Thank you for responding....I feel so bad for this gentle giant of a mule, great saddle mule too. Getting much help from the local vets here is dismal but I have a great contact that does chiro/plus

Try getting some baby food pureed peas. Put a tablespoon or two on top of her bucket meals for a day or two, then do the same but with the pergolide hidden inside. She will likely go for this pea baby

Hello... I looked through the "Files" hoping to find a list of suggestions for giving my Maisie Donkey her compounded Pergolide capsules, and did not find anything there. I've needed to treat her

Hi Peggy, When did he start gaining weight and buckling when ridden? I'm not sure what you mean by the lamina thinning. Could he have meant stretching? We will know a lot more after you get the

Hello Kirsten and all, I am so happy to have finally succeeded in posting a message. Whew! Today we have the radiographs done of Solo's front hooves. This should provide more information about his
