Can I treat all animals with Essential Oils ?

You shouldn't treat cats and birds with aromatherapy ! Cats have very different metabolic functions to horses and dogs and are not capable of excreting the essential oils efficiently, and sometimes not at all.
This means that they stay in their bodies, and build up to reach toxic levels !
Birds should also not be exposed to any essential oils due to their extremely delicate respiratory systems.

What is actually arthritis ?

Basically, arthritis is the inflammation of a joint, and may involve any of the bones, ligaments, or synovial capsules. It may become chronic and infection may result from it. Enlargement of the joint usually occurs from increased production of synovia (lubricating fluid), increased blood supply and new bone growth or tissue thickening. Swelling in acute stage may be firm, warm and painful to touch and becomes hard and less painful with time. Movement of joint may be restricted, eventually permanent joint damage. Inflammation may also affect the bursae, which are sacs filled with fluid on prominent parts of bones or depressions in bone to form a hydraulic cushion for the tendons.

What can I do about ticks in the mane ?

Tickbites tend to leave a crusty, itchy surface of yellow pus causing the horse to scratch himself. The forelock seems to be one of the favourite places for ticks ! Some horses scratch themselves until they lose big patches of mane !
Apply an antiseptic oil or gel that soothes the irritated skin and at the same time acts as a tick deterrent !
