Seen by me yesterday - significant atrophy and/or tightness in muscles almost all the way along Bladder channel. Muscle is still there, just tighter and more sunken. Particularly poor development in "poverty groove" - in caudal rump between semimemb/tend and gluteals I think.
Probably wiry pulse- maybe floating even. Haven't got my horse tongue checks down pat yet.
Acupuncture of BL40, BL64, BL28, BL23 and massage along the channel all seemed to help.
Seemed to be a Tai yang pathogen invasion - likely Wind in a TBred horse. Have you had any success with formulas to assist in dealing with this - I imagine Gui Zhi Tang might be classically indicated? What doses might you begin a horse like this on.
my main concern was with the atrophy, has there begun an associated Wei syndrome issue which needs to be dealt with separately or in a different way?
Chiropractic issues you may have seen for a horse like this too?
Thanks
Mike
