Want to add my experience of being to the point of making a vet appt to euthanize my boy during teh time I was trying to take him off Bute. We did not taper off. He was in very bad pain from NSAID

Thank you Dawn! Her feet do look weird in the photos, I'll try to get better photos tonight. In person her feet really don't look as bad as they do in the photos. She doesn't have the really tall

Re: Princess diagnosed with hind-hoof laminitis night before last

Amy, Morning is the worst time to evaluate them since they are usually worst then. That said, you may need to taper off the bute slowly. Keep your 1 gram for the next 24 hour dose, then stretch it

Re: Hidding Prascend

Hi Maria, If you are using Prascend it needs to stay in the packaging until right before use. With either the biscuit or the peanut I would put one pill and one carrier item in a single serving

Re: Feed for a VERY Picky PPID/IR Horse (CANADA)

Hi Nancy, You will get a full PR message shortly but with regard to your question on the Essential K - with an ESC of 8% and starch at 4.5% it's outside the ECIR recommendation for any

Re: Feed for a VERY Picky PPID/IR Horse (CANADA)

Nancy, Tribute Essential K is too high in sugar and starch for horses with IR. All of the Tribute products are in the same category. In the files section to the left there is a diet file, and in it

Re: Princess diagnosed with hind-hoof laminitis night before last

Amy, First, regarding the bute, jiaogulan, etc. Right now, you don't know what you are dealing with regarding active laminitis, possible concurrent abscesses, (and I'm really going out on a limb

Re: Hidding Prascend

Maria, none of my horses would go near the peanuts when I tried feeding them. I don’t think I’ve seen that anyone else had that problem but I recommend trying them before purchasing a 50# bag.

Re: Hidding Prascend

Maria,if you're going to prepare the peanut shells,you might consider putting the pills into them at the same time.That would make it super easy for the people giving them. Oh,maybe there's a reason
