Valeree, can you send me an email? I don't see any way to get your contact info. I thought it was just an issue on my phone, but now I'm on my computer and all I can do is "contact sender", but that

Beth, I live in a notoriously low selenium area in the Great Lakes. My neighbor milked around 120 head of Holsteins for decades and several years ago, suddenly started having calf after calf born weak

I would definitely recommend stabilized if you are buying it ground. Non-stabilized ground flax has a very short shelf life. I personally buy whole seed and grind right before feeding. Joule --

What is her breed? Warm Blood? Paso Fino? An 88 lb foal is pretty small for a horse. You must be doing something right in horsekeeping to have such long lived horses. Congratulations! I know the

Hi Beth, Nice to hear from you anyway! I can't tell you why, but the bottom line reason is the diet was low enough in selenium to trigger an obvious deficiency disease in the foals. Could be forage

Dawn, I don't expect any such issues. I transported them out here from California with no problems. The trip is expected to take 3 days and giving meds is no issue. The horses were born and lived most

Yes it is ground flax. -- Reta Sept 7, 2017 Gananoque, ON, CA https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Reta%20and%20Whistler . https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=10035

Hi Dawn, Mill, my 31 year old PPID & IR pacemaker dependent Arabian mare and Jack, my 21 year old IR TN Walker both received the vaccine with no problems along with floating. Mill's was without

Hi Dr Kellon Long time no talk! And this is a horrible topic but I’m hopeful you can help. We (my daughter actually) bred a horse and we have had tragically lost the baby. Starting from the

Oops, I think I just sent an empty message. Alana, once you decide the what and where, I would get APF on board for your horses before the trip. Even if the shipper won't continue giving it, I

Alanna, I would seriously reconsider moving a 28 and 29 year old horse across the country into a completely different environment ( desert without seasonal changes) that includes extreme heat. You are

And thanks to LJ as well. I think a backyard place is probably likely to be the best fit, as well, if I don't find a little property to rent. -- Alanna May 2018 South Bend, IN Buster's case history:

Thanks, Valeree. I'll send you a message. I'm comfortable with an hour commute to the barn, and I'm used to buying and testing my own hay and feed so that's not an issue. -- Alanna May 2018 South

Is the flax ground, Reta? I have always used whole flax, ground just before feeding, and it has always stayed fresh. I buy it at Bulk Barn or at a feed store. -- Bonnie and Lad North Ontario Dec

I seem to be having a problem with the flax I use in my horse's supplements. I buy non stablized flax from a local feed store. The flax is used for animal consumption and it has a coarse texture. I

Hi Dawn - we vaccinated Sunday with that vaccine this spring. Last year he only got the 3 way, because we were planning on splitting the vaccines & doing the WNV & rabies after a few weeks. He had a

Absolutely no problem Jewel had a bit of localized swelling at injection site for a couple days, but other wise no problem. She’s anIR Cushings horse for those that don t know. Jewel and Cheryl--

Alanna, Boarding in the LA area is a nightmare at best and worse if you have a special needs horse. You will need to decide how far a commute you're willing to put up with and you will need to test

You Write that lab ranges are not normals. Does this also apply in human and small animal lab results? -- LJ Friedman Nov 2014 Vista, Northern San Diego, CA Jesse and majestic ‘s Case History

I like the idea of leaving them behind until you find the right place. In my experience a private person taking care of less than eight horses is ideal. -- LJ Friedman Nov 2014 Vista, Northern
