So buying iodized salt in small containers and not in bulk is best because of less loss of iodine to gaseous form? I just looked up the definition of sublimation (chemical). Just bought 8 lbs of

Fortunately Majestic's laminitis is under control for now. He's not showing signs of lameness but I'm keeping his weight down by feeding low starch/sugar mixed grass hay and California Trace minerals

My vet recently told me to do fecal tests and not to continue worming regularly unless it is indicated by the tests. I just did the tests and all my guys were negative. I imagine she will want me to

Lorna. I don't know exactly what you are requesting. I understand you had to separate my photo album link from my CH link. Do you want me to reconnect the album and the CH link? Sue -- Sue

Because my horse is old 28 and has Cushing’s and IR and probably a not so good immune system,I use ivermectin monthly and twice yearly I worm for tapes. But I will not use prazi quantal as that
