Pro – Comb  # 3 – Stimulate the Horses’ Natural Thirst Impulses and Encurages Sweating and Electrolytes

The Como stimulates the horse’s natural thirst impulse which in turn encourages sweating (anhydrosis).

The powerful formulas work to balance the body’s water, electrolytes and pH levels. The elimination of uric acid, caused by excess protein, is also  increased.

Pro-Combo #3 is an important combination of nutrients that the body needs for the kidneys to function properly. One of the kidneys function is to keep the electrolyte level in balance. PC #3 gives the horse rhythmic, well coordinated movements by transmitting the right impulses from nerves to muscles. One of the first visible symptom of urinary tract disturbance is when the horse lagg its left hind leg, get inflammations in the flexor tendons and back stiffness.

Anhydrosis in horses and its symptoms
Anhydrosis is the inability of a horse to produce normal amounts of sweat. Some horses sweat normally in spring, but develop anhydrosis in the summer as heat, humidity and work increase.

Your horse may show intolerance for exercise or they’ll pant.  It is impossible for horses to breathe through their mouth, but in distress, they will try.  You may notice your horse playing around more with the water bucket, standing in shade or rolling in water and mud to cool down. Great success has been accomplished with proper feed, Pro-Combo #3 formula specifically for anhydrosis.

The importance of water
It is tremendously important that the horse drinks plenty of water.

Always use a bucket when feeding your horse water, that is the only way to know how much the horse is drinking.
