Whether your horse is experiencing swollen legs, puffy joints, or recurring skin issues, it's essential to look beyond symptom management. With the right guidance, the natural healing process can be supported gently and effectively.
There are two types of PSSM. Both types have an abnormal type of glycogen staining in muscle biopsies, and the types can be distinguished by genetic testing. At present there is not a specific genetic test for type 2 PSSM and scientists do not have conclusive evidence of an inherited gene.
The decision of whether to stable or turnout a horse should be based on the horse's individual needs and the conditions of the environment where it is kept. For some horses a combination of both stabling and living out works well.
Diet and understanding what is required nutritionally is our main focus. Herbs are about peak nutrition. What concerns me is the misunderstanding now that diet is a "science" (as all feed companies will tell us!) and that common sense no longer applies...

Metabolic Issues Addressed
As a long term user of Metabolic S, I can vouch for it's effectiveness. The selection of herbs ensure a balanced metabolism for my ponies, where there was an issue beforehand. Special thanks to McDowells for getting me back on the right track regarding diet and fine tuning health management to ensure ultimate effect of this medication.

WOW
Absolutely brilliant product.
The little pony had several farrier visits and over 4 weeks on another well known product for founder and still could t move. I had reached the stage that I thought I’d have to dig a hole and within 10 days of being on METOBOLIC - S, I had a little pony that was happily trotting around a paddock.
I couldn’t rate this product anything other than A miracle worker.

Metabolic S
As a long time user of this herbal preparation, I have experienced improvement and stabilization in my ponies health. She has suffered metabolic issues and been diagnosed with Cushings Disease. Metabolic S is an integral part of my management plan. As with all herbal remedies, they will only work to their ultimate effectiveness if all other well=being protocols are in place and strictly adhered to. In my case, with ongoing use, the 5 litre bottle is best value for money.

Great for Laminitic pony and fatty
I have been using this (& alleve8) on the laminitic pony that was off his food due to medications and pain. His appetite is back, he has been off all vet pain relief for 6 weeks and has recently stopped his other medication as I’m confident we’ll manage using this. I have a new pony that arrived over weight and has access to good pasture that I have been using metabolic S on also and can see weight loss/reduction in fatty areas

Metabolic s
My Suspected EMS horse is now on Metabolic-S after suffering 2 bouts of laminitis the second bout only 8 weeks ago. This stuff is amazing he is now ready for light exercise and the large fat pad on his neck is disappearing .

23yr old stock horse, gelding. Diagnosed with sub clinical laminitis with hoof abscess.
9 months ago Toby was very much overweight after 4 years of wet weather and so much grass! With advice from Cath on giving Metabolic S with a strict feeding regime and management Toby became a slimmer,healthier horse over a period of 3 months. He lost his cresty neck, his rugs no longer looked like mini-skirts and almost had a six pack. His hoofs have never been as good in the 9 years I've had him. Thoroughly recommend this product.

Successful Outcome
There is nothing more relieving and amazing than observing my laminitic ponies running at full gallop several days ago. Something I have not seen for a long time. I attribute this to sound management and Metabolic-S. I believe to be a winning formulation that is also assisting with one of my ponies that supposedly has Cushings Disease. As always, other management protocols should be practiced in order to facilitate maximum effect from medication.

Fabulous results
My stockhorse has struggled with soundness and laminitic episodes for ages. I didn't want to go down the path of constant medication. I have used this product in conjunction with Equigesta-Pre as per Cath's recommendations. What a result! Horse has lost all fatty pads and is comfortable and sound. He is also not 'starving' anymore. The vet was here the other day and could not believe the improvement. I love McDowells products!

So helpful
I used this on both of my miniature ponies with fantastic results. Both were lame barely able to walk within 5dats they were both walking and within two weeks happily cantering around like nothing ever happened. Their fatty spots have decreased significantly and I’ve started using it for my qh’s as well in hopes to reduce their fat!
