Based on the classical Yin Chen San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses), written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608, this thirteen-herb formula pairs a powerful Damp-Heat-clearing chief (Yin Chen Hao) with a Heat-toxin-resolving and purging deputy triad (Huang Qin, Zhi Zi, Da Huang), a Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing quartet (Hong Hua, Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Mo Yao), a Blood-nourishing assistant (Dang Gui), a Qi-moving pair (Zhi Ke, Qing Pi), a channel-directing herb (Jie Geng), and a harmonizing envoy (Gan Cao) to address the acute inflammatory component of hoof and lower limb patterns. Available in 90g concentrated powder or 600g standard powder. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Hot Hoof II is intended for use during the acute inflammatory phase for up to 2 months; once local inflammation is under control, transition to Hot Hoof I for 1 to 3 months of ongoing support.

Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for horses with acute hoof inflammatory patterns rooted in Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin, particularly when accompanied by heat and swelling in the lower limbs, a red or purple tongue, and a rapid, slippery pulse. Do not use during pregnancy. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hot Hoof II.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Hot Hoof II administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDosing varies by condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the standard equine dose is 3g (about 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds about 1.2g, and the small scoop holds about 0.25g. One 90g concentrated supply lasts approximately 2 weeks at standard equine dosing. For dogs and cats, the guideline is 0.5 to 1 small scoop per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix the powder directly into wet or dry food or feed at each meal. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs.

Once local inflammation is under control, discontinue Hot Hoof II and begin Hot Hoof I as needed for 1 to 3 months for ongoing support, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Based on the classical Yin Chen San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses), written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608, this thirteen-herb formula pairs a powerful Damp-Heat-clearing chief (Yin Chen Hao) with a Heat-toxin-resolving and purging deputy triad (Huang Qin, Zhi Zi, Da Huang), a Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing quartet (Hong Hua, Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Mo Yao), a Blood-nourishing assistant (Dang Gui), a Qi-moving pair (Zhi Ke, Qing Pi), a channel-directing herb (Jie Geng), and a harmonizing envoy (Gan Cao) to address the acute inflammatory component of hoof and lower limb patterns. Available in 90g concentrated powder or 600g standard powder. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Hot Hoof II is intended for use during the acute inflammatory phase for up to 2 months; once local inflammation is under control, transition to Hot Hoof I for 1 to 3 months of ongoing support.

Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for horses with acute hoof inflammatory patterns rooted in Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin, particularly when accompanied by heat and swelling in the lower limbs, a red or purple tongue, and a rapid, slippery pulse. Do not use during pregnancy. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hot Hoof II.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Hot Hoof II administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDosing varies by condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the standard equine dose is 3g (about 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds about 1.2g, and the small scoop holds about 0.25g. One 90g concentrated supply lasts approximately 2 weeks at standard equine dosing. For dogs and cats, the guideline is 0.5 to 1 small scoop per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix the powder directly into wet or dry food or feed at each meal. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs.

Use Hot Hoof II first during the acute inflammatory phase for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian; its strong Damp-Heat-clearing, Heat-toxin-resolving, and Blood-invigorating actions directly address acute inflammation in the hooves and lower limbs. Once local inflammation is under control, discontinue Hot Hoof II and begin Hot Hoof I as needed for 1 to 3 months for ongoing support, or as directed by your veterinarian. This sequencing reflects the classical TCVM approach of using stronger clearing and purging formulas acutely, then transitioning to gentler supporting formulas for recovery and maintenance. Your holistic veterinarian will guide the transition timing based on your horse's clinical response.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy is Hot Hoof II contraindicated during pregnancy?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHot Hoof II contains several herbs that are contraindicated during pregnancy in classical Chinese medicine.

Hong Hua (safflower), Chi Shao (red peony root), Chuan Xiong (Sichuan lovage rhizome), and Mo Yao (myrrh resin) are all Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing herbs that are contraindicated during pregnancy due to their strong Blood-moving actions.
