have gone as has the long hairs in her belly and her draft horse socks have also gone! So delighted as she hadn't had a bath or decent brush in ages! So delighted! Be ordering some more shortly! What a great product! THANKYOU so much!

"I have a wonderful story to share"
My miniature horse was diagnosed with cushings disease and following that, founder in all four legs. He was prescribed pergolide and bute for the pain.
I did everything I could to make it easier for him to walk. I then found Cath McDowell's website, and ordered Cushing-S. He got better in 4 days and he is still improving! I'd advise anybody with a problem animal to give her a call!
Thank you Cath!"
