As title, my horse has been diagnosed with IMHA and the vet will start steroids in 2 weeks (or before if he deteriorates). In the meantime he has received an injection of vitamin B12 and is on iron supplement to help with the aneamia.
What supplement/herbs etc could I give him to help him cope with the steroids? The therapy would be of around 3 months so any advice taken.
Thanks!
 
Mine is on 100 steroid tablets a day and has been since early March we prob have another 2 months to go before we start weaning him off.

My vet recommended milk thistle to help his liver but he is also on spearmint for gassy colic and pink powder.

Hope this helps.
