I had a mare boarded with me during her IV treatment for Lyme. She was not stalled either; turnout with a shelter. We did use a sleazy to help keep it in place - the kind that covers just neck and

Thank you. I don't know what to do about hay pellets if Stanlee Timothy pellets are not appropriate. Can't afford the recommended ODTB cubes. The alternative seems to be alfalfa or alfalfa mixed

Hi all, The subject of PSSM is being discussed a lot recently among Gypsy Horse owners. A post today mentioned that a vet was recommending a low sugar diet, but also Rice bran pellets and Soybean

Thank you so much!

Angela, I remember your encouragement when I went through such a difficult time with Satin - you were there for us. I am so sorry - the heart ache is almost unbearable, except we have to be here for

Thanks to everyone for the kinds words and understaning. She was almost 35 years and the rock in my family and our horse family, after losing Jarrah.They were best buds in life and now together in

My trainer recently purchased a TheraPlate. It seems ok but I am concerned whether or not Pabatsa should be on this thing with his mild distal descent? Could it possibly cause a separation or

Just wanted to chime in here... I feed Mountain Sunrise Bermuda pellets and on their website it shows the NSC is 5.7%. I called them a few weeks ago and was told that they don't change the analysis

Hi Christina, The analysis is posted and it says Bermuda Plus pellets on the analysis. The analysis is also dated April, 2009 so really has little to no relevance to what is happening now. The Plus

Oh, Angela - I am sorry to hear about Bridie. You and the girls have been shining stars for me ever since I joined the group. Fly free, Bridie - you are one amazing soul (as is your mum). Jaini

Thank you, Lavina. Sorry I switched the labels for the test results - egads! Do you know if treating the Lyme in the manner you described would also treat the Lepto? Also, how do you manage a

Hi Suzanne, Took a look at the sole shots. There has been some progress (yay!) but it looks like the farrier is being too timid with getting the RF toe backed as far as is needed and backing the heels

Hi Tiffany, If these are non-fasting, properly handled results then this is fantastic! Excellent job getting her diet squared away. A note on her thyroid results - she was on bute the first time the

Hi Patty, Can't comment on the Lepto results but the Lyme results (your test results have the labels reversed) show a positive OspF value, which is indicative of a chronic Lyme infection. Have a read

Are you SURE that this is the analysis for the Plus version? I know that minerals were added to have them balanced to the pellets, for this specific purpose, and Dr. Barbara Page, who is my vet for

Hi Karen, Here are a couple of posts by Kathleen(Dr. Gustafson) that will
