Cushings Protocol Alternative to Pergolide Prascend for Horses

Cushing’s Free Naturally is a natural cushing’s supplement for horses.

The drug Pergolide known also by the brand name Prascend is the prescribed drug treatment for cushing’s disease in horses. While it is the most commonly prescribed treatment, some horses refuse to take Prascend Pergolide or do not respond well to the treatment.

If you’re looking for alternatives to Prascend, Cushings Free Naturally is a natural cushing’s supplement for horses that may be an option. It is very palatable pelletized blend of herbs. 

Before you start your horse on Cushings Free Naturally- If your horse is currently on another treatment: Consulting with your veterinarian is recommended prior to using this product.

It may be possible to manage Equine Cushing’s Disease with the correct dietary and lifestyle changes. Feeding low sugar, low starch feed and hay along with an herbal supplement for Cushing’s support daily is beneficial.

Cushing’s horses require limited access to grass to avoid founder and using slow feeders for hay is recommended. Adding regular movement and exercise and natural hoof care and you can get your Cushing’s horse sound, happy and symptom free.
