Educational Overview 

Equine – Cottonweed Exposure & Detox Support 

Cottonweed, also known as Asclepias syriaca or common milkweed, contains naturally occurring toxins that can affect the heart, digestive system, and overall vitality of grazing animals. Understanding how exposure occurs and what early signs look like helps support timely veterinary evaluation.

Common Causes

• Ingestion of fresh or dried Asclepias syriaca plants while grazing
• Consumption of contaminated hay or forage containing milkweed stems or leaves
• Limited pasture availability leading animals to eat unfamiliar or unpreferred plants
• Environmental stressors such as drought, overgrazing, or poor pasture rotation increasing exposure
• Young or inexperienced animals sampling toxic plants out of curiosity

Common Signs

• Digestive upset such as drooling, abdominal discomfort, or reduced appetite
• Changes in heart rate or rhythm due to cardiac glycoside effects
• Weakness, unsteady gait, or reluctance to move
• Tremors, restlessness, or behavioural changes
• In severe cases, collapse or signs of significant cardiovascular stress
• In ruminants, decreased rumen activity or reduced milk production may be observed

Recognizing how Cottonweed exposure occurs and understanding early signs of toxicity helps support prompt veterinary assessment and protects herd health.

SET OF

Supportive Nutrients

• Vitamin C: supports antioxidant protection and tissue integrity.

• Zinc: assists with skin health and enzyme function.

• Magnesium: supports muscle relaxation and nerve balance.

• Probiotics or live-culture feeds: help maintain gut flora after toxic exposure or stress.
  
  

Additional Practitioner Considerations

• Mitral Valve Regurgitation – If heart symptoms are related to valve inefficiencies, you may also consider the natural, plant-based 305 Support Set.
  
  

• High Blood Pressure – The natural, plant-based 148 formula may be used alongside Magnesium glycinate powder or Magnesium (ReMag) drops with meals. Potassium and magnesium support healthy circulation and may help reduce risks linked with high blood pressure.
  
  

• Fluid Build-Up – The DuraAid 23 formula can be considered as a supportive alternative to diuretic drugs such as furosemide, or used alongside them. Work with your veterinarian to monitor and adjust medications if needed.

Supportive Tip

If your pet is on heart medications, side effects should be carefully watched. In some cases, Rescue Support 258-2 may be used with Vitamin C, electrolytes, and potassium for additional nutritional support.
