What is Vitiligo in Horses?
Vitiligo in horses is also sometimes called leukoderma, pinky, or fading syndrome.
It shows up as pigment loss, especially around the eyelids.
Equine vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder.
It’s also associated with certain nutritional deficiencies.
If you notice white patches on your horse, you should see a vet immediately.
Not all white patches are vitiligo and could be something more serious.
Western Treatment for Vitiligo in Horses
Most veterinarians recommend blood testing for nutritional deficiencies in the diet.
Then, they try to slow vitiligo’s progression by correcting the nutritional deficiency.
Unfortunately, being an autoimmune disease, the horse will probably have depigmentation for life.
Some people try home remedies.
One home remedy is wheat germ mixed with cod liver oil, applying a thin film to the affected area.
How Blood Heat Formula Helps Equine Vitiligo
Unfortunately, Western medicine doesn’t have many options for equine vitiligo.
Luckily, Eastern medicine offers additional solutions.
Eastern medicine has an herbal blend to help autoimmune skin disorders.
Interestingly, the herbal formula is not applied to the skin!
