Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Hot Hoof II is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) formula that clears Damp-Heat, clears Heat-toxin, activates Blood, and resolves Stagnation to address acute Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin patterns with Blood stagnation affecting the hooves and lower limbs in horses. Based on the classical Yin Chen San from the equine veterinary text Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608), this thirteen-herb formula combines potent Damp-Heat-clearing, Heat-toxin-resolving, and Blood-invigorating herbs with Qi-moving and channel-unblocking agents to address the acute inflammatory component of hoof and lower limb patterns. 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 phase of inflammation; once local inflammation is under control, transition to Hot Hoof I for ongoing support. Dosing varies by condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

Hot Hoof II is a thirteen-herb formula built on a Damp-Heat-clearing and Heat-toxin-resolving base, with Blood-invigorating, Qi-moving, and channel-unblocking herbs to address acute Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin patterns with Blood stagnation in the hooves and lower limbs:
Hot Hoof II contains potent Heat-clearing and purging herbs (Da Huang, Huang Qin, Zhi Zi, Yin Chen Hao) alongside Blood-invigorating herbs (Hong Hua, Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Mo Yao, Dang Gui) that may interact with certain medications. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in horses remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, anti-inflammatory medications, laxative or purgative medications, and horses managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 2 months during the acute inflammatory phase, followed by transition to Hot Hoof I for 1 to 3 months. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, current medications, and clinical assessment.

Hot Hoof II is most commonly recommended for horses with TCVM patterns of acute Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin with Blood stagnation affecting the hooves and lower limbs, where Damp-Heat accumulation has led to acute inflammation, heat, and pain in the hoof and lower limb channels. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for horses with acute hoof inflammatory patterns rooted in Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin. Do not use during pregnancy.
Dosing varies by condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For the 90g concentrated powder, the standard equine dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, with the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g and the small scoop holding approximately 0.25g. One 90g concentrated supply lasts approximately 2 weeks at standard equine dosing. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs.
The manufacturer recommends a specific two-phase treatment sequence. Use Hot Hoof II first during the acute inflammatory phase, for up to 2 months. Its strong Damp-Heat-clearing, Heat-toxin-resolving, and Blood-invigorating actions directly address acute inflammation. 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. This sequencing reflects the classical TCVM approach of using stronger clearing and purging formulas acutely, then transitioning to gentler tonifying or supporting formulas for recovery and maintenance. Your holistic veterinarian will guide the transition timing based on your horse's clinical response.
Hot Hoof II contains several herbs that are contraindicated or require caution during pregnancy in classical Chinese medicine. Da Huang (Chinese rhubarb) is a strong purgative and Blood-invigorating herb that can stimulate uterine contractions. Hong Hua (safflower) and other Blood-invigorating herbs in the formula (Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Mo Yao) are also contraindicated during pregnancy due to their Blood-moving and stasis-dispersing actions. The combination of strong purging, Heat-clearing, and Blood-invigorating herbs makes this formula inappropriate for use during pregnancy.
